Hydroxamic acids ar very well known for their antibacterial 3-5, antifungal 6-7, antitumor 8-9, anticancer 10, antituberculosis 11 and antimalerial 12 properties. Hydroxamic acids are inhibitors of enzymes such as prostaglandin H2 synthatase 13, peroxidase 14, urease 15 and matrix metalloproteinase 16. Cinnamohydroxamic acids are used for treatment of the symptoms of asthma and other obstructive airway diseases which inhibit 5-lip group Oase 17. A bit of hydroxamic acid analogues have been shown to inhibit DNA (dinucleic acid) synthesis by inactivating the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) 18. Naturally occurringhydroxamic acid, 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA) is a powerfulantibiotic testify inmaize 19. Antiradical and antioxidant properties of hydroxamic acids have also been observed 20. Hydroxamic acids play important role in galore(postnominal) chemical, biochemical, pharmaceutical, analytical, and industrial fields 21-25. These diverse biological activities of hydroxamic acids are over cod to their complexing properties towards transition metal ions 26-27. Siderophores are Fe(III) complexes of naturally occurring hydroxamic acids, involved in the processes of iron transport from the environment to the vivacious organisms 28-29. Hydroxamic acids after deprotonation acts as bidentate ligands and octahedral complexes are formed through the co-ordination of two oxygen atom of the CONHO- group. This type of co-ordination have been studied with Cr(III), Fe(III), Ni(II), Co(II) and Zn(II) ions in solid state as well as in firmnesss, indicating the formation of octahedral compl exes 30.We report herein the synthesis, structural features and antimicrobial activity of new hydroxamic acid, 2,4,6-trioxo-1,3-di-p-tolyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid hydroxamide (3) as well as their metal complexes 4a-d with Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II) and Zn(II) metal salts.EXPERIMENTALReagents and method actingsAll chemical used in the present investigation were of analytical reagent grade. 1,3- Di-p-tolylbarbituric acid was synthesized by previously known method in the laboratory. atomic number 29 acetate monohydrate, nickle acetate tetrahydrate, cobalt acetate tetrahydrate and zinc acetate dihydrate were purchased from E-Merck.

Then ethyl chloroformate 1.60ml, 0.0165 mol. was added drop-wise over half an hour. The mixture was subsequently stirred for 12 hours at 00C, thus, allowed to impassioned to the room temperature for 7 hours. The product is extracted in chloroform and dried over Na2SO4. Further, chloroform was evaporated to dryness and plebeian(a) product was recrystallised from ethyl alcohol to yield pure 2.Step 2 2,4,6-trioxo-1,3-di-p-tolyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid hydroxamide (3) from ethyl 2,4,6-trioxo-1,3-di-p-tolyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (2).Synthesis of 2,4,6-trioxo-1,3-di-p-tolyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid hydroxamide (3) was carried out by adopting a method similar to that described by Griffith et al 32. The mixture of hydroxylamine hydrochloride 1.87g, 0.026 mol. and aqueous potassium hydroxide 2.19g, 0.039 mol. was added drop-wise to a methanolic solution of ethyl 2,4,6-trioxo-1,3-di-p-tolyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (2) 5g, 0.013 mol. . The solution was stirred at room temperature for 72 hours and then acidified to pH 5.5 using 5% HCl solution. After filtration the solvent was removed in vacuo to yield a solid. The crude product was recrystallised from hot water to yield pure compound 3.Synthesis of metal complexesSynthesis of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II) and Zn(II) complexes of 2,4,6-trioxo-1,3-di-p-tolyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid hydroxamide (3).Copper acetate monohydrate 0.136g, 0.00068 mol. in cold water was added with stirring to 2,4,6-trioxo-1,3-di-p-tolyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid hydroxamide (3) 0.50 g, 0.00136 mol. in EtOH (20 ml) in a round bottom flask.

This band has shifted towards negative region 1626-1609 cm-1 in the metal complexes indicating the coordination of the ligand with the metal ion through oxygen of the carbonyl group. The symmetric N-O stretching vibrations, obtained in the region 1120 cm- 1 in the IR spectra of ligands, have shifted to lower side in the IR spectra of their metal complexes suggesting the coordination of ligand to the metal ion through oxygen of the N-O moiety 34. The presence of water molecules within coordination subject of all chelates were supported by broad bands in the region 3450-3280 cm-1 and 850-800 cm-1 due to stretching and deformation modes of set up water molecules, respectively. The appearance of new band in the IR spectra of metal chelates in the region 551-519 cm-1 is presumable due to formation of M-O bonds 35.Table 1.

In the Zn(II) complex only transitions due to * and n* were seen.Antimicrobial activitySynthesized ligand 3 and metal chelates 4a-d were tested for their antimicrobial activity against two bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and two fungi Aspregillus flavus and genus genus Aspergillus niger by adopting Serial Dilution Method 45-46.. The micro-organisms were cultured in nutrient agar medium 46 which was on the watch by taking 6.0 gm p eptone, 1.50 gm beef extract, 1.0 gm dextrose, 3.0 g yeast extract, 1.50 g agar (for slant) in 1 liter distilled water for bacteria and 10.0g peptone, 20.0g dextrose, 20.50g agar (for slant) in 1 liter distilled water for fungi. Measured quantities of the test compounds were dissolved in propylene glycol. First set was prepared for primary screening by taking 1ml (2000g/ml) of seeded broth (obtained by 1 deoxycytidine monophosphate dilution of the incubated micro-organism broth culture) in 10 well cleaned sterilized test tubes and gradual dilution process was continued for all the ten tubes using a fresh pipette each time. All the above sets of tubes were incubated at 37oC for 24 hours for bacteria and at 28oC for 96 hours for fungi. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values were determined at the finis of incubation period. Active synthesized compounds, found in the primary screening were further tested for secondary screening by taking 1ml (1500g/ml) of seeded broth again st all microorganisms.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONIn this present live on synthesis of 2,4,6-trioxo-1,3-di-p-tolyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid hydroxamide (3) was carried out by adding an aqueous solution of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and potassium hydroxide drop-wise to a methanolic solution of ethyl 2,4,6-trioxo-1,3-di-p-tolyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (2). The solution was continuously stirred for 72 hours at room temperature, which on acidification give crude solid. (Scheme I). Compound 3 on stirring with different metal salts, gave corresponding metal complexes 4a-d (Scheme II).All the metal complexes obtained were solid and stable at room temperature and insoluble in most of the common organic solvents.

The experimental results of MIC values (Table 3) show moderate activity of all the compounds against both bacteria and fungi. Further, it has been found that the metal complexes were more active than hydroxamic acid. This increased antimicrobial activity of the complexes as compared to the hydr oxamic acid is probably due to the fact that chelation increases the lipophilicity of the complexes, which subsequently enhances the penetration through the lipid layer of cell membrane and restricts further multiplicity of the microorganism 46. Among the metal complexes, Cu (II) complex 4a was found most active against both bacteria and fungi. The higher antimicrobial activity of Cu (II) complex may be due to higher constancy constant of copper complexes.Table 3.
