Abstract
Some new fused heterotricyclic systems containing the cyanopyrimidine moiety have been synthesized from the interaction between 2-mercapto-4-arylidene-5-cyanopyrimidin-6(1H)one (1) with bi-functional halogen and nitrogen compounds. Structures of the new products have been established by elemental analyses and spectral data (UV, IR, 1H NMR and mass). Effect of the newly synthesized compounds on the activity of the cellobiase produced by Aspergillus nidulans was studied.
