Abstract

A new synthesis of 6-amino-1-hydroxyethoxymethyl-4 (5H)-oxopyrazolo[3, 4]pyrimidine (4) has been mentioned. Compound 4 exhibited inhibition of amastigotes of Leishmania donovani to the extent of 89% at 30 μg/mL, whereas iso-guanine analogue 5 had the inhibition only to the extent of 52.8% at 100 μg/mL in vitro. In hamster model the maximum inhibitory response for compound 4 against amastigotes multiplication was observed to be 94% at 50 Mug/kg single dose for 5 consecutive days.
