Synthesis and anti-histaminic activity of some novel pyrimidines.

Novel pyrimidines were prepared by the condensation of chalcones of 4'-piperazine acetophenone with guanidine HCl. The structures of the synthesized compounds RP 1-5 were assigned on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, (1)H NMR and mass spectroscopy. These compounds were also screened for anti-histaminic activity. The recorded percentage of histamine inhibition showed a significant anti-histaminic activity when compared to the reference anti-histaminic drug mepiramine.
