Synthesis and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of 7-methyl-2-(phenoxymethyl)-5H-[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one derivatives

Synthesized title compounds 6a-t are characterized by spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. Four (6a, 6b, 6d and 6f) out of 20 synthesized molecules in this class showed good inhibition against three different sources of xanthine oxidase, which were more potent than allopurinol based on their respective IC50 values.
