Abstract- One important class of pyrimidine is pyrimidinethione, which is also well known as mercapto or H thioxopyrimidine compounds.

medicinal chemistry for their therapeutic Y applications. One possible reason for their activity P O 7 is the presence of a pyrimidine base in thymine, O cytosine and uracil, which are essential building blocks of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA.
