Design, synthesis, antimicrobial and cytotoxicity study on human colorectal carcinoma cell line of new 4,4'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(pyrimidin-2-amine) derivatives.

The biological study demonstrated that compounds s7, s8, s11, s14, s16, s17 and s18 have shown more promising antimicrobial activity with best MIC values than the cefadroxil (antibacterial) and fluconazole (antifungal) and compound s3 found to have better anticancer activity against human colorectal carcinoma (HCT116) cancer cell line.
