A series of 1-amino-5-substituted uracils and their 4-thio or 2,4-dithio substituted analogues were synthesized and assayed for anti-conflict activity in rats and anesthetic activity in mice. 1-Amino-5-halogenouracils 3b-e, 1-amino-4-thiouracil (9a), and 1-amino-5-halogeno-4-thiouracils 9c, d showed both anti-conflict and anesthetic activities. The most active compound was 1-amino-5-chloro-4-thiouracil
