exhibited antimicrobial activity. The thiopyrimidine-4-one (5c) showed complete inhibition against Streptococcus pyogenes and Branhamella catarrhalis as well as antifungal action against Candida albicans. Significantly, the 1-adamantylthiopyrimidine (5e) was shown to be the most potent cytotoxic compound against multidrug-resistant small cell lung cancer (H69AR). Their structure–activity relationships were
