New 2-methyl-5-(4-oxo-2-(substituted phenyl)thiazolidin-3-yl)thieno[3,4-d]-pyrimidin-4-one, 5-(2,7-diphenyl-5-thioxo-5,6,7,7a-tetrahydrothiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-3(2H)-yl)-2-methylthieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one, and 2-methyl-5-(5-phenyl-thiazolo[5,4-d]isoxazol-6(5H)-yl)thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one have been prepared under microwave-assisted and conventional conditions. The new compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against two gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis NCIM-2063 and Staphylococcus aureus NCIM-2901), one gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli NCIM-2256), and three fungal strains (Candida albicans NCIM-3471, Aspergillus flavus NCIM-539, and Aspergillus niger NCIM-1196) and showed promising biological activity.

Keywords: 4-thiazolidinone derivatives, microwave-assisted synthesis, antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity.
