Synthesis, chemical and pharmacological properties of some 2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydropyrimido [4,5-d]pyrimidines.

Synthesis of 6-substituted 2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydropyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidines [III-VI] obtained by cyclocondensation of 1-phenyl-6-aminouracil with formaline and the primary amines is described. Compounds III, V, VI in the Mannich reaction with secondary cyclic amines yield the corresponding 3-substituted N-aminomethyl derivatives VII-X. Some of them were active pharmacologically.
