Novel synthesized pyrimidine derivatives were investigated against carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I and II (hCA I and II), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), alpha-glycosidase, and aldose reductase (AR) enzymes associated with some common diseases such as epilepsy, glaucoma, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and neuropathy. When the results were examined, novel synthesized pyrimidine derivatives were found to have effective inhibition abilities toward the metabolic enzymes. IC(50) values and K(i) values were calculated for each pyrimidine derivative and compared to positive controls. The synthesized novel pyrimidine derivatives exhibited K(i) values in the range of 39.16 +/- 7.70-144.62 +/- 26.98 nM against hCA I, 18.21 +/- 3.66-136.35 +/- 21.48 nM toward hCA II, which is associated with different pathological and physiological processes, 33.15 +/- 4.85-52.98 +/- 19.86 nM on AChE, and 31.96 +/- 8.24-69.57 +/- 21.27 nM on BChE. Also, K(i) values were determined in the range of 17.37 +/- 1.11-253.88 +/- 39.91 nM against alpha-glycosidase and 648.82 +/- 53.74-1902.58 +/- 98.90 nM toward AR enzymes. Within the scope of the study, the inhibition types of the novel synthesized pyrimidine derivatives were evaluated.
