This book contains four selected chapters on pyrimidines and their importance. The first chapter examines the synthesis, physico-chemical properties, and anti-fungal activity of new hybrids of thiazolo[4,5-D] pyrimidines with (1H-1,2, 4) triazole. The second chapter reviews pyrimidine ring containing natural products and their biological importance. The third chapter examines the regulation of the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway in the bacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis.
