Synthesis, characterization and biological activity of 1, 3-thiazolidin-4-one derivatives of 2-mercapto-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole
Abstract
As a part of systematic investigation of synthesis and biological activity of several new 2-[2-
(Substituedbenzyliden)hydrazinoacetyl]-mercapto-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole, 3(a-n), 2-[2-{2-
(substitutedphenyl)-4-oxo-1,3-thiazolidin}–acetylimino]-mercapto-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadizole, 4(a-n) and 2-[2-
{2-(Substitutedphenyl)-4-oxo-5-(substitutedaryliden)-1,3-thiazolidin}-acetylimino]-mercapto-5-methyl-1,3,4-
thiadiazole, 5(a-n) have been synthesized from 2-(2-hydrazinoacetyl)-mercapto-5-methyl-1,3,4-
thiadiazole, 2 using 2-mercapto-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole as the starting material. All the synthesized
products were evaluated for their and antibacterial activity against B. substilis, E. coli. K. pneumoniae
and S. aureus bacteria and antifungal activity against A. niger, A. flavus, F. oxisporium and T. viride fungi
respectively. The structures of all the synthesized compounds have been determined by their spectral and
microanalytical data.
