Design and synthesis of novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole thioglycosides as promising antimicrobial potent structures.

Thiosemicarbazide was used as a key starting material for the building of a diversity of novel heterocyclic moieties. The heterocyclization reaction of thiosemicarbazide derivatives with carbon disulfide in basic conditions afforded novel heterocyclic 1,3,4-thiadiazolethiolate derivatives. 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol was successfully reacted with protected α-D-gluco- and galacto-pyranosyl bromides in dimethylformamide at room temperature to give the matching 1,3,4-thiadiazole S-glycosides in good yields. The latter compounds were reacted with ammonia-methanol at room temperature for 10 min, and the deprotected derivatives were obtained in good yields. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by basic analyses and spectral information (IR,1H NMR, and 13C NMR, X-ray). All newly produced compounds were evaluated and screened for their antibacterial activities. Compound 6f proved to be the most active antimicrobial among the investigated heterocycles.
