Synthetic Methods, Chemistry, and the Anticonvulsant Activity of Thiadiazoles

الملخص EN

The chemistry of heterocyclic compounds has been an interesting field of study for a long time.

Heterocyclic nucleus 1,3,4-thiadiazole constitutes an important class of compounds for new drug development.

The synthesis of novel thiadiazole derivatives and investigation of their chemical and biological behavior have gained more importance in recent decades.

The search for antiepileptic compounds with more selective activity and lower toxicity continues to be an active area of intensive investigation in medicinal chemistry.

During the recent years, there has been intense investigation of different classes of thiadiazole compounds, many of which possess extensive pharmacological activities, namely, antimicrobial activity, anticonvulsant, antifungal antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antituberculosis activities, and so forth.

The resistance towards available drugs is rapidly becoming a major worldwide problem.

The need to design new compounds to deal with this resistance has become one of the most important areas of research today.

Thiadiazole is a versatile moiety that exhibits a wide variety of biological activities.

Thiadiazole moiety acts as “hydrogen binding domain” and “two-electron donor system.” It also acts as a constrained pharmacophore.

On the basis of the reported literature, we study here thiadiazole compounds and their synthetic methods chemistry and anticonvulsant activity.
