Abstract
OBJECTIVE 5-Amino-2-alkyl/glycosylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazoles have been synthesized by the reaction of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol with a variety of alkylating agents or glycosyl halides in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate in dry acetone. METHODS The structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been established based on their spectral data (FT-IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR) and mass spectrometry. They were tested for their antioxidant behaviour by the use of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method. The in silico pharmacokinetics ADME properties of the potent antioxidant compounds were investigated by using Accelrys Discovery Studio (DS) 2.5 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Regioselective alkylation and glycosylation of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol were noticed during its reaction with alkylating agents and glycosyl halides. Alkylating agents gave the Sfunctionalized derivatives, while the acetylated glycosyl halides afforded the S-glycosylated products together with their respective N-acetyl derivatives. The benzoylated glycosyl halide behaved in a different manner and gave N-glycoside analogue of 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2(3H)-thione, in addition to the expected sulfanyl S-glycoside. Most of the synthesized compounds showed noticeable antioxidant activity with respect to ceftriaxone as a standard drug. Some of the most active compounds showed acceptable predicted pharmacokinetics and druglikeness properties.
