Chemistry, synthesis and progress report on biological activities of thiadiazole compounds - a review

Abstract

Thiadiazoles are an important class of heterocyclic compounds that exhibit diverse applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical and biological applications. They are also useful as oxidation inhibitors, cyanine dyes, metal chelating agents, anti-corrosion agents. Researchers across the globe are working on this moiety due to their broad spectrum of applications of thiadiazole chemistry. This article provides information about developments, exploration, synthetic strategies, techniques for the synthesis of thiadiazoles and their diverse biological activities, structure-activity relationship of the compounds and physical properties. This article is an important tool for organic and medicinal chemists to develop newer thiadiazole compounds that could be better agents in terms of efficacy and safety.
