1-Methyl-2,4,5-trinitro imidazole (MTNI) is a well-known melt cast explosive possessing good thermal stability and impact insensitivity. MTNI has been synthesized from multi-step nitration followed by methylation of imidazole exhibiting low yield. It is desirable to screen the process thermodynamically for

A series of 5-nitroimidazole-based 1,3,4-thiadiazoles were prepared and tested for antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori. The anti-H. pylori activity of target compounds along with the commercially available antimicrobial metronidazole was evaluated by comparing the inhibition-zone diameters determined by the paper
