Studies on synthesis and pharmacological activities of 3,6-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and their dihydro analogues.

Several 3,6-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazole and their dihydro analogues were synthesized from hetero aromatic acids and hetero aromatic aldehydes, respectively, by microwave-assisted dry media and conventional methods. Elemental analysis, IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and mass spectral data elucidated the structures of all newly synthesized compounds. Synthesized compounds are studied for their antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Some of the tested compounds showed significant pharmacological activities.
