By the reaction of 4-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol with ethyl bromoacetate, ethyl [(4-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)sulfanyl]acetate (1) was obtained. This compound was converted to [(4-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)sulfanyl]acetohydrazide (2). In the reaction of 2 with isothiocyanates, new thiosemicarbazides 3a-3g were obtained. The cyclization of 3a-3g in 2% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide led to the formation of 4H-1,2,4-triazole-3(2H)-thione derivatives 4a-4g, whereas the cyclization in acid media led to the formation of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives 5a-5g. Molecular structure was confirmed by X-ray structure analysis of 3a, 4g, 5a and 5g. Compounds 4a, 4b and 4g were investigated pharmacologically to determine their effect on the central nervous system (CNS) in mice.
By the reaction of 2-methyl-furan-3-carboxylic acid hydrazide with isothiocyanates, 1-[(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)carbonyl]-4-substituted thiosemicarbazides 1 were obtained. Further cyclization with 2% NaOH led to the formation of 3-(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)-4-substituted-Δ 2 -1,2,4-triazoline-5-thiones 2. The pharmacological effects of 2 on the central nervous system in mice were investigated. Strong antinociceptive properties of the investigated derivatives were observed in a wide range of doses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
