In this study, a novel series of 2,6-disubstituted and 2,5,6trisubstituted imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized starting from 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives. Structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized using various analysis techniques. Then, in vitro biological activity tests were carried out for all synthesized compounds and they were found to show moderate to good activity against all bacteria and fungi tested. Next, molecular docking simulations were performed to observe the inhibition effect of the synthesized compounds on the 3R9C receptor and support their biological activity results. Finally, the pharmacokinetic, ADME and toxicity properties of all compounds were examined using FAF-Drugs and ProTox webservers and it was concluded that they had acceptable toxicity and ADME properties.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of essential plant oils from Vitex agnus-castus L. ), and plant essential oils were applied at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 5 and 10 (μL/Petri -1 ) into the 5 mm diameter wells opened on the Petri dish surface. After that, the Petri dishes incubated at 22±2 °C. The results of this study, the essential oil of M. communis, at a dose of 10 μL/ Petri, inhibited the 100% mycelium growth of V. dahliae, S. sclerotiorum and R. solani. The highest dose of VAC essential oil was also 100% inhibited V. dahliae and S. sclerotiorum. The LC 50 and LC 90 values of M. communis and VAC essential oil calculated for V. dahliae, FORL, S. sclerotiorum and R. solani. This plant extracts were shown by in vitro conditions to be potential antifungal agents.

In this study, thioether-bridged imidazo [2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives that contained both imidazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole (compounds 7a-7i and 8a-8i) were synthesized from the reactions of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole with phenacyl bromide (6a-6i) (at yields of 59% to 74%). The structure of the synthesized compounds was characterized using 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, mass spectroscopy, and Xray diffraction analysis. Mycelial growth, mycelial growth inhibition, minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum fungicidal concentration, and lethal dose values against various plant pathogenic fungi were determined for all of the target compounds synthesized in the study. The test results showed that most of the compounds had moderate to good antifungal activity. In addition, the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) parameters of the compounds were calculated, and it was observed that all of the compounds met the drug-likeness rules in general. Finally, using docking simulations, it was found that compounds 7h, 7i, 8h, and 8i showed high affinity to PDB ID:5TZ1, which is an CYP51 antifungal target structure.

In this study, thiazole derivatives containing Schiff bases (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f, 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 8e, 8f, 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e, 9f) were synthesized in moderate to high yields (49–94%) using the Hantzsch reaction with thiosemicarbazone derivatives (5a, 5b, 5c) and 2‐bromo‐1‐phenylethanone derivatives (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e, 6f). The structures of synthesized compounds were elucidated by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analyses, mass spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction analysis techniques. Moreover, the synthesized compounds were tested for their in vitro antifungal activity and most of them exhibited moderate to good activity against Fusariumoxysporumf.sp. lycopersici.
