New 1,3,4-thiadiazole, 6, 7 and 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, 8, 9 containing a phenylalanine moiety have been synthesized by intramolecular cyclization of 1,4-disubstituted thiosemicarbazides, 4, 5, in acid and alkaline media, respectively; the thiosemicarbazides were obtained by reaction of hydrazide 3 with appropriate aromatic isothiocyanates. The toxicity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated and the anti-inflammatory study of the triazole compound 9 established an appreciable anti-inflammatory activity that is comparable with that of other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents.

New 1,3,4-thiadiazole, 5a-e, and 1,2,4-triazolecompounds 6a-c, containing a D,L-methionine moiety were synthesized by intramolecular cyclization of 1,4-disubstituted thiosemicarbazides 4a-e in acid and alkaline media, respectively. The potential antimicrobial effects of the synthesized compounds were investigated using the Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus antracis ATCC 8705, Bacillus cereus ATCC 10987, Sarcina lutea ATCC 9341 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 strains. The newly synthesized compounds exhibited promising activities against Bacillus antracis and Bacillus cereus.

The synthesis of new derivatives of 1,3,4‐thiadiazoles and 1,2,4‐triazoles was achieved using the 1,4‐disubstituted thiosemicarbazides as intermediaries.

New polyanionic polymer conjugates with antitumoral activity are synthesized by chemically binding mustard type alkylating derivatives of di-(-chloroethyl)-amine and tri-(-chloroethyl)-amine, respectively, onto poly(maleic anhydride-alt-vinyl acetate). The structures of the compounds are verified by FTIR, 1 H NMR, and elemental analysis. The antitumoral activity of these polymeric drugs is evaluated in vivo using carcinosarcoma Walker 256 solid tumors in Wister rats. The conjugates exhibit antitumor regression (ATR)
