“…Within the framework of our interest in the synthesis of novel potential antimetablites of nucleic acid components which would possess cytostatic and/or antiviral activity, we have synthesized acylonuclesides (Parkanyi et al, 1989). Derivatives of 5-amino-2H-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-one have recently arrested the attention on the antibacterial activity, potential carcinogenicity, and kinase inhibitor activity (Piskala et al, 2004;Castro et al, 2008). The title compound, 1-benzoyl-2-thiobiuret (I), is an intermediate for the formation of the thiobiuret which is a starting material to produce 5-amino-2H-1,2,4-thiadizolin-3-one via oxidative ring closure reaction.…”
