“…Through investigations presented, we have also joined the trend of research on the antibacterial properties of sulfonamides. In particular, the substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazoles have attracted considerable attention due to their wide-range biological activities, including anti-bacterial, anti-tuberculosis, anaesthetic, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, anti-convulsant, anti-hypertensive, antiulcer, anti-viral, anti-HIV-1 or anti-cancer activities [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] . Therefore, for the initial chemical studies, we synthesized a series of novel 2-benzylthio-N-(1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide derivatives and determined their anti-bacterial activity.…”
