Recent trends in the synthesis of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles

Abstract 1,2,3-Thiadiazoles, structurally active pharmacophores have attracted significant attention of synthetic chemists, medicinal and pharmaceutical researchers because of their versatile biological activities against various diseases such as herbicidal, insecticidal, antiviral, antitumor, antimicrobial, anticancer, plants activator and anti-amoebic activities. A literature survey of the last decade presented in this review article summarizes the major synthetic approaches, methodologies and strategies adopted for the synthesis of 1,2,3-thiadiazole scaffolds which will be help for medicinal chemists and pharmacists in future synthesis and development of novel therapeutic agents.
