Cytotoxic Properties of 1,3,4-Thiadiazole Derivatives-A Review

Molecules. 2020 Sep 20;25(18):4309. doi: 10.3390/molecules25184309.

Abstract

During recent years, small molecules containing five-member heterocyclic moieties have become the subject of considerable growing interest for designing new antitumor agents. One of them is 1,3,4-thiadiazole. This study is an attempt to collect the 1,3,4-thiadiazole and its derivatives, which can be considered as potential anticancer agents, reported in the literature in the last ten years.

Keywords: anticancer activity; cytotoxicity; thiadiazole.
