[3-Methylthio-, 3-(amino-substituted)ethylthio-, 3-carboxymethylthio-, 3,3'-(dithiobis)-5-aryl-4H(R)-1,2,4-triazoles and 2-aminomethyl-N-substituted derivatives of 5-aryl-4H(R)-1,2,4-triazolin-3-thione: synthesis and biological activity].

Following previous research which showed the antibacterial and antimycotic activity of triazolin-3-thiones (II), a series of compounds has been prepared and tested to correlate and clarify the structure-activity relationships. The compounds were of the type represented in (II) where (R = H, CH3 or C6H5) and were in detail: 3-methylthiotriazoles (III-VIII), 3-(amino-substituted)ethylthiotriazolines (IX-XXVI), 3-carboxymethylthiotriazolines (XXVII-XXX), 3,3'dithiobistriazolines (XXXI-XXXVI) and 2-amino-methyl-N-substituted triazolin-3-thiones (XLVIII-LXVI). The 2-aminooxadiazoles (XXXVII-XLII), obtained in place of the expected 1-aroyl-S-methylisothiosemicarbazides (II a) from the reaction between thiosemicarbazides (I) (R = H; CH3, C6H5) and methyl iodide, are also described.
