Synthesis, Antiviral, and Antimicrobial Activity of 1,2,4-Triazole Thioglycoside Derivatives

The reaction of 5-(2-methylthio)phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol with glucosyl, galactosyl, lactosyl bromide, and peracetylated ribose under the conventional and microwave irradiation methods afforded the corresponding S-glycosides. Deacetylation of S-glycosides gave the corresponding deacetylated derivatives. Reaction of 5-(2-methylthio)phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol with 4-acetoxybutyl bromide, 2-acetoxyethoxymethyl bromide, 3-chloropropanol, 1,3-dichloroopropan-2-ol, epichlorohydrin, allyl bromide, and propargayl bromide gave the corresponding S-acyclonucleosides, which were deacetylated to give the corresponding deacetylated compounds. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by the IR, H-1, C-13 NMR, and elemental analyses. Some of these compounds were screened for their antiviral and antimicrobial activity.
