Synthesis of a new class of 1, 3-thiazolidine nucleoside analogs is described. Reaction of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose hydrochloride 2 with carbon disulfide yielded 5-hydroxy-4-(D-arabino-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroxybutyl)-thiazolidin-2-thione 3, which on acetylation yielded 5-acetoxy-4-(D-arabino-1, 2, 3, 4-tetraacetoxy-butyl)-thiazolidin-2-thione 4. The acetylated sugar 4 reacted with hydrazonoyl chlorides 1a-f, affording the 5-acetoxy-4-(D-arabino-1, 2, 3, 4-tetraacetoxybutyl)-spiro-[1,3]thiazolidine-2,2 -[1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives 8a-f. The antibacterial activity of the novel 1, 3-thiazolidine-2,2 -spiro-[1,3,4]thiadiazole nucleoside analogs is highlighted. All compounds with free NH group in the thiazolidine series 8a-f showed significant biological activity against all the standard strains.
