“…1,3,4-Thiadiazoles are thus a group of heterocycles whose derivatives are important in industry, medicine and agriculture [ 13 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Accordingly, in continuation of our work in this area [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ], a variety of heterocyclic derivatives have been prepared from saccharide derivatives, involving some new thiadiazoles, oxathiadiazoles, and their chemistry and effect of the derivatives on the enzyme tyrosinase was studied [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ], which is the rate limiting step in melanin biosynthesis [ 32 ]. In humans, the main role of the melanins is photoprotection of the skin by absorbing UV radiation that causes DNA damage and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).…”
