Abstract
Novel steroidal (6R)‐spiro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazoline derivatives were synthesized by the cyclization of steroidal thiosemicarbazones with acetic anhydride, screened in vitro against antibacterial activity using disc‐diffusion method and the minimum inhibitory concentration. The results showed that steroidal thiadiazoline derivatives exhibited better antibacterial activity than the steroidal thiosemicarbazone derivatives. Chloro and acetoxy substituents on the 3β‐position of the steroidal thiadiazoline ring increased the antibacterial activity. Among all the compounds, compound 7 and 8 were found better inhibitors of both types of bacteria (Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative) as compared to the respective drug amoxicillin. All the synthesized compounds were well characterized by spectroscopic methods such as IR, 1H‐NMR, 13C‐NMR mass, and elemental analysis and their stereochemistry was also discussed.
