title: Synthesis and pharmacological activity of imidazo [2,1-b] thiazole nitriles, amides and p-sulfamidophenylhydrazones.
abstract: The synthesis of three series of new imidazo [2,1-b] thiazoles (nitriles 1-7, amides 8-14 and p-sulfamidophenylhydrazones 15-24) is reported. Among the compounds tested, only 12 showed a borderline diuretic activity. Compounds 15-24, possible prodrugs of sulfanilamide, were devoid of antibacterial activity.
