title: Synthesis and antimicrobial activities of N4-(2-acetoxyethoxymethyl)thiosemicarbazones and N3-(2-acetoxyethoxymethyl)thioureas.
abstract: A series of thiosemicarbazones and thioureas having an open-chain analogue of the ribosyl group, the 2-acetoxyethoxymethyl moiety, has been synthesized. Significant growth inhibitory activity versus gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, a yeast, and a mold has been found with the 2-acetoxyethoxymethyl derivatives of N-alkyl-, aryl-, and heteroaryl-thiosemicarbazones and thioureas. The molecules may function as inhibitors of ribonucleotide reductase or in utilization of the carbamyl group in pyrimidine biosynthesis.
