Synthesis Of Emodin Amide Derivatives Containing 1,3,4-Thiadiazole And Their Inhibitory Activity On Vibrio Harveyi

A series of new 1,3,4-thiadiazole Emodin amide derivatives were synthesized through the connection of 5-substituted-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-amine and Emodin carboxylic acids which were obtained by a two-step procedure starting from Emodin. Vibrio harveyi inhibition activities of the newly prepared compounds were evaluated. Results revealed that all compounds showed different degrees of inhibition on V. harveyi. Among them, compound 7a showed the best V. harveyi inhibition effect and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 0.0625 mg/mL.
