abstract = "A new route to 5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazole derivatives via reaction of N-chloroamidines with isothiocyanates has been proposed. The advantages of this method are high product yields (up to 93%), the column chromatography-free workup procedure, scalability and the absence of additive oxidizing agents or transition metal catalysts. The 28 examples of 5-amino-1,2,4thiadiazole derivatives obtaining via the proposing protocol were evaluated in vitro against ESKAPE pathogens strains (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae). It was found that compounds 5ba, 5bd, 6a, 6d and 6c have potent antibacterial activity (MIC values 0.09–1.5 μg mL−1), which is superior to the activity of commercial antibiotics such as pefloxacin (MIC 4–8 μg mL−1) and streptomycin (MIC 2–32 μg mL−1). The additional cytotoxic assay of hit compounds on PANC-1 cell line demonstrated the low or non-cytotoxicity activity at the same level of concentrations. Thus, these 5 compounds are promising starting point for further antimicrobial drug development.",
