MICROWAVE ASSISTED SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF NEWLY SYNTHESIZED 1, 3, 4-THIADIAZOLE DERIVATIVE OF GUAR GUM

A new derivative of Guar gum, incorporated with 1, 3, 4-thiadiazole nucleus was synthesized by using a new green and efficient synthetic approach. Guar gum is a biodegradable polymer having numerous applications in various industries. Thiadiazole compounds are well known in the therapeutic world due to their pharmacological importance. The newly synthesized derivative was characterized by IR, H¹ NMR, and mass spectrometry. Its antioxidant activity was determined by hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity. Its antimicrobial activity was also studied.
