and maintained at 37 °C for 3–4 days. Antifungal
activity was determined by measuring the diameter
of the inhibition zone.The fungicidal inhibitory (mm)
values of the tested compounds against the tested
fungal species are recorded in Table- 2.

and are uncorrected. The homogeneity of all the
newly synthesized compounds were routinely
checked byTLC on silica gel G plates and spots were
located by using iodine chamber.Elemental analysis
was performed in Heraeus CHN rapid analyser.The
results were found within the 0.4% of theoretical
values.Infrared spectra were recorded on Kbr pellets
on a Perkin Elmer system 2000 FTIR spectrometer
and 1H- NMR spectra on bruker DPX 200 usingTMS
as internal standard.
Insecticidal activity
Periplaneta americana was taken for
insecticidal study and 1 and 2% solutions of the
derivatives 3 and 4a-f were injected in the abdominal
of P. americana with the help of micro syringe.
The time of death had been noted as KD (Knock
promising to moderate activity) value.Cypermethrin
was used as standard drug. At the time of death the
antennae of P. americana became motionless, the
appendages shrunk and folded towards the ventral
side and cockroach lay dorsally34 (Table- 3).
Synthesis
Synthesis of 2-(1,3,4-thiadiazino (6, 5-b)indole-
2´-yl)aminoacetic acid (1)
A mixture of 2-amino-1, 3, 4-thiadiazino
(6, 5-b) indole (0.01 mol), chloroacetic acid (0.01
mol) and anhydrous K2CO3 (5.0 gm) in methanol
(dry, 80 ml) were refluxed for about 18 h on a water
bath. On completion of the reaction, the excess of
solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. At
0-5 °C, 40% hydrochloric acid (0.01 mol) added to
residue and a solution of sodium nitrite (0.01 mol) in
water (25 ml) was added drop wise during 30 min.
The reaction was allowed to stand overnight. Crude
reaction mixture was filtered, washed thoroughly
with ice cold water and dried in air. The solid thus
obtained was recrystallised with ethanol- water to
obtain compound 1:yield 68%, m.p.160 °C.IR (Kbr)

Anthelmintic activity
Indian adult earthworms (Pheretima
posthuma) were collected from moist soil and
washed with normal saline to remove all faecal
matter and used for the anthelmintic activity. All the
synthesized derivatives 3 and 4a-f were dissolved
in minimum amount of DMF and the volume
adjusted to 10 ml with saline water. All solutions of
synthesized derivatives and drugs solutions were
freshly prepared. Groups of six earthworms were
released into desired formulations and the paralytic
and lethal time noted. Albendazole was used as
standard drug.Observations were made for the time
taken for paralysis and death of individual worms.
Paralysis was said to occur when the worms did not
receive even in normal saline. Death was concluded
when the worms lost their motility followed by fading
away of their body colour35-38 (Table- 4).
EXPERIMENTAL
Synthesis of 2-(Sydnon-3´-yl)-1, 3, 4-thiadiazino
(6,5-b)indole (2)
All the chemicals used for the preparation
of desired derivatives, were obtained from Sisco
Research Laboratories (SRL), Mumbai, India;
Qualigen Fine Chemicals, Mumbai, India; E. Merck
Ltd., New Delhi, India.The reference drugs ampicillin
trihydrate,fluconazole,cypermethrinandalbendazole
were procured from Ind-Swift, Pharmaceutical,
Panjab; Savorite Pharmaceuticals, Gujarat; Royal
Crop Science, Panipat, India. The melting points
of the compounds were determined in open glass
capillaries with the help of thermonic melting points
Compound 1 was heated with acetic
anhydride (1:5 by weight) on a water bath for 3 h.
The reaction mixture was poured over crushed ice
and recrystallised with ethanol to get compound 2:
