Cover Story: The 1,3,4-thiadiazole scaffold has emerged as a privileged structure in medicinal chemistry due to its unique electronic features, balanced physicochemical properties, and broad pharmacological potential. Its ability to modulate enzymes, interact with receptors, and disrupt microbial pathways underlies diverse antibacterial and antifungal effects. In recent years, numerous 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated, demonstrating high levels of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as a wide range of fungal species. This review highlights recent advances in the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of such compounds. View this paper
