Helicobacter pylori is a major human pathogen that causes gastric and extra-gastric complications and infects around 50% of the global population. Gastric cancer is a serious consequence of H. pylori infection. About 89% of all gastric cancers can be attributed to this pathogen. Treatment is indicated for all infected patients, as a strategy to knock down the risk of gastric malignancy. Due to the high level of antimicrobial resistance, new medicines are needed to treat H. pylori infection. This paper presents 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives which exhibited anti-H. pylori effect. Some of the reported compounds showed higher activity compared to standard drugs, making the 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole core a possible pattern for future anti-H. pylori agents.
