Abstract The basic nucleus 4-amino-5-[4-(methylsulfonyl)benzyl]-2,4-dihydro-3H-[1,2,4]-triazole-3-thione was prepared by cyclisation of potassium dithiocarbazinate with hydrazine hydrate using ethanol as solvent under reflux condition. The compound which has been synthesized successfully was subjected to addition reaction with different aldehydes to synthesize Schiff bases. The compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR, and Mass). In order to ascertain the pharmaceutical application, the selective pharmacological screening of the derivatives was carried out according to the standard procedures. The compounds were screened for their cytotoxic activity and antimicrobial activity.

considerable attention owing to their synthetic and effective biological importance. [1,2,4]-Triazole moieties have been incorporated into variety of therapeutically interesting drug candidates including antiviral (Ribavirin), anti migraine (Rizatriptan), antifungal (Flucanazole), and antianxiety compounds (Alprazolam). Moreover, sulfur containing heterocyclic compounds represent an important group of compounds that are promising on practical application (Holla et al., 2003; Wu et al., 2007). The pharmacological importance of heterocycles derived from [1,2,4]-triazole paved the way toward active research in a triazole chemistry. As a result, variety of new compounds was being added to this field every year. A number of attempts were made to improve the activity of the compounds by varying the substituents on the triazole nucleus (Ragenovic et al., 2001; Mathew et al., 2007; Banachiewicz et al., 2004). Among these, the mercapto and amino group substituted [1,2,4]-triazole ring system have been reported for antituberculosis (Patole et al., 2006; Hearn and Cynamon, 2004), anticancer (Ren et al., 2002; Kuzmin et al., 2005), analgesic and anti-inflammatory (Ronad et al., 2008; Bhandari et al., 2008), anticonvulsant (Verma e
