Virucidal test aqainst HIV:

In RPMI1640 culture medium containing 20 mM HEPES buffer solution, 10% bovine fetus serum, and 20 .mu.g/mL gentamycin, 3.times.10.sup.4 cells of MT-4 (which will be killed by infection with HIV) were infected with HIV at a rate of 0.02 HIV per cell. To the fractions of the culture, predetermined portions of a sample containing the thiadiazole derivative of the compound No. shown in Table 27 and 28 were added, and the culture fractions were incubated at 37.degree. C. After incubation for 5 days, living cells were measured by the MTT method to derive the compound concentration (EC.sub.50) which is effective to protects 50% of the MT-4 cells from death by HIV. Separately, the MT-4 cells were incubated in the same manner without infection by HIV, and the compound concentration (CC.sub.50) which causes death of 50% of the MT-4 cells. The ratio of CC.sub.50 /EC.sub.50 is the selectivity index (S.I.). The results are shown in Tables 27 and 28. ______________________________________ Compound   EC.sub.50     CC.sub.50 No.        (.mu.g/ml)    (.mu.g/ml) S.
