  Fluorine substituted 4-thiazolidinone 
  <b>5</b> bearing 1,2,4-triazinone obtained from the condensation of 3-Amino-6(2’-aminophenyl)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one (
  <b>2</b>) with an aromatic aldehyde followed by cycloaddition with mercaptoacetic acid afforded the thiazolidinone (
  <b>4</b>), and treatment with ethyl trifluoroacetate. Structure of the products has been deduced from their correct elemental analysis and spectral measurements. The antifungal activity of the new fluorinated target also has been evaluated.

Antifungal Evaluation</title><p>Firstly, in vitro, the newly prepared compounds were assayed against the growth of some phytopathogenic fungi associated with what grains, i.e. Fusarium moniliforme. The assay performed by incorporating the tested compounds with nutrient agar at different concentration. The compounds dissolved in DMF and distilled water. The poisoned media were poured into sterile Petri-dishes and allowed to solidify. Each dish inoculated with a 4 mm diameter disk of inoculum removed from a 7 day old culture of the tested pathogens. Other media supplemented with DMF serving as a control.

From the result obtained show that compounds 5 and 4 are the most effective against the tested fungi. A higher effect of these compounds is may be due to containing fluorine atoms and/or 4-thiazolidinone moiety (<xref ref-type="table" rid="table1">Table 1</xref>).</p><p>Secondly, in vivo, the compound 5 has highest protecting activity on the grains (Tritium aestivum C.V Giza lss) of wheat against the fungal infection and increases the wheat germination compared with untreated grains.
