Thiadiazoles have attracted significant interest in medicinal chemistry and many fields of technology. Some of the technological applications involve dyes, lubricating compositions, optically active liquid crystals, and photographic materials. In medicinal field, one of the best-known drugs based on 1,3,4-thiadiazole is the acetazolamide (Acetazola), which is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor launched in 1954.

Ferreira et al. [75] synthesized a HMA for medical use. Urethanes based on polycaprolactone diol (PCL) were synthesized by reaction of the molecule either with isophorone diisocyanate (IPD-isocyanate) or hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI-isocyanate). Nies Berthold et al. [76] tried out an adhesive composition based on polymers or polymer blends consisting of caprolactone copolymers or caprolactone copolymers and polycaprolactone. The adhesive can be utilized as HMA for temporarily gluing together biological tissue and other materials in medicine.
