- Identification of the Highly Active, Species Cross-Reactive Complex I Inhibitor BAY-179
-
Mitochondria are key regulators of energy supply and cell death. Generation of ATP within mitochondria occurs through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), a process which utilizes the four complexes (complex I-IV) of the electron transport chain and ATP synthase. Certain oncogenic mutations (e.g., LKB1 or mIDH) can further enhance the reliance of cancer cells on OXPHOS for their energetic requirements, rendering cells sensitive to complex I inhibition and highlighting the potential value of complex I as a therapeutic target. Herein, we describe the discovery of a potent, selective, and species cross-reactive complex I inhibitor. A high-throughput screen of the Bayer compound library followed by hit triaging and initial hit-to-lead activities led to a lead structure which was further optimized in a comprehensive lead optimization campaign. Focusing on balancing potency and metabolic stability, this program resulted in the identification of BAY-179, an excellent in vivo suitable tool with which to probe the biological relevance of complex I inhibition in cancer indications.

- Propylene oxide assisted one-pot, tandem synthesis of substituted-1,3,4- oxadiazole-2(3H)-ones in water
-
It has been developed for the synthesis of substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole- 2(3H)-one derivatives via a novel one-pot, tandem procedure assisted by propylene oxide. The 5-substitued-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-ones and 3,5-disubstitued-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-ones were, respectively, obtained from three-component reaction of acylhydrazines, carbon disulfide, and propylene oxide, and four-component reaction of acylhydarazines, carbon disulfide, propylene oxide, and organic halides. The reactions were carried out using water as solvent in the presence of potassium phosphate to afford the expected products in good to excellent yields.

- Antimycobacterial activity of new 3,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives. Molecular modeling investigations
-
3H-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-one derivatives were synthesized and tested for their in vitro antimycobacterial activity. Oxadiazolone derivatives showed an interesting antimycobacterial activity against the reference strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Molecular modeling investigations were performed and showed that the active compounds possess all necessary features to target the protein active site of the mycobacterial cytochrome P450-dependent sterol 14α-demethylase in the sterol biosynthesis pathway as the calculated free energy of binding were in agreement with the corresponding MIC values.

- Efficient phosphonium-mediated synthesis of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles
-
We present an efficient, room temperature procedure for the preparation of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. Oxadiazol-2-ones can be activated for SnAr substitution using phosphonium reagents (e.g., BOP). This approach provides convenient access to N,

- 1,3,4-Oxadiazolin-2-ones from Carbo-t-butoxyhydrazones
-
5-Substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-2-ones 2 were synthesized by the oxidation of carbo-t-butoxyhydrazones 1 of aromatic aldehydes with lead tetraacetate or, preferably, iodosobenzene diacetate.In some instances 5-acetoxy-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 3 were obtained along with 2.The oxidation of carboethoxyhydrazones 4 gave 2-ethoxy-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 5.
