A zinc oxide catalyzed solvent-free mechanochemical process has been developed for the rapid construction of C-S bonds by using a nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN2 mechanism) that involves a variety of thiols and phenacyl/ benzyl/alkyl bromides. Notable advantages of this method in-clude its broad substrate scope, clean reaction profile, safety, scalability, high product yields at ambient conditions, and the recyclability of the catalyst. Furthermore, the prepared compounds are valuable building blocks for the synthesis of various biologically active molecules.

Oxadiazoles and thiadiazoles 1-37 were synthesized and evaluated for the first time for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. As a result, fifteen of them 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 23, 25, 30, 32, 33, 35, 36 and 37 were identified as potent inhibitors of the enzyme. Kinetic studies of the most active compounds (oxadiazoles 1, 23 and 25, and thiadiazoles 35 and 37) were carried out to determine their mode of inhibition and dissociation constants Ki. The most potent compound of the oxadiazole series (compound 23) was found to be a non-competitive inhibitor (Ki= 4.36 ± 0.017 μM), while most potent thiadiazole 35 was identified as a competitive inhibitor (Ki= 6.0 ± 0.059 μM). The selectivity and toxicity of these compounds were also studied by evaluating their potential against other enzymes, such as carbonic anhydrase-II and phosphodiesterase-I. Cytotoxicity was evaluated against rat fibroblast 3T3 cell line. Interestingly, these compounds were found to be inactive against other enzymes, exhibiting their selectivity towards α-glucosidase. Inhibition of α-glucosidase is an effective strategy for controlling post-prandial hyperglycemia in diabetic patients. α-Glucosidase inhibitors can also be used as anti-obesity and anti-viral drugs. Our study identifies two novel series of potent α-glucosidase inhibitors for further investigation.
