Novel phenolic Mannich base derivatives: synthesis, bioactivity, molecular docking, and ADME-Tox Studies
In this study, it was aimed to synthesize novel molecules containing potential biological active phenolic Mannich base moiety and evaluate the inhibition properties against α-glycosidase (α-Gly) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). For this purpose, phenolic aldehydes (1–3) were synthesized from 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzaldehyde (vanillin) according to the Mannich Reaction. Five different carboxylic acid hydrazides (4a-e) were synthesized from esters obtained from carboxylic acids. Fifteen Schiff base derivatives (5a-e, 6a-e, and 7a-e) were synthesized from the condensation reaction of compounds 1–3 with 4a-e. In this work, a series of novel Schiff bases from Phenolic Mannich bases (5a-e, 6a-e, and 7a-e) were tested toward α-Gly and AChE enzymes. Compounds 5a-e, 6a-e, and 7a-e showed Kis in ranging of 341.36 ± 31.84–904.76 ± 93.56?nM on AChE and 176.27 ± 22.87—621.77 ± 69.98?nM on α-glycosidase. Finally, novel compounds were found using molecular docking method to calculate the biological activity of these bases against many enzymes. The enzymes used in these calculations are acetylcholinesterase and α-glycosidase, respectively. Molecule 6b is more effective and active than other molecules with a docking score parameter value of ? 8.77 against AChE enzyme and 6d is more effective and active than other molecules with a docking score parameter value of ? 4.94 against α-Gly enzyme. After calculating the biological activities of novel compounds, ADME/T analysis parameters were examined to calculate the future drug use properties.

Antibacterial and Antiviral Activities of 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Thioether 4H-Chromen-4-one Derivatives
Various 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether 4H-chromen-4-one derivatives were conceived. The title compounds demonstrated striking inhibitory effects againstXac,Psa, andXoo. EC50data exhibited that A8 (19.7 μg/mL) had better antibacterial activity againstXoothan myricetin, BT, and TC. Simultaneously, the mechanism of action of A8 had been verified by SEM. The results of anti-tobacco mosaic virus indicated that A9 had the bestin vivoantiviral effect compared with ningnanmycin. From the data of MST, it could be seen that A9 (0.003 ± 0.001 μmol/L) exhibited a strong binding capacity, which was far superior to ningnanmycin (2.726 ± 1.301 μmol/L). This study shows that the 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether 4H-chromen-4-one derivatives may become agricultural drugs with great potential.

Design, synthesis, in vitro and in vivo evaluation against MRSA and molecular docking studies of novel pleuromutilin derivatives bearing 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole linker
A class of pleuromutilin derivatives containing 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole were designed and synthesized as potential antibacterial agents against Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The ultrasound-assisted reaction was proposed as a green chemistry method to synthesize 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole derivatives (intermediates 85–110). Among these pleuromutilin derivatives, compound 133 was found to be the strongest antibacterial derivative against MRSA (MIC = 0.125 μg/mL). Furthermore, the result of the time-kill curves displayed that compound 133 could inhibit the growth of MRSA in vitro quickly (- 4.36 log10 CFU/mL reduction). Then, compound 133 (- 1.82 log10 CFU/mL) displayed superior in vivo antibacterial efficacy than tiamulin (- 0.82 log10 CFU/mL) in reducing MRSA load in mice thigh model. Besides, compound 133 exhibited low cytotoxicity to RAW 264.7 cells. Molecular docking studies revealed that compound 133 was successfully localized in the binding pocket of 50S ribosomal subunit (ΔGb = -10.50 kcal/mol). The results indicated that these pleuromutilin derivatives containing 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole might be further developed into novel antibiotics against MRSA.

Design, Synthesis, and Study of the Insecticidal Activity of Novel Steroidal 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles
A series of novel steroidal derivatives with a substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole structure was designed and synthesized, and the target compounds were evaluated for their insecticidal activity against five aphid species. Most of the tested compounds exhibited potent insecticidal activity against Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann), Myzus persicae, and Aphis citricola. Compounds 20g and 24g displayed the highest activity against E. lanigerum, showing LC50 values of 27.6 and 30.4 μg/mL, respectively. Ultrastructural changes in the midgut cells of E. lanigerum were detected by transmission electron microscopy, indicating that these steroidal oxazole derivatives might exert their insecticidal activity by destroying the mitochondria and nuclear membranes in insect midgut cells. Furthermore, a field trial showed that compound 20g exhibited effects similar to those of the positive controls chlorpyrifos and thiamethoxam against E. lanigerum, reaching a control rate of 89.5% at a dose of 200 μg/mL after 21 days. We also investigated the hydrolysis and metabolism of the target compounds in E. lanigerum by assaying the activities of three insecticide-detoxifying enzymes. Compound 20g at 50 μg/mL exhibited inhibitory action on carboxylesterase similar to the known inhibitor triphenyl phosphate. The above results demonstrate the potential of these steroidal oxazole derivatives to be developed as novel pesticides.

Synthesis, antifungal and antibacterial activity of calix[4]arene-based 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives
We describe the synthesis of some novel p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-based (5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)2-chloroethanethioate derivatives (4a–e). These compounds were synthesized by the reaction of tetra-tert-butyl calix[4]arene (1) with (5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)2-chloroethanethioate (3a–e) in the presence of potassium carbonate as a weak base and dry acetone as the solvent. All the newly synthesized calix[4]arene derivatives were characterized by elemental analysis and various spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, 1H NMR,13C NMR, DEPT, and ESI-MS. The synthesized compounds were tested in vitro for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against Escherichia coli and Aspergillus fumigates in comparison with enrofloxacin and amphotericin as reference drugs, which are normally used for treating such infections. The synthesized compounds showed different inhibition zones against the tested bacteria and fungi. Compound 4c was found to be most effective against A. fumigates, whereas compound 4e was found to be equally effective against E. coli and A. fumigates.

Structure based discovery of novel hexokinase 2 inhibitors
Hexokinase 2 (HK2) is over-expressed in most of human cancers and has been proved to be a promising target for cancer therapy. In this study, based on the structure of HK2, we screened over 6 millions of compounds to obtain the lead. A total of 26 (E)-N′-(2,3,4-trihydroxybenzylidene) arylhydrazide derivatives were then designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their HK2 enzyme activity and IC50 values against two cancer cell lines. Most of the 26 target compounds showed excellently in vitro activity. Among them, compound 3j showed the strongest inhibitory effects on HK2 enzyme activity with an IC50 of 0.53 ± 0.13 μM and exhibited the most potent growth inhibition against SW480 cells with an IC50 of 7.13 ± 1.12 μM, which deserves further studies.

Discovery of N-phenyl-(2,4-dihydroxypyrimidine-5-sulfonamido) phenylurea-based thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor as a novel multi-effects antitumor drugs with minimal toxicity
Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a hot target for tumor chemotherapy, and its inhibitors are an essential direction for anti-tumor drug research. To our knowledge, currently, there are no reported thymidylate synthase inhibitors that could inhibit cancer cell migration. Therefore, for optimal therapeutic purposes, combines our previous reports and findings, we hope to obtain a multi-effects inhibitor. This study according to the principle of flattening we designed and synthesized 18 of N-phenyl-(2,4-dihydroxypyrimidine-5-sulfonamido)phenyl urea derivatives as multi-effects inhibitors. The biological evaluation results showed that target compounds could significantly inhibit the hTS enzyme, BRaf kinase and EGFR kinase activity in vitro, and most of the compounds had excellent anti-cell viability for six cancer cell lines. Notably, the candidate compound L14e (IC50 = 0.67 μM) had the superior anti-cell viability and safety to A549 and H460 cells compared with pemetrexed. Further studies had shown that L14e could cause G1/S phase arrest then induce intrinsic apoptosis. Transwell, western blot, and tube formation results proved that L14e could inhibit the activation of the EGFR signaling pathway, then ultimately achieve the purpose of inhibiting cancer cell migration and angiogenesis in cancer tissues. Furthermore, in vivo pharmacology evaluations of L14e showed significant antitumor activity in A549 cells xenografts with minimal toxicity. All of these results demonstrated that the L14e has the potential for drug discovery as a multi-effects inhibitor and provides a new reference for clinical treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.

Design and optimization of N-acylhydrazone pyrimidine derivatives as E. coli PDHc E1 inhibitors: Structure-activity relationship analysis, biological evaluation and molecular docking study
By targeting the thiamin diphosphate (ThDP) binding site of Escherichia coli (E. coli) pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex E1 (PDHc E1), a series of novel ‘open-chain’ classes of ThDP analogs A, B, and C with N-acylhydrazone moieties was designed and synthesized to explore their activities against E. coli PHDc E1 in vitro and their inhibitory activity against microbial diseases were further evaluated in vivo. As a result, A1–23 exhibited moderate to potent inhibitory activities against E. coli PDHc E1 (IC50 = 0.15–23.55 μM). The potent inhibitors A13, A14, A15, C2, had strong inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 0.60, 0.15, 0.39 and 0.34 μM against E. coli PDHc E1 and with good enzyme-selective inhibition between microorganisms and mammals. Especially, the most powerful inhibitor A14 could 99.37% control Xanthimonas oryzae pv. Oryzae. Furthermore, the binding features of compound A14 within E. coli PDHc E1 were investigated to provide useful insights for the further construction of new inhibitor by molecular docking, site-directed mutagenesis, and enzymatic assays. The results indicated that A14 had most powerful inhibition against E. coli PDHc E1 due to the establishment of stronger interaction with Glu571, Met194, Glu522, Leu264 and Phe602 at active site of E.coli PDHc E1. It could be used as a lead compound for further optimization, and may have potential as a new microbicide.

Synthesis of novel 5-(aroylhydrazinocarbonyl)escitalopram as cholinesterase inhibitors
A novel series of 5-(aroylhydrazinocarbonyl)escitalopram (58–84) have been designed, synthesized and tested for their inhibitory potential against cholinesterases. 3-Chlorobenzoyl- (71) was found to be the most potent compound of this series having IC50 1.80 ± 0.11 μM for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition. For the butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition, 2-bromobenzoyl- (76) was the most active compound of the series with IC50 2.11 ± 0.31 μM. Structure-activity relationship illustrated that mild electron donating groups enhanced enzyme inhibition while electron withdrawing groups reduced the inhibition except o-NO2. However, size and position of the substituents affected enzyme inhibitions.. In docking study of AChE, the ligands 71, 72 and 76 showed the scores of 5874, 5756 and 5666 and ACE of ?64.92,-203.25 and ?140.29 kcal/mol, respectively. In case of BChE, ligands 71, 76 and 81 depicted high scores 6016, 6150 and 5994 with ACE values ?170.91, ?256.84 and ?235.97 kcal/mol, respectively.

Azolylthioacetamides as a potent scaffold for the development of metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors
In an effort to develop new inhibitors of metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs), twenty-eight azolylthioacetamides were synthesized and assayed against MβLs. The obtained benzimidazolyl and benzioxazolyl substituted 1–19 specifically inhibited the enzyme ImiS, and 10 was found to be the most potent inhibitor of ImiS with an IC50 value of 15 nM. The nitrobenzimidazolyl substituted 20–28 specifically inhibited NDM-1, with 27 being the most potent inhibitor with an IC50 value of 170 nM. Further studies with 10, 11, and 27 revealed a mixed inhibition mode with competitive and uncompetitive inhibition constants in a similar range as the IC50 values. These inhibitors resulted in a 2–4-fold decrease in imipenem MIC values using E. coli cells producing ImiS or NDM-1. While the source of uncompetitive (possibly allosteric) inhibition remains unclear, docking studies indicate that 10 and 11 may interact orthosterically with Zn2 in the active site of CphA, while 27 could bridge the two Zn(II) ions in the active site of NDM-1 via its nitro group.

Development of 3,5-Dinitrobenzylsulfanyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and Thiadiazoles as Selective Antitubercular Agents Active Against Replicating and Nonreplicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Herein, we report the discovery and structure-activity relationships of 5-substituted-2-[(3,5-dinitrobenzyl)sulfanyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles as a new class of antituberculosis agents. The majority of these compounds exhibited outstanding in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis CNCTC My 331/88 and six multidrug-resistant clinically isolated strains of M. tuberculosis, with minimum inhibitory concentration values as low as 0.03 μM (0.011-0.026 μg/mL). The investigated compounds had a highly selective antimycobacterial effect because they showed no activity against the other bacteria or fungi tested in this study. Furthermore, the investigated compounds exhibited low in vitro toxicities in four proliferating mammalian cell lines and in isolated primary human hepatocytes. Several in vitro genotoxicity assays indicated that the selected compounds have no mutagenic activity. The oxadiazole and thiadiazole derivatives with the most favorable activity/toxicity profiles also showed potency comparable to that of rifampicin against the nonreplicating streptomycin-starved M. tuberculosis 18b-Lux strain, and therefore, these derivatives, are of particular interest.

Antiurease, antiphosphodiesterase and antiglycation studies of Pd(II) complexes with monodentate hydrazides
The present study was aimed to synthesize and characterize a series of Pd(II)-benzohydrazide complexes with subsequent high throughput screening to seek their effects as enzyme inhibitors and antiglycating agents. Based on complete characterization via elemental (CHN, Pd) analysis, physical (conductivity, magnetic moment) measurements and spectral (FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR) techniques, all Pd(II) complexes were identified as diamagnetic, neutral and orienting in trans square planar geometry with general formula [PdL2Cl2]. The benzohydrazide (L) in these complexes depicts monodentate behavior, providing terminal amino nitrogen as a donor atom. Compared to inactive precursors (free benzohydrazides and Pd2+), almost all Pd(II) complexes showed in vitro antiglycation activity, illustrating the potential role of resulting complexes in the suppression of diabetes and related disorders. The presence of free carbonyl group in complexes has been recognized as possible cause of antiglycation. This study also indicated Pd(II) compounds as far more superior inhibitors of urease and phosphodiesterase-I than parent ligands; many of them exhibited inhibitions equivalent or even greater than the standard inhibitors (thiourea, urease; EDTA, phosphodiesterase), which shows their potential use in future in the control of peptic ulcer and arthritis, respectively. The structure activity relationship (SAR) study demonstrated that complexation, steric hindrance, position of substituents, electron density around metal centre, hydrogen bonding and coordination mode of complexed ligands play prime role in modulating the biological activities of complexes.

Combretastatin linked 1,3,4-oxadiazole conjugates as a Potent Tubulin Polymerization inhibitors
A new class of combretastatin linked 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were designed, synthesized and screened for their cytotoxic activity against five human cancer cell lines such as HeLa, DU-145, A549, MDA-MB-231 and B16. These compounds showed significant cytotoxicity with IC50 values in the range 0.118-54.32 μM. Conjugate 5m displayed potent antiproliferative activity against DU-145 cell line. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that these compounds arrested the cell cycle in G2/M phase. Moreover, the tubulin polymerization assay and immunofluorescence analysis indicate that 5m exhibits potent inhibitory effect on the tubulin assembly. Further, DNA fragmentation and Hoecst staining assays confirm that 5m induces apoptosis. Molecular docking studies and competitive binding assay indicated that 5m effectively bind at the colchicine binding site of the tubulin.

Rational design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 1,3,4-oxadiazole pyrimidine derivatives as novel pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E1 inhibitors
On the basis of previous study on 2-methylpyrimidine-4-ylamine derivatives I, further synthetic optimization was done to find potent PDHc-E1 inhibitors with antibacterial activity. Three series of novel pyrimidine derivatives 6, 11 and 14 were designed and synthesized as potential Escherichia coli PDHc-E1 inhibitors by introducing 1,3,4-oxadiazole-thioether, 2,4-disubstituted-1,3-thiazole or 1,2,4-triazol-4-amine-thioether moiety into lead structure I, respectively. Most of 6, 11 and 14 exhibited good inhibitory activity against E. coli PHDc-E1 (IC50 0.97-19.21 μM) and obvious inhibitory activity against cyanobacteria (EC50 0.83-9.86 μM). Their inhibitory activities were much higher than that of lead structure I. 11 showed more potent inhibitory activity against both E. coli PDHc-E1 (IC50 50 50 = 0.97 μM) and cyanobacteria (EC50 = 0.83 μM). The possible interactions of the important residues of PDHc-E1 with title compounds were studied by molecular docking, site-directed mutagenesis, and enzymatic assays. The results indicated that 11d had more potent inhibitory activity than that of 14d or I due to its 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety with more binding position and stronger interaction with Lsy392 and His106 at active site of E. coli PDHc-E1.

Synthesis, Characterization and Energetic Properties of 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles
An efficient cyclization between nitro-substituted benzoic acids and nitro-substituted benzohydrazides affords 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. Facile synthesis and a broad substrate scope produce a range of compounds, some of them with potential as high-energy compounds. Heats of formation (ΔHf) and densities (ρ) were calculated, and heats of decomposition (ΔHd) and combustion (ΔHc) were determined experimentally. The densities of seven of the synthesized compounds were determined by gas pycnometry, and the respective values of detonation velocity (VD), detonation pressure (PD) and specific impulse (ISP) were calculated using the EXPLO5 program. An X-ray structure of 2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-5-(3,5-dinitrophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (4n) revealed the non-planarity of the molecule and afforded a crystal density of 1.698 (at 120 K), close to the pycnometric value of 1.64 at room temperature. Efficient cyclization between nitro-substituted benzohydrazides and nitro-substituted benzoic acids affords energetic 1,3,4-oxadiazoles.

Synthesis of novel triazoles and a tetrazole of escitalopram as cholinesterase inhibitors
A novel serie of escitalopram triazoles (60-88) and a tetrazole (89) have been synthesized and subjected to a study to establish the inhibitory potential of these compounds toward acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Some selectivity in inhibition has been observed. The 4-chlorophenyl- (75, IC50, 6.71 ± 0.25 μM) and 2-methylphenyl- (70, IC50, 9.52 ± 0.23 μM) escitalopram triazole derivatives depicted high AChE inhibition, while 2-fluorophenyl- (76, IC50 = 4.52 ± 0.17 μM) and 4-fluorophenyl- (78, IC50 = 5.31 ± 0.43 μM) have found to be excellent BChE inhibitors. It has also been observed that ortho, meta and para substituted electron donating groups increase the inhibition, while electron withdrawing groups reduce the inhibition. Docking analyses of inhibitors with AChE have depicted the binding energies for 70 and 75 as ΔGbind -6.42 and -6.93 kcal/mol, respectively, while ligands 76 and 78 have shown the binding affinity ΔGbind -9.04 and -8.51 kcal/mol, respectively, for BChE.

With the aim of discovering a novel class of non-phosphorus-based fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) inhibitors, a series of 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized based on the hit compound (1) resulting from a high-throughput screening (HTS). Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies led to the identification of several compounds with comparable inhibitory activities to AMP, the natural allosteric inhibitor of FBPase. Notably, compound 22 and 27b, bearing a terminal carboxyl or 1H-tetrazole, demonstrated remarkable inhibition to gluconeogenesis (GNG). In addition, both inhibition and binding mode to the enzyme were investigated by enzymatic kinetics and in silico experiments for representative compounds 16 and 22.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of hybrid bioisoster derivatives of N-acylhydrazone and furoxan groups with potential and selective anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity
Hybrid bioisoster derivatives from N-acylhydrazones and furoxan groups were designed with the objective of obtaining at least a dual mechanism of action: cruzain inhibition and nitric oxide (NO) releasing activity. Fifteen designed compounds were synthesized varying the substitution in N-acylhydrazone and in furoxan group as well. They had its anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity in amastigotes forms, NO releasing potential and inhibitory cruzain activity evaluated. The two most active compounds (6, 14) both in the parasite amastigotes and in the enzyme contain the nitro group in para position of the aromatic ring. The permeability screening in Caco-2 cell and cytotoxicity assay in human cells were performed for those most active compounds and both showed to be less cytotoxic than the reference drug, benznidazole. Compound 6 was the most promising, since besides activity it showed good permeability and selectivity index, higher than the reference drug. Thereby the compound 6 was considered as a possible candidate for additional studies.

N′-[4-[(Substituted imino)methyl]benzylidene]-substituted benzohydrazides: Synthesis, antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer evaluation, and QSAR studies
A variety of N′-[4-[(substituted imino)methyl]benzylidene]- substituted benzohydrazides have been synthesized and evaluated for antimicrobial and anticancer potential. Results from testing of antimicrobial activity indicated the most potent antimicrobial agents had pMIC am = 1.51. The synthesized compounds were bacteriostatic and fungistatic in action. Results from evaluation of antiviral activity indicated that none of the synthesized hydrazide derivatives inhibited viral replication at sub-toxic concentrations. Results from anti-HIV screening against HIV-2 strain ROD indicated that one compound was more potent (IC 50 ≥ 1 μg/cm3) than the standard drug nevirapine (IC 50 ≥ 4 μg/cm3) and another was equipotent (IC 50 ≥ 4 μg/cm3). The most effective anticancer agent against both HCT116 and MCF7 cancer cell lines had IC 50 = 19 and 18 μg/cm 3, respectively. QSAR analysis indicated the importance of Wiener index (W) and energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) in describing the antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds.

Design, synthesis and biological activity evaluation of 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as novel inhibitors of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), an important gluconeogenic enzyme, catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate. The effort to discover new FBPase inhibitors was carried out by high-throughput screening (HTS) of a library of 56,000 lead-like compounds, and a 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (3a, IC50 = 15.45 μM) which bearing no phosphate group was identified as a potential FBPase inhibitor for the first time. Structure-activity-relationship (SAR) research of a series of analogues obtained by modifying the substituent groups and replacing the 1,3,4-oxadiazole with several other heterocycles disclosed the key structure and substituent groups related to the binding with FBPase.

Acyl hydrazides: Potent antioxidants
Twenty-eight acyl hydrazides (1-28) are subjected for nitric oxide scavenging activities and their structureactivity relationship (SAR) is established. Compounds 1-28 showed a varying degree of activity having IC 50 values in the range of 9.1 ± 6.5 - 231.1 μM. It was found that twenty-five (25) out of twenty-eight (28) compounds, showed an excellent nitric oxide scavenging activity. It was observed that the activity mainly depends on the substitution on acyl hyrazide moiety. 3-Propylpyrozole-5- carbohydrazide (27) was found to be the most active in the series with an IC50 value of 9.1 μM. Thus, compound 27 may serve as a lead compound for further development as potent antioxidant agent.

A series of 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thioesters was synthesized by converting several substituted organic acids successively into the corresponding esters, hydrazides and 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiols. Finally the target compounds: 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thioesters were obtained by refluxing 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiols in the presence of acid chloride and potassium hydroxide. The structures of the synthesized compounds were established by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity. Some of the evaluated compounds possessed significant antifungal activity as compared to a terbinafine standard.

Synthesis, characterization and antifungal activity of some new 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiols
A series of 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-thiols (3a-i) was synthesized by refluxing variably substituted organic acids (Ra-i) with methanol to the corresponding esters (1a-i). These esters were then converted to hydrazides (2a-i) by reaction with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of absolute ethanol which was followed by reaction with carbon disulfide and potassium hydroxide. Structure of the synthesized compounds was established by physicochemical and spectral data analysis. Synthesized compounds were subjected to antifungal activity. Antifungal activity was performed against Aspergillus flavus, Mucor species, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigates, with test compounds at a concentration of 200 μg/mL. Terbinafine was used as the standard drug.

Synthesis, characterization and antifungal evaluation of 5-substituted-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thioesters
A series of 5-substituted-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thioesters was synthesized by converting variously substituted organic acids successively into the corresponding esters, hydrazides, 5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiols, 5-substituted-1,2,4-triazole-2-thiols and 5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2- thioesters. Finally the target compounds were obtained by refluxing 5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thioesters in the presence of hydrazine hydrate and absolute alcohol. The structures of the synthesized compounds were established by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity. Some of the evaluated compounds possessed significant antifungal activity as compared to a terbinafine standard.
