3-Acetyl-2,5-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were designed, synthesized, and tested as inhibitors against human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B isoforms. Several compounds, obtained as racemates, were identified as selective MAO-B inhibitors. The enantiomers of some derivatives were separated by enantioselective HPLC and tested. The R-enantiomers always showed the highest activity. Docking study and molecular dynamic simulations demonstrated the putative binding mode. We conclude that these 1,3,4-oxadiazoles derivatives are promising reversible and selective MAO-B inhibitors.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Various aldehyde and ketone acylhydrazones are synthesized and, under acylating conditions, cyclized into 3-acyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolines. The scope and limitations of these cyclizations and the possible side reactions (e.g. formation of the open-chain N,O-acylhydrazinocarbinols) are dissected. For the first time, simple, convenient and efficient dehydrogenations of 3-acyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolines to oxadiazoles by treatment with potassium permanganate, or more conveniently, with ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate (CAN) are presented. CAN oxidation of 2,2-disubstituted 3-acyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolines, as well as that of aldehyde diacylhydrazones (open-chain isomers of 2,5-disubstituted 3-acyl-1,3,4- oxadiazolines) regenerates the parent carbonyl compounds.
