A series of N-(substituted benzothiazole-2-yl)-2-(2,3-dioxoindolin-1-yl)acetamide (4a-i) and substituted-[3-((5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl)imino)indolene-2-one] (5a-f) were designed, synthesized fulfilling the structural requirement of pharmacophore and evaluated for anticonvulsant activities using maximal electroshock test (MES), subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) seizures and neurotoxicity by motor impairment model in mice. The most active compoundN-(5-chlorobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-(2,3-dioxoindolin-1-yl)acetamide (4a) has shown significant anticonvulsant activity against both MES and scPTZ screens and emerged as most effective anticonvulsant compound with median dose of 35.7 mg/kg (MES ED50), 88.15 mg/kg (scPTZ ED50) and toxic dose (TD50) was found to be > 500mg/kg. In silico studies including molecular docking study was carried to establish the molecular interaction of potent compound (4a) in both Na+ channel and GABAA receptors. The prediction of pharmacokinetic parameters and distance mapping of compounds were also performed to establish the drug likeness property.

Background: In the recent past, we have synthesized and reported different derivatives of oxadiazoles as potential α-glucosidase inhibitors, keeping in mind, the pharmacological aspects of oxadiazole moiety and in continuation of our ongoing research on the chemistry and bioactivity of new heterocyclic compounds. Methods: 1,3,4-Oxadiazole derivatives (1-14) have been synthesized and characterized by different spectroscopic techniques such as1 H-,13 C-NMR and HREI-MS. Results: The synthetic derivatives were screened for α-glucosidase inhibitory potential. All compounds exhibited good inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging between 0.80 ± 0.1 to 45.1 ± 1.7 μM in comparison with the standard acarbose having IC50 value 38.45 ± 0.80 μM. Conclusion: Thirteen compounds 1-6 and 8-14 showed potential inhibitory activity as compared to the standard acarbose having IC50 value 38.45 ± 0.80 μM, however, only one compound 7 (IC50 = 45.1 ± 1.7 μM) was found to be less active. Compound 14 (IC50 = 0.80 ± 0.1 μM) showed promising inhibitory activity among all synthetic derivatives. Molecular docking studies were also conducted for the active compounds to understand the ligand-enzyme binding interactions.

Environmental pollution caused by the discharge of mutagenic and carcinogenic nitrofurans to the aquatic and soil environment is an emerging public health concern because of the potential in producing drug-resistant microbes and being uptaken by food crops. Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis and with spring onion (Allium wakegi Araki) as the plant model, we investigated in this study the plant uptake and accumulation of nitrofuran from a contaminated environment. Our study revealed for the first time high uptake and accumulation rates of nitrofuran in the edible parts of the food crop. Furthermore, results indicated highly efficient plant metabolism of the absorbed nitrofuran within the plant, leading to the formation of genotoxic hydrazine-containing metabolites. The results from this study may disclose a previously unidentified human exposure pathway through contaminated food crops.
