Parasitic roundworms (nematodes) are significant pathogens of humans and animals and cause substantive socioeconomic losses due to the diseases that they cause. The control of nematodes in livestock animals relies heavily on the use of anthelmintic drugs. However, their extensive use has led to a widespread problem of drug resistance in these worms. Thus, the discovery and development of novel chemical entities for the treatment of parasitic worms of humans and animals is needed. Herein, we describe our medicinal chemistry optimization efforts of a phenotypic hit against Haemonchus contortus based on a pyrrolidine-oxadiazole scaffold. This led to the identification of compounds with potent inhibitory activities (IC50 = 0.78–22.4 μM) on the motility and development of parasitic stages of H. contortus, and which were found to be highly selective in a mammalian cell counter-screen. These compounds could be used as suitable chemical tools for drug target identification or as lead compounds for further optimization.

Novel substituted N-phenylcarbamates as derivatives of 3-(1 H-imidazol- 4-yl)propanol were prepared and tested for their antagonist potency in vitro and in vivo at histamine H3 receptors. Structural modifications with different alkyl and acetyl moieties were performed in an attempt to optimize pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic effects. Most compounds are active in a functional test for histamine H3 receptors on rat cerebral cortex synaptosomes as well as in a peripheral model on guinea pig ileum. But only carbamates without too bulky lipophilic residues showed pronounced to high antagonist potency on the enhancement of endogenous histamine in brain after p.o. administration to mice (ED50 values of 5.5 to 0.86 mg · kg-1). The tested compounds presented weak activities at histamine H1, H2, and muscarinic M3 receptors thus demonstrating their H3-receptor selectivity.
