A series of caffeic acid (CA) derivatives 7a-j were synthesized via etherification and coupling action and their chemical structures were elucidated spectroscopically. Motivated by the various biological activities displayed by CA derivatives such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anticancer and antioxidant and also based on its extensively consumption in the human diet. In the present work, the newly synthesized compounds 7a-j were evaluated for anti-inflammatory and analgesic action and most of them exerted comparable activity to the reference compound celecoxib. Further, ulcer indexes for the most active compounds were calculated and most of them showed less ulcerogenic effect than the reference drug. Among the title series 7a-j, compounds 7f and 7g with electron withdrawing bromo and chloro group respectively, at the para position of the phenoxy ring was showed good activity compared to all other compounds. Interestingly, the COX-I/COX-II activity ratio of potent compounds 7f and7g showed an almost equal inhibitory effect on both isoenzymes. Further, molecular docking studies have been performed for the potent compounds which showed statistically significant result.

Developing novel fungicide candidates are intensively promoted by the rapid emergences of resistant fungi that outbreak on agricultural production. Aiming to discovery novel antifungal leads, a series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives bearing a quinazolin-4(3H)-one fragment were constructed for evaluating their inhibition effects against phytopathogenic fungi in vitro and in vivo. Systematically structural optimizations generated the bioactive molecule I32 that was identified as a promising inhibitor against Rhizoctonia solani with the in vivo preventative effect of 58.63% at 200 μg/mL. The observations that were captured by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that the bioactive molecule I32 could induce the sprawling growth of hyphae, the local shrinkage and rupture on hyphal surfaces, the extreme swelling of vacuoles, the striking distortions on cell walls, and the reduction of mitochondria numbers. The above results provided an indispensable complement for the discovery of antifungal lead bearing a quinazolin-4(3H)-one and 1,3,4-oxadiazole fragment.

We performed a biochemical screen against mTOR using in-house small molecule library. Two novel, structurally distinct hits were identified. Among them, a novel oxadiazole scaffold compound (2) suppressed the phosphorylation of both S6K1 and Akt1 in HeLa cells. Docking study suggested that 2 is ATP-competitive and shows a pi-pi interaction with Trp2239 and hydrogen bonds with Trp2239 and Thr2245. Through derivatization, a slightly more potent analogue (2a) was identified with IC50 of 9.6 μM. Our study provides a starting point for discovery of novel potent mTOR inhibitors.
