A series of sulfur- and selenium-bearing, amino acid-derived 1,2,4-oxadiazoles were obtained by a simple procedure. The method consists of EDC-promoted coupling of chalcogen amino acid derivatives with arylamidoximes in acetone, followed by solvent removal and microwave irradiation in water medium. Influence of amidoxime substituents, of the chalcogen atom and of the amino acid side chain is discussed. The results showed this to be a fast, easy and effective method to obtain these compounds, with good functional-group tolerance, potentially favouring future applications in organic synthesis.

The high expression of the translocator protein (TSPO) makes it an ideal target for imaging and therapy. The present study is aimed at optimizing acetamidobenzoxazolone-based TSPO ligands by structural modification to overcome the limitations of TSPO ligands of the first two generations such as nonspecificity and polymorphism. Three different TSPO proteins, 2MGY, 4RYQ, and 4UC1, in the native and mutated form were chosen. Acetamidobenzoxazolones modified with phenylalanine methyl ester (methyl 2-(2-(5-bromo/chloro-2-oxobenzooxazol-3(2H)-yl)acetamido)-3-phenylpropanoate, ABPO-Br, ABPO-Cl) through better or comparable docking scores than the known TSPO ligands such as MBMP, FEBMP, FPBMP, and PK11195 are identified as potential TSPO ligands. ABPO-Cl and ABPO-Br were synthesized using phenylalanine methyl ester as a moiety for incorporation of the desired pharmacophoric feature. All the intermediates and final compounds were purified using column chromatography and analytical HPLC (purity > 97%). The purified compounds were characterized by 1H, 13C NMR and mass spectroscopy. Drug likeliness and comparative bioactivity analysis were performed using QikProp through prediction of various properties. Both analogs follow all the five Lipinski rules and three Jogersen’s rules predicting their drug likeliness. The other important aspects related to TSPO ligands such as blood-brain barrier penetration and better contrast have been predicted through lipophilicity (QP log P = 2.76 and 2.74 for ABPO-Br and ABPO-Cl, respectively) and serum binding (QP log Khsa = ?0.18 and ?0.25 for ABPO-Br and ABPO-Cl, respectively). The selectivity and distribution of these TSPO ligands were confirmed by 99mTc-ABPO-Br dynamic image in New Zealand rabbit. These results have shown that the ABPO analogs have the potential to act as better ligands as compared to known acetamidobenzoxazolone derivatives and would be of interest as a promising starting point for designing compounds for TSPO targeting.

Enantiomerically pure (3S,7R,8aS)-3-phenyloctahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-7-ol, (3S,7R,8aS)-3-methyl octahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-7-ol, (3S,7R,8aS)-3-isopropyloctahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-7-ol and (3S,7R,8aS)-3-isobutyloctahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-7-ol 16d were synthesized via preparation of the corresponding cyclic amides from enantiomerically pure L-proline and hydroxyproline derivatives followed by reduction using sodium borohydride-iodine.
