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.

A series of semicarbazone, thiosemicarbazone, and aminoguanidine derivatives were synthesized and tested as antitrypanosomal agents. The theoretical NMR of the compounds was calculated using molecular modeling techniques (density functional theory (DFT) calculations) and confirmed the formation of the compounds. The ability to inhibit cruzain and Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigote replication was evaluated. Cruzain inhibition ranged between 70 and 75% (100?μM), and IC50 values observed in epimastigote forms of T. cruzi ranged from 20 to 140?μM. Furthermore, the compounds did not present cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 50 and 250?μM in MTT tests. Molecular modeling studies were conducted using DFT method (B3LYP functional and the basis set 6-311G(d,p)) to understand the activity of the compounds, corroborating the observed cruzain inhibitory activity. In docking studies, the obtained analogs showed good complementarity with cruzain active site. In addition, docking results are in accordance with the susceptibility of these analogs to nucleophilic attack of the catalytic Cys25. Taken together, this study shows that this class of compounds can be used as a prototype in the identification of new antichagasic drugs.

Herein, we describe a new approach towards the synthesis of selenosemicarbazones. The reaction involves an O-Se exchange of semicarbazones using Ishihara reagent. Eleven selenosemicarbazones were prepared using this methodology, with low to moderate yields. Among the prepared compounds the m-bromo phenyl methyl derivative 1b was selected to be evaluated in vivo, in a murine model of acute Chagas' disease. Compound 1b 10 mg/kg bw/day reduced 50% of parasitaemia profile compared with the control group, but was less effective than Benznidazole (50 mg/kg bw/day reduced 90%) and toxic. These studies are important to guide future Chagas drug design.

A series of new methyl [2-(arylmethylene-hydrazono)-4-oxo-thiazolidin-5- ylidene]acetates (5a-o) were synthesized via cyclocondensation of thiosemicarbazones (3a-o) with dimethyl but-2-ynedioate (4) in good yields under solvent-free conditions. The environmentally friendly solvent-free protocol overcomes the limitations associated with the customary protracted solution phase synthesis and afforded the title compounds in a few minutes. Compounds 5b-i and 5h-o were evaluated for their antiviral activity against the replication activity of HIV-1 and HIV-2 in MT-4 using the MTT assay. The same compounds were also evaluated in vitro for their selective antiviral activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the Huh 5-2 replicon system (type 1b, Con1 strain).

The enzymatic inhibition of histone deacetylase activity has come out as a novel and effectual means for the treatment of cancer. Two novel series of 2-[5-(4-substitutedphenyl)-[1,3,4]-oxadiazol/thiadiazol-2-ylamino] -pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-amides were designed and synthesized as novel hydroxamic acid based histone deacetylase inhibitors. The antiproliferative activities of the compounds were investigated in vitro using histone deacetylase inhibitory assay and MTT assay. The synthesized compounds were also tested for antitumor activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells in Swiss albino mice. The efforts were also made to establish structure-activity relationships among synthesized compounds. The results of the present studying indicates 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole as promising surface recognition moiety for development of newer hydroxamic acid based histone deacetylase inhibitor.

1-(Substituted benzylidene) semicarbazide has been used as a precursor to synthesize some important biologically active 3- substituted phenyl, 4H-1, 2, 4 triazole derivatives. Reaction of ethanolic solution of schiff s base of substituted aromatic aldehyde 1 with ethanolic solution of FeCl 3.6H2O (1 mole FeCl3.6H2O in 10 mL ethanol) yields the 4N-1, 2, 4 triazole-3-derivative 2. Several derivatives have been synthesized and screened for their antibacterial efficacy against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphyllococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae, Antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma viridae and insecticidal activity against Periplaneta americana.

experimental part, p. 250 - 261 (2011/01/12)
A few novel 3-[5-(4-substituted) phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl]-2-styryl quinazoline-4(3H)-ones were synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant, neurotoxicity, sedative-hypnotic, and phenobarbitone-induced hypnosis potentiation test. After i.p. injection to mice at doses of 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg body weight derivatives were examined in the maximal electroshock-induced seizures (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ)-induced seizure models in mice. Spectroscopic data were consistence with the newly synthesized compounds. The neurotoxicity was assessed using the Rotorod method. Out of 15 compounds only 7e and 7o showed anticonvulsant activity at various doses in one or more test models. All except 7d, 7m, and 7n exhibited significant sedative-hypnotic activity via actophotometer screen. Central nervous system (CNS)-depressant activity screened with the help of the forced swim method resulted into some potent compounds. No percentage increase in the sleeping time was observed in any of the synthesized compounds evaluated by the phenobarbitone-induced hypnosis potentiation test. On the basis of experimental data, it can be concluded that synthesized compounds possessed relatively better sedative-hypnotic and CNS-depressant activities.

Several 3-[5-(4-substituted)phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl]-2-styryl quinazoline-4(3H)-one were synthesized and screened for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus , Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli and antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Fusariumoxysporum by the serial dilution technique. Compounds were prepared by reacting corresponding 2-methtyl quinazolinone and 4-subustituted benzaldehydes in glacial acetic acid. Physicochemical and spectral data were consistent with newly synthesized compounds. The prepared compounds were compared with previously synthesized 2-methyl-3-[5-(4-substituted)phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2- yl]-quinazoline-4(3H)-ones for antimicrobial activity. The present study revealed that styryl moiety at the second position of 4(3H) quinazolinone marginally increased the biological activity and exhibited better antibacterial than antifungal activities.

, p. 300 - 302 (2007/10/03)
A series of semicarbazones and thiosemicarbazones were synthesized and evaluated for anti-convulsant activity. Some compounds provided significant protection against Maximal Electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous strychnine induced seizures. Compound 1 was the most active in the series with activity in a dose of 30 mg/kg in the strychnine seizure pattern test and an ED50 of 10 mg/kg in the MES test. Hence it could serve as a prototype molecule for future development. Also compounds with a p-nitrophenyl substitution in place of the amino hydrogen of semicarbazone moiety showed activity in a dose of 30 mg/kg and an ED50 of 83 mg/kg in the MES test.
