Abstract: One of the goals of green chemistry is to use environmentally friendly solvents or remove and reduce the volume of harmful spent solvents. In this study, a novel process for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol derivatives was proposed via ultrasound-assisted reaction of aryl hydrazides with CS2 (1:1 molar ratio) in some drops of DMF in the absence of basic or acidic catalysts. They were produced in good to excellent yields under easy workup and purification conditions. In order to prove the usefulness of the prepared compounds, their antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal potentials were screened by DPPH free radical scavenging, serial twofold microdilution and streak plate methods. Acceptable to significant inhibitory activities were observed with synthesized heterocycles. The results showed that 5-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (3c) is an broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. Many of them displayed remarkable antioxidant properties comparable to standard controls (ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol). Synthesized 1,3,4-oxadiazoles are also potent candidates to treat cancer, Parkinson, inflammatory, and diabetes diseases. Graphic Abstract: Eighteen 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol derivatives as potent antimicrobial and antioxidant agents were prepared via a new, efficient and green procedure.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Quinoxaline is one of the privileged heterocyclic fragments for drug molecules. Quinoxaline anticancer drug candidates XK469 and CQS exhibit antiproliferative and proapoptotic properties against various cancers. Based on their chemical structures, we therefore synthesized a series of quinoxaline-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrids and assessed their anticancer potential on human leukemia HL-60 cells. Although these hybrids exerted significant inhibition of HL-60 cell proliferation, they showed high cytotoxicity on human normal cells (WI-38). Utilizing information from molecular modelling of the hybrids to the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein, we added substructures including phenyl, piperazine, piperidine, and morpholine rings to their frameworks. The designed quinoxaline-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid derivatives successfully induced apoptotic response on HL-60 cells with low toxicity on WI-38 cells. Furthermore, RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that these derivatives predominantly inhibit Bcl-2 expression. Our findings highlight the great potential for the development of synthetic quinoxaline-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid derivatives as proapoptotic anticancer agents.

A new series of fluconazole analogues of 1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-(2,4- difluoro-phenyl)-3-4-(substituted-heterocyclic ring-1H-1,2,3- triazol-1-yl)-2-propanols (1-10) were designed, synthesized and evaluated as antifungal agents. Preliminary antifungal tests showed that most of the title compounds exhibited moderate activity with broad spectrum against eight human pathogenic fungi in vitro, compounds 1 and 6 had the best antifungal activity against Candida albicans with the value of MIC80 = 0.5 μg/mL respectively.

A series of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether derivatives (compounds 9-44) were designed and synthesized as potential inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS) and as anticancer agents. The in vitro anticancer activities of these compounds were evaluated against three cancer cell lines by the MTT method. Among all the designed compounds, compound 18 bearing a nitro substituent exhibited more potent in vitro anticancer activities with IC50 values of 0.7 ± 0.2, 30.0 ± 1.2, 18.3 ± 1.4 μM, respectively, which was superior to the positive control. In the further study, it was identified as the most potent inhibitor against two kinds of TS protein (for human TS and Escherichia coli TS, IC50 values: 0.62 and 0.47 μM, respectively) in the TS inhibition assay in vitro and the most potent antibacterial agents with MIC (minimum inhibitory concentrations) of 1.56-3.13 μg/mL against the tested four bacterial strains. Molecular docking and 3D-QSAR study supported that compound 18 can be selected as dual antitumor/antibacterial candidate in the future study.

In present study, a series of new 2-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylthio)-1- phenylethanone derivatives (6a-6x) as potential focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitors were synthesized. The bioassay assays demonstrated that compound 6i showed the most potent activity, which inhibited the growth of MCF-7 and A431 cell lines with IC50 values of 140 ± 10 nM and 10 ± 1 nM, respectively. Compound 6i also exhibited significant FAK inhibitory activity (IC50 = 20 ± 1 nM). Docking simulation was performed to position compound 6i into the active site of FAK to determine the probable binding model.

A series of 2-(benzylthio)-5-aryloxadiazole derivatives have been designed and synthesized, and their biological activities are also evaluated for EGFR inhibitory activity. Fourteen compounds among the twenty compounds are reported for the first time. Their chemical structures are characterized by 1H NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. Anti-proliferative and EGFR inhibition assay results have demonstrated that compound 3e shows the most potent biological activity (IC50 = 1.09 μM for MCF-7 and IC50 = 1.51 μM for EGFR). Docking simulation has been performed to position compound 3e into the EGFR active site to determine the probable binding model, with an estimated binding free energy value of -10.7 kcal/mol. Compound 3e with potent inhibitory activity in tumor growth inhibition may be a promising anti-tumor leading compound for the further research.
