A new series of furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine–1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid derivatives were synthesized via an environmentally friendly, multistep synthetic tool and a one-pot Songoashira-heterocyclization protocol using, for the first time, nanostructured palladium pyrophosphate (Na2PdP2O7) as a heterogeneous catalyst. Compounds 9a–c exhibited broad-spectrum activity with low micromolar EC50 values toward wild and mutant varicella-zoster virus (VZV) strains. Compound 9b was up to threefold more potent than the reference drug acyclovir against thymidine kinase-deficient VZV strains. Importantly, derivative 9b was not cytostatic at the maximum tested concentration (CC50 > 100 μM) and had an acceptable selectivity index value of up to 7.8. Moreover, all synthesized 1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrids were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity in four human cancer cell lines: fibrosarcoma (HT-1080), breast (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231), and lung carcinoma (A549). Data showed that compound 8f exhibits moderate cytotoxicity, with IC50 values ranging from 13.89 to 19.43 μM. Besides, compound 8f induced apoptosis through caspase 3/7 activation, cell death independently of the mitochondrial pathway, and cell cycle arrest in the S phase for HT1080 cells and the G1/M phase for A549 cells. Finally, the molecular docking study confirmed that the anticancer activity of the synthesized compounds is mediated by the activation of caspase 3.

Novel N-Benzylpyrrolidine hybrids were designed, synthesized, and tested against multiple in-vitro and in-vivo parameters. Among all the synthesized molecules, 8f and 12f showed extensive inhibition against beta-secretase-1 (hBACE-1), human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) & human butyrylcholinesterase (hBuChE). These molecules are also endowed with significant AChE-peripheral anionic site (PAS) binding capability, blood-brain barrier permeability, potential disassembly of Aβ aggregates along with neuroprotection ability on SHSY-5Y cell lines. Results of the Y-Maze and Morris water maze test concluded that compounds 8f and 12f ameliorated cognitive dysfunction induced by scopolamine and Aβ. The ex-vivo activity was executed on rat's brain homogenate indicating a reduction in AChE level and oxidative stress. The pharmacokinetic investigation ascertained considerable oral absorption profile of the lead 12f. The results of the in silico docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated stable interactions of compounds 8f and 12f with the target residues of hAChE, hBuChE and hBACE-1.
