A class of pleuromutilin derivatives containing 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole were designed and synthesized as potential antibacterial agents against Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The ultrasound-assisted reaction was proposed as a green chemistry method to synthesize 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole derivatives (intermediates 85–110). Among these pleuromutilin derivatives, compound 133 was found to be the strongest antibacterial derivative against MRSA (MIC = 0.125 μg/mL). Furthermore, the result of the time-kill curves displayed that compound 133 could inhibit the growth of MRSA in vitro quickly (- 4.36 log10 CFU/mL reduction). Then, compound 133 (- 1.82 log10 CFU/mL) displayed superior in vivo antibacterial efficacy than tiamulin (- 0.82 log10 CFU/mL) in reducing MRSA load in mice thigh model. Besides, compound 133 exhibited low cytotoxicity to RAW 264.7 cells. Molecular docking studies revealed that compound 133 was successfully localized in the binding pocket of 50S ribosomal subunit (ΔGb = -10.50 kcal/mol). The results indicated that these pleuromutilin derivatives containing 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole might be further developed into novel antibiotics against MRSA.

To improve the insecticidal activity of (+)-nootkatone, a series of 42 (+)-nootkatone thioethers containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole moieties were prepared to evaluate their insecticidal activities against Mythimna separata Walker, Myzus persicae Sulzer, and Plutella xylostella Linnaeus. Insecticidal evaluation revealed that most of the title derivatives exhibited more potent insecticidal activities than the precursor (+)-nootkatone after the introduction of 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole on (+)-nootkatone. Among all of the (+)-nootkatone derivatives, compound 8c (1 mg/mL) exhibited the best growth inhibitory (GI) activity against M. separata with a final corrected mortality rate (CMR) of 71.4%, which was 1.54- and 1.43-fold that of (+)-nootkatone and toosendanin, respectively; 8c also displayed the most potent aphicidal activity against M. persicae with an LD50 value of 0.030 μg/larvae, which was closer to that of the commercial insecticidal etoxazole (0.026 μg/larvae); and 8s showed the best larvicidal activity against P. xylostella with an LC50 value of 0.27 mg/mL, which was 3.37-fold that of toosendanin and slightly higher than that of etoxazole (0.28 mg/mL). Furthermore, the control efficacy of 8s against P. xylostella in the pot experiments under greenhouse conditions was better than that of etoxazole. Structure-activity relationships (SARs) revealed that in most cases, the introduction of 1,3,4-oxadiazole/thiadiazole containing halophenyl groups at the C-13 position of (+)-nootkatone could obtain more active derivatives against M. separata, M. persicae, and P. xylostella than those containing other groups. In addition, toxicity assays indicated that these (+)-nootkatone derivatives had good selectivity to insects over nontarget organisms (normal mammalian NRK-52E cells and C. idella and N. denticulata fries) with relatively low toxicity. Therefore, the above results indicate that these (+)-nootkatone derivatives could be further explored as new lead compounds for the development of potential eco-friendly pesticides.

Phenylthio heterocyclic compounds are widely used because of their diverse biological activities and medicinal prospects. Here, a facile method was reported. An arylation of 1,3,4-oxa(thia)diazol-2-thiones reacting with arynes to build C(aryl)-S bonds in the presence of CsF had good yields and excellent selectivity. The reaction was completed in short time without using expensive reagents and catalysts. Present reaction system is an efficient procedure to process phenylthio heterocyclic compounds and reveals a sustainable method and better application prospects in future organic synthesis.

Thalidomide and its analogs are immunomodulatory drugs that inhibit the production of certain inflammatory mediators associated with cancer. In the present work, a new series of thalidomide analogs was designed and synthesized to obtain new effective antitumor immunomodulatory agents. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against a panel of four cancer cell lines (HepG-2, HCT-116, PC3 and MCF-7). Compounds 33h, 33i, 42f and 42h showed strong potencies against all tested cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 14.63 to 49.90 μM comparable to that of thalidomide (IC50 values ranging from 32.12 to 76.91 μM). The most active compounds were further evaluated for their in vitro immunomodulatory activities via estimation of human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), human caspase-8 (CASP8), human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and nuclear factor kappa-B P65 (NF-κB P65) in HCT-116 cells. Thalidomide was used as a positive control. Compounds 33h and 42f showed a significant reduction in TNF-α. Furthermore, compounds 33i and 42f exhibited significant elevation in CASP8 levels. Compounds 33i and 42f inhibited VEGF. In addition, compound 42f showed significant decrease in levels of NF-κB p65. Moreover, apoptosis and cell cycle tests of the most active compound 42f, were performed. The results indicated that compound 42f significantly induce apoptosis in HCT-116 cells and arrest cell cycle at the G2/M phase.

Tuberculosis remains as a major public health risk which causes the highest mortality rate globally and an improved regimen is required to treat the drug-resistant strains. Pyrazinamide is a first-line antitubercular drug used in combination therapy with other anti-TB drugs. Herein, we describe the modification of pyrazinamide structure using bioisosterism and rational approaches by incorporating the 1,2,3-triazole moiety. Three sets of pyrazine-1,2,3-triazoles (3a-o, 5a-o and 9a-l) are designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro inhibitory potency against mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The pyrazine-1,2,3-triazoles synthesized through the bioisosteric modification displayed improved activity as compared to rationally modified pyrazine-1,2,3-triazoles. Among 42 title compounds, seven derivatives demonstrated significant anti-tubercular activity with the MIC of 1.56 μg/mL, which are two-fold more potent than the parent compound pyrazinamide. Further, the synthesized pyrazinamide analogs demonstrated moderate inhibition activity against several bacterial strains and possessed an acceptable in vitro cytotoxicity profile as well. Additionally, the activity profile of pyrazine-1,2,3-triazoles was validated by performing the molecular docking studies against the Inh A enzyme. Furthermore, in silico ADME prediction revealed good oral bioavailability for the potent molecules.

Fourteen heterocyclic sulfide derivatives (4–17) containing a thymol moiety and oxadiazole, thiadiazole, triazole, oxazole, thiazole, imidazole, pyridine or purine heterocycles were synthesized in three steps. The cupric, Cu(II), ion reducing antioxidant capacity of the compounds was examined, and molecular docking studies were performed to determine whether the sulfur, thymol or heterocyclic moieties interact with the Cu ions in tyrosinase, a type-3 copper enzyme. Using the CUPRAC assay, eight compounds (5–8, 10, 15–17) showed equal or better Cu (II) reducing capacity than trolox at neutral pH, with trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) coefficients ranging between 1.00 and 1.48. The compounds containing a thiadiazole moiety were most effective, with the methyl thiadiazole derivative (8) having the highest Cu(II) reducing capacity. Molecular docking studies of the sulfide derivatives with tyrosinase revealed that there were no direct interactions between the sulfur atom and the active site copper ions. However, the compounds displayed two different binding interactions with the histidine-Cu catalytic center. For compounds 4–13, the thymol portion was embedded in the active site cavity, while for compounds 14–17 the heterocyclic portion of the molecule approached the cavity.

Abstract: A series of novel indole derivatives containing double 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety was designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activities in vitro. These compounds were fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. Bioassay results indicated that most of title compounds exhibited excellent antibacterial activities against rice bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae (Xoo). For example, compounds 7d, 7h, 7i, 7j, 7k, 7l and 7m had the half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 52.31, 54.12, 40.65, 38.80, 51.13, 52.75 and 50.66?μg/mL, respectively, which was better than that of commercial product bismerthiazol (BMT) (85.18?μg/mL). The experimental results proved that indole derivatives bearing double 1,3,4-oxadiazole unit are promising candidates for the development of new agricultural bactericides against pathogenic bacterium Xoo.

The emergence and widespread occurrence of plant bacterial diseases that cause global production constraints have become major challenges to agriculture worldwide. To promote the discovery and development of new bactericides, imidazole-labeled 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioethers were first fabricated by integrating the crucially bioactive scaffolds of the imidazole motif and 1,3,4-oxadiazole skeleton in a single molecular architecture. Subsequently, a superior antibacterial compound A6 was gradually discovered possessing excellent competence against plant pathogens Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv citri with EC50 values of 0.734 and 1.79 μg/mL, respectively. These values were better than those of commercial agents bismerthiazol (92.6 μg/mL) and thiodiazole copper (77.0 μg/mL). Further modifying the imidazole moiety into the imidazolium scaffold led to the discovery of an array of potent antibacterial compounds providing the corresponding minimum EC50 values of 0.295 and 0.607 μg/mL against the two strains. Moreover, a plausible action mechanism for attacking pathogens was proposed based on the concentration dependence of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and fluorescence microscopy images. Given the simple molecular structures, easy synthetic procedure, and highly efficient bioactivity, imidazole (or imidazolium)-labeled 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioethers can be further explored and developed as promising indicators for the development of commercial drugs.

Fungi cause serious life-threatening infections in immunocompromised individuals and current treatments are now complicated by toxicity issues and the emergence of drug resistant strains. Consequently, there is a need for development of new antifungal drugs. Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), a key component of the de novo purine biosynthetic pathway, is essential for growth and virulence of fungi and is a potential drug target. In this study, a high-throughput screen of 114,000 drug-like compounds against Cryptococcus neoformans IMPDH was performed. We identified three 3-((5-substituted)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thio benzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxides that inhibited Cryptococcus IMPDH and also possessed whole cell antifungal activity. Analogs were synthesized to explore the SAR of these hits. Modification of the fifth substituent on the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring yielded compounds with nanomolar in vitro activity, but with associated cytotoxicity. In contrast, two analogs generated by substituting the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring with imidazole and 1,2,4-triazole gave reduced IMPDH inhibition in vitro, but were not cytotoxic. During enzyme kinetic studies in the presence of DTT, nucleophilic attack of a free thiol occurred with the benzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxide. Two representative compounds with substitution at the 5 position of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring, showed mixed inhibition in the absence of DTT. Incubation of these compounds with Cryptococcus IMPDH followed by mass spectrometry analysis showed non-specific and covalent binding with IMPDH at multiple cysteine residues. These results support recent reports that the benzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxides moiety as PAINS (pan-assay interference compounds) contributor.
