Synthesis and electrochemical and antioxidant properties of chalcogenocyanate oxadiazole and 5-heteroarylchalcogenomethyl-1: H -tetrazole derivatives

This article presents the chalcogenocyanate oxadiazoles 7 and 8 and their derivatives 5-heteroarylchalcogenomethyl-1H-tetrazoles 9 and 10, which were synthesized in high yields. The 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles were obtained via [3+2] cycloaddition reactions of chalcogenocyanates 7 and 8 with sodium azide (NaN3) using a simple methodology. All the obtained compounds were characterized by NMR and high resolution mass spectrometry analysis. Their in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring their ability to eliminate free radicals in the form of 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and through the reduction of molybdenum(vi) to molybdenum(v). The results for the phosphomolybdenum method indicated that some compounds have antioxidant properties, as evidenced by electrochemical oxidation tests to which they were subjected, which correlate their oxidation potentials (Epa) with their activity values (EC50).

Antikinetoplastid activity of 3-aryl-5-thiocyanatomethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

A series of 5-thiocyanatomethyl- and 5-alkyl-3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their activity against kinetoplastid parasites. Formation of the oxadiazole ring was accomplished through the reaction of benzamidoximes with acyl chlorides, while the thiocyanate group was inserted by reacting the appropriate 5-halomethyl oxadiazole with ammonium thiocyanate. The thiocyanate-containing compounds possessed low micromolar activity against Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma brucei, while the 5-alkyl oxadiazoles were less active against these parasites. 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-5-(thiocyanatomethyl)-1, 2,4-oxadiazole (compound 4b) displayed modest selectivity for L. donovani axenic amastigote-like parasites over J774 macrophages, PC3 prostate cancer cells, and Vero cells (6.4-fold, 3.8-fold, and 9.1-fold, respectively), while 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-(thiocyanatomethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (compound 4h) showed 30-fold selectivity against Vero cells but was not selective against PC3 cells. In a murine model of visceral leishmaniasis, compound 4b decreased liver parasitemia caused by L. donovani by 48% when given in five daily i.v. doses at 5mg/kg and by 61% when administered orally for 5days at 50mg/kg. These results indicate that aromatic thiocyanates hold promise for the treatment of leishmanial infections if the selectivity of these compounds can be improved.
