Cancer constitutes a group of diseases linked to abnormal cell growth that can potentially spread to other parts of the body and is one of the most common causes of death. The molecular motors - DNA topoisomerases - that enable topological changes of the DNA molecule are one of the most established targets of cancer therapies. Due to known limitations of established topo II poisons such as cardiotoxicity, induction of secondary malignancies and recognized cancer cell resistance, an emerging group of catalytic topo II inhibitors attempts to circumvent these challenges. Currently, this approach comprises several subgroups of mechanistically diverse inhibitors, one of which are compounds that act by binding to their ATPase domain. In this study we have designed, synthesized and characterized a new series of 3,5-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles that act as catalytic inhibitors of human topo IIα. The introduction of the substituted rigid substitutions on the oxadiazole backbone was intended to enhance the interactions with the ATP binding site. In the inhibition assays selected compounds revealed a new class of catalytic inhibitors targeting this molecular motor and showed binding to the isolated topo IIα ATPase domain. The predicted inhibitor binding geometries were evaluated in molecular dynamics simulations and subsequently dynophore models were derived, which provided a deeper insight into molecular recognition with its macromolecular target. Selected compounds also displayed in vitro cytotoxicity on the investigated MCF-7 cancer cell line and did not induce double-strand breaks (DSB), thus displaying a mechanism of action diverse from the topo II poisons also on the cellular level. The substituted oxadiazoles thus comprise a chemical class of interesting compounds that are synthetically fully amenable for further optimization to anticancer drugs.

A simple, mild and practical process for the direct conversion of nitriles to cyanamides was newly discovered and exhibited a wide substrate scope as well as great functional group-tolerability (36 examples). In this efficient strategy, the in situ generated amidoximes obtained from the reaction of nitriles with hydroxylamine subsequently underwent Tiemann rearrangement, producing the corresponding cyanamides with great isolated yields under SO2F2. Additionally, the control experiments reportedly shed light on the tentative mechanism involved in the formation and elimination of the key intermediate: a sulfonyl ester.

An efficient and mild one-pot protocol has been developed for the synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles via the reaction of amidoximes with dicarboxylic acid anhydrides in a NaOH/DMSO medium. The method allows the synthesis of diversely substituted carboxylic acids bearing the 1,2,4-oxadiazole motif, – a popular building block for pharmaceutical research, in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction scope includes aromatic and heteroaromatic amidoximes as well as five-, six- and seven-membered anhydrides. The advantages of this procedure are proven gram-scalability and the use of inexpensive starting materials, which from a process chemistry point of view are essential for future industrial applications.
