An electrophile, 1-(4-(bromomethylbenzenesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperidine, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-methylpiperidine (2-pipecoline) and 4-bromomethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride in a weak basic medium under pH control. A series of nucleophiles, 5-aryl/aralkyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-thiols, were synthesized from corresponding carboxylic acids in three steps. The title molecules were synthesized by coupling the electrophile to nucleophiles in an aprotic medium using LiH as an activator. The structures of all synthesized compounds were corroborated through IR, 1H NMR, and EI-MS techniques. All the compounds were screened for their pharmacological behavior, particularly, antibacterial and enzyme inhibitory activities. Notably efficient results were obtained against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains. Regarding enzyme inhibition, compounds were efficient against acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase.

Melanin is a form of pigment that gives colour to human skin, hair and eyes. Whilst it protects against skin damage from the sun, accumulation of excessive amounts of epidermal melanin can lead to various dermatological disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of three selected oxadiazoles on the o-diphenolase mushroom tyrosinase activity and their cytotoxic effects on SK-MEL-28 malignant melanoma cells. The results showed that compounds 1, 2 and 3 exhibited significant inhibition on the diphenolase activity of mushroom tyrosinase with IC50 values of 40.46 μM, 27.42 μM and 32.51 μM, respectively. Further kinetic studies revealed that compounds 1 (Ki = 3.8 μM) and 3 (Ki = 3.9 μM) exhibited a mixed-type inhibition while compound 2 (Ki = 0.7 μM) displayed a competitive-type inhibition as suggested by the Lineweaver-Burk plots. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations were also performed to understand the binding behaviour of compound 2 in the active site of tyrosinase. Finally, all three compounds displayed relatively low cytotoxicity to SK-MEL-28 cells up to 100 μM treatment via MTT assay.

A series of 16 oxadiazole and triazolothiadiazole derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors. Five derivatives were found to display high inhibition on the tyrosinase activity ranging from 0.87 to 1.49 μM. Compound 5 exhibited highest tyrosinase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.87 ± 0.16 μM. The in silico protein-ligand docking using autodock 4.1 was successfully performed on compound 5 with significant binding energy value of -5.58 kcal/mol. The docking results also showed that the tyrosinase inhibition might be due to the metal chelating effect by the presence of thione functionality in compounds 1-5. Further studies revealed that the presence of hydrophobic group such as cycloamine derivatives played a major role in the inhibition. Piperazine moiety in compound 5 appeared to be involved in an extensive hydrophobic contact and a 2.9 hydrogen bonding with residue Glu 182 in the active site.
