- Relationship between the structure of newly synthesized derivatives of 1,3,4-oxadiazole containing 2-methylphenol and their antioxidant and antibacterial activities
-
1,3,4-oxadiazole-5-thion ring(2) successfully formed at position six of 2-methylphenol and five of their thioalkyl(3a-e). Furthermore 6-(5-(Aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-2-methylphenol (5a-i) were formed at position six by two method. The first method was f

- Synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular docking studies of pyrazolyl-acylhydrazone derivatives as novel anticancer agents
-
A series of pyrazolyl-acylhydrazone derivatives (1e-20e) have been designed and synthesized and their biologic activities were also evaluated for telomerase inhibition and tumor cell antiproliferation. Among all the compounds, 12e showed the most potent activity in vitro, which inhibited the growth of MCF-7 and B16-F10 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.57 ± 0.03 and 0.49 ± 0.07 μM, respectively. Compound 12e also exhibited significant telomerase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 1.9 ± 0.43 μM). The result of flow cytometry demonstrated that compound 12e induced cell apoptosis. Docking simulation was performed to insert compound 12e into the crystal structure of telomerase at ATP binding site to determine the probable binding model. Based on the preliminary results, compound 12e with potent inhibitory activity in tumor growth may be a potential anticancer agent.

- Novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether derivatives targeting thymidylate synthase as dual anticancer/antimicrobial agents
-
A series of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole thioether derivatives (compounds 9-44) were designed and synthesized as potential inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS) and as anticancer agents. The in vitro anticancer activities of these compounds were evaluated against three cancer cell lines by the MTT method. Among all the designed compounds, compound 18 bearing a nitro substituent exhibited more potent in vitro anticancer activities with IC50 values of 0.7 ± 0.2, 30.0 ± 1.2, 18.3 ± 1.4 μM, respectively, which was superior to the positive control. In the further study, it was identified as the most potent inhibitor against two kinds of TS protein (for human TS and Escherichia coli TS, IC50 values: 0.62 and 0.47 μM, respectively) in the TS inhibition assay in vitro and the most potent antibacterial agents with MIC (minimum inhibitory concentrations) of 1.56-3.13 μg/mL against the tested four bacterial strains. Molecular docking and 3D-QSAR study supported that compound 18 can be selected as dual antitumor/antibacterial candidate in the future study.
