- One-pot synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-thiadiazoles from nitriles and thioamides: Via I2-mediated oxidative formation of an N-S bond
-
A simple and practical method for I2-mediated one-pot synthesis of 3-alkyl-5-aryl-1,2,4-thiadiazoles has been developed; the one-pot reaction includes sequential intermolecular addition of thioamides to nitriles, and intramolecular oxidative coupling of N-H and S-H bonds mediated by molecular iodine. Meanwhile the protocol uses readily available nitriles and thioamides as the starting materials, molecular iodine as the oxidant, and generates various 1,2,4-thiadiazoles in moderate to good yields with a wide array of functional groups. This method is an efficient approach for the synthesis of unsymmetrically disubstituted 1,2,4-thiadiazoles.

- Heteroarylnitrones as drugs for neurodegenerative diseases: Synthesis, neuroprotective properties, and free radical scavenger properties
-
New 1,2,4-thiadiazolylnitrones and furoxanylnitrones were developed and evaluated as neuroprotective agents on a human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells model. They inhibited at low micromolar concentrations the oxidative damage and the death induced by exposure to hydrogen peroxide. These heteroarylnitrones showed excellent peroxyl free radical absorbance capacities, analyzed by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay with fluorescein as the fluorescent probe, ranging from 1.5- to 16.5-fold the value of the reference nitrone, α-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN). The electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) demonstrated the ability of these derivatives to directly trap and stabilize oxygen, carbon, and sulfur-centered free radicals. These results demonstrated the potential use of these heteroarylnitrones as neuroprotective agents in preventing the death of cells exposed to enhanced oxidative stress and damage.

- Non-ATP competitive glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) inhibitors: Study of structural requirements for thiadiazolidinone derivatives
-
The 2,4-disubstituted thiadiazolidinones (TDZD) were described as the first non-ATP competitive GSK-3β inhibitors. New modifications in this heterocyclic ring are here reported to study the influence on the biological activity. The basic skeleton of 1,2,4-thiadiazole and also one of the carbonyl groups are kept, while different modifications are introduced in positions 3 and 5, respectively. The GSK-3β activity of the new thiadiazole derivatives here synthesized showed IC50 values for some of the compounds in the micromolar range. Additionally, ATP competition studies have been carried out, showing that as well as the first generation of TDZD, these new compounds act in a non-competitive manner. With this study, additional requirements for the biological activity of the TDZD family have been delineated.
