- Design, synthesis, and evaluation of substituted 2-acylamide-1,3-benzo[d]zole analogues as agents against MDR- and XDR-MTB
-
N-(5-Chlorobenzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)-4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carboxamideox-amide has been identified as a potent inhibitor of Mtb H37Rv, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.42 μM. In this study, a series of substituted 2-acylamide-1,3-zole analogues were designed and synthesized, and their anti-Mtb activities were analyzed. In total, 17 compounds were found to be potent anti-Mtb agents, especially against the MDR- and XDR-MTB strains, with MIC values 10 μM. These analogues can inhibit both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant Mtb. Four representative compounds were selected for further profiling, and the results indicate that compound 18 is acceptably safe and has favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) properties. In addition, this compound displays potent activity against Gram-positive bacteria, with MIC values in the range of 1.48–11.86 μM. The data obtained herein suggest that promising anti-Mtb candidates may be developed via structural modification, and that further research is needed to explore other compounds.

- Benzothiazolyl ureas are low micromolar and uncompetitive inhibitors of 17Β-HSD10 with implications to Alzheimer’s disease treatment
-
Human 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 10 is a multifunctional protein involved in many enzymatic and structural processes within mitochondria. This enzyme was suggested to be involved in several neurological diseases, e.g., mental retardation, Parkinson’s disease, or Alzheimer’s disease, in which it was shown to interact with the amyloid-beta peptide. We prepared approximately 60 new compounds based on a benzothiazolyl scaffold and evaluated their inhibitory ability and mechanism of action. The most potent inhibitors contained 3-chloro and 4-hydroxy substitution on the phenyl ring moiety, a small substituent at position 6 on the benzothiazole moiety, and the two moieties were connected via a urea linker (4at, 4bb, and 4bg). These compounds exhibited IC50 values of 1–2 μM and showed an uncompetitive mechanism of action with respect to the substrate, acetoacetyl-CoA. These uncompetitive benzothiazolyl inhibitors of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 10 are promising compounds for potential drugs for neurodegenerative diseases that warrant further research and development.

- Synthesis of Cyanamides via a One-Pot Oxidation-Cyanation of Primary and Secondary Amines
-
An operationally simple oxidation-cyanation method for the synthesis of cyanamides is described. The procedure utilizes inexpensive and commercially available N-chlorosuccinimide and Zn(CN)2 as reagents to avoid direct handling of toxic cyanogen halides. It is demonstrated to be amenable for the cyanation of a variety of primary and secondary amines and aniline derivatives as well as a complex synthetic intermediate en route to verubecestat (MK-8931). Additionally, kinetic measurements and other control experiments are reported to shed light onto the mechanism of this cyanation reaction.

- 2-Aminobenzoxazole ligands of the hepatitis C virus internal ribosome entry site
-
2-Aminobenzoxazoles have been synthesized as ligands for the hepatitis C virus (HCV) internal ribosome entry site (IRES) RNA. The compounds were designed to explore the less basic benzoxazole system as a replacement for the core scaffold in previously discovered benzimidazole viral translation inhibitors. Structure-activity relationships in the target binding of substituted benzoxazole ligands were investigated.

- Ring Contraction of 1,2,4-Benzoxadiazines to Benzoxazoles
-
1,2,4-Benzoxadiazines (1) undergo a ring contraction to benzoxazoles (2) on heating.Other products of the reaction have been identified as nitrogen and ammonia.A mechanism is suggested for this reaction which involves (i) electrocyclic ring opening to an o-benzoquinone imine, (ii) recyclisation to a diaziridine, and (iii) extrusion of a nitrene fragment.Evidence is presented which is consistent with this proposal: thus, the benzoxazole (7) is produced on heating 3,5-di-t-butyl-o-benzoquinone with benzamidine and 4-nitrobenzoylnitrene is intercepted as the ylide (11) from the thermolysis of the substituted benzoxadiazine (10).
