Thymidylate synthase (TS) has emerged as a hot spot in cancer treatment, as it is directly involved in DNA synthesis. In the present article, nine hybrids containing 1,2,3-triazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole moieties (6–14) were synthesized and evaluated for anticancer and in vitro thymidylate synthase activities. According to in silico pharmacokinetic studies, the synthesized hybrids exhibited good drug likeness properties and bioavailability. The cytotoxicity results indicated that compounds 12 and 13 exhibited remarkable inhibition on the tested Michigan Cancer Foundation (MCF-7) and Human colorectal Carcinoma (HCT-116) cell lines. Compound 12 showed four-fold inhibition to a standard drug, 5-fluoruracil, and comparable inhibition to tamoxifen, whereas compound 13 exerted five-fold activity of tamoxifen and 24-fold activity of 5-fluorouracil for MCF-7 cells. Compounds 12 and 13 inhibited thymidylate synthase enzyme, with an half maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50 of 2.52 μM and 4.38 μM, while a standard drug, pemetrexed, showed IC50 = 6.75 μM. The molecular docking data of compounds 12 and 13 were found to be in support of biological activities data. In conclusion, hybrids (12 and 13) may inhibit thymidylate synthase enzyme, which could play a significant role as a chemotherapeutic agent.

Phenylthio heterocyclic compounds are widely used because of their diverse biological activities and medicinal prospects. Here, a facile method was reported. An arylation of 1,3,4-oxa(thia)diazol-2-thiones reacting with arynes to build C(aryl)-S bonds in the presence of CsF had good yields and excellent selectivity. The reaction was completed in short time without using expensive reagents and catalysts. Present reaction system is an efficient procedure to process phenylthio heterocyclic compounds and reveals a sustainable method and better application prospects in future organic synthesis.

Abstract: One of the goals of green chemistry is to use environmentally friendly solvents or remove and reduce the volume of harmful spent solvents. In this study, a novel process for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol derivatives was proposed via ultrasound-assisted reaction of aryl hydrazides with CS2 (1:1 molar ratio) in some drops of DMF in the absence of basic or acidic catalysts. They were produced in good to excellent yields under easy workup and purification conditions. In order to prove the usefulness of the prepared compounds, their antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal potentials were screened by DPPH free radical scavenging, serial twofold microdilution and streak plate methods. Acceptable to significant inhibitory activities were observed with synthesized heterocycles. The results showed that 5-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (3c) is an broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. Many of them displayed remarkable antioxidant properties comparable to standard controls (ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol). Synthesized 1,3,4-oxadiazoles are also potent candidates to treat cancer, Parkinson, inflammatory, and diabetes diseases. Graphic Abstract: Eighteen 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol derivatives as potent antimicrobial and antioxidant agents were prepared via a new, efficient and green procedure.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

In this research work, we have designed and synthesized some biologically useful of 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles. The structural interpretation of the synthesized compounds has been validated by using FT-IR, LC-MS, HRMS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR techniques. Moreover, the in-vitro mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory potential of the target compounds was assessed. The in-vitro study reveals that, all compounds demonstrate an excellent tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Especially, 2-(5-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylthio)-N-phenylacetamide (IC50 = 0.003 ± 0.00 μM) confirms much more significant potent inhibition activity compared with standard drug kojic acid (IC50 = 16.83 ± 1.16 μM). Subsequently, the most potent five oxadiazole compounds were screened for cytotoxicity study against B16F10 melanoma cells using an MTT assay method. The survival rate for the most potent compound was more pleasant than other compounds. Furthermore, the western blot results proved that the most potent compound considerably decreased the expression level of tyrosinase at 50 μM (P 0.05). The molecular docking investigation exposed that the utmost potent compound displayed the significant interactions pattern within the active region of the tyrosinase enzyme and which might be responsible for the decent inhibitory activity towards the enzyme. A molecular dynamic simulation experiment was presented to recognize the residual backbone stability of protein structure.
