Nineteen 3,5-disubstituted-isoxazole analogs were synthesized based on nitrofuran scaffolds, by a [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between terminal acetylenes and 5-nitrofuran chloro-oxime. The compounds were obtained in moderate to very good yields (45–91%). The antileishmanial activity was assayed against the promastigote and amastigote forms of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis. Alkylchlorinated compounds 14p–r were active on both the promastigote and amastigote forms, with emphasis on compound 14p, which showed strong activity against the amastigote form (IC50 = 0.6 μM and selectivity index [SI] = 5.2). In the alkyl series, compound 14o stands out with an IC50 = 8.5 μM and SI = 8.0 on the amastigote form. In the aromatic series, the most active compounds were those containing electron-donor groups, such as trimethoxy isoxazole 14g (IC50 = 1.2 μM and SI = 20.2); compound 14h, with IC50 = 7.0 μM and SI = 6.1; and compound 14j containing the 4-SCH3 group, with IC50 = 5.7 μM and SI = 10.2. In addition, the antifungal activity of 19 nitrofuran isoxazoles was evaluated against five strains of Candida (C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. krusei, C. tropicalis, and C. glabrata). Eleven isoxazole derivatives were active against C. parapsilosis, and compound 14o was found to be the most active (minimal inhibitory concentration [MIC] = 3.4 μM) for this strain. Compound 14p was active against all the strains tested, with an MIC = 17.5 μM for C. glabrata, lower than that of the fluconazole used as the reference drug.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to human health. So this manuscript describes the synthesis of five different 3,5-disubstituted 4,5-dihydroisoxazoles with antimicrobial activity. Methods: They were obtained from nitrile oxide cycloaddition derived from 2-furaldehyde and 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde to different dipolarophiles (acrylamide, ethyl acrylate and styrene). All heterocycles were isolated (30-50 %) and characterized by FTIR, MS,1H and13C NMR, as they were also evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Results and Conclusion: All products showed bioactivity against all bacteria, however, the heterocycle 3-(5-nitro-2-furanyl)-5-carboxylamide-4,5-dihydroisoxazole (6b) presented the lowest value for the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC - 14 μg/mL).
From chemistry to biology: Furanic complexes as samples

In order to demonstrate the links between chemistry and biology, some biological properties of a few furanic compounds have been described, starting from the synthesis and the structural characteristics. Also some features of the furan compounds with oximes; semicarbazones and thiosemicarbazones have been pointed out.
