A new series of bis-thioureas (4a-4j) was synthesized and characterized through spectroscopic and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds 4a-4j were subjected to acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) inhibition activity and free radical scavenging activity. The results of AChE inhibition assay were found to be active in inhibiting the target enzyme with different IC50 values. Among all derivatives, the 4 g showed highly potent inhibition potential against AChE enzyme with IC50 value of 0.1761±0.00768 μM, which is several times better than the reference inhibitor neostigmine methylsulfate IC50 2.469±0.069 μM. The initial structure-activity relationship (SAR) of 4 g revealed dual hydrogen bonding ability (donor and acceptor). Moreover, the electronic environment around the aromatic ring also greatly influenced the enzyme inhibition of AChE. To further explore the newly synthesized AChE inhibitors, kinetic studies were carried out to determine the mode of inhibition and it was found to be competitive inhibition. Pharmacokinetic predictions (ADMET parameters) were also evaluated and compounds showed good lead-like potential with little hepatotoxic and no skin-sensitive effects. The molecular docking studies delineated the binding affinity of the ligands with target protein and showed docking scores in the range of -10.3 to -7.6 kcal/mol.

Electrophilic bromination of the title compounds may be achieved using either bromine in oleum, or bromine and potassium bromate in a sulphuric-acetic acid mixture.Under the milder reaction conditions provided by the latter, 2-(p-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (2), the model compound used in this study, is mono- and di-brominated in the phenyl ring.In the first bromination step, all three monobromo-isomers are produced in appreciable amount.The orientation of the second bromination is controlled entirely by the first bromine and not by the oxadiazole substituent: this is confirmed by a separate study of the bromination of the three monobromo-compounds (3a-3c).
