A series of N-(substituted benzothiazole-2-yl)-2-(2,3-dioxoindolin-1-yl)acetamide (4a-i) and substituted-[3-((5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl)imino)indolene-2-one] (5a-f) were designed, synthesized fulfilling the structural requirement of pharmacophore and evaluated for anticonvulsant activities using maximal electroshock test (MES), subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) seizures and neurotoxicity by motor impairment model in mice. The most active compoundN-(5-chlorobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-(2,3-dioxoindolin-1-yl)acetamide (4a) has shown significant anticonvulsant activity against both MES and scPTZ screens and emerged as most effective anticonvulsant compound with median dose of 35.7 mg/kg (MES ED50), 88.15 mg/kg (scPTZ ED50) and toxic dose (TD50) was found to be > 500mg/kg. In silico studies including molecular docking study was carried to establish the molecular interaction of potent compound (4a) in both Na+ channel and GABAA receptors. The prediction of pharmacokinetic parameters and distance mapping of compounds were also performed to establish the drug likeness property.

Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of healthcare-associated infection in the U.S. and considered an urgent threat by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Only two antibiotics, vancomycin and fidaxomicin, are FDA-approved for the treatment of C. difficile infection (CDI), but these therapies still suffer from high treatment failure and recurrence. Therefore, new chemical entities to treat CDI are needed. Trifluoromethylthio-containing N-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)benzamides displayed very potent activities [sub-μg/mL minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values] against Gram-positive bacteria. Here, we report remarkable antibacterial activity enhancement via halogen substitutions, which afforded new anti-C. difficile agents with ultrapotent activities [MICs as low as 0.003 μg/mL (0.007 μM)] that surpassed the activity of vancomycin against C. difficile clinical isolates. The most promising compound in the series, HSGN-218, is nontoxic to mammalian colon cells and is gut-restrictive. In addition, HSGN-218 protected mice from CDI recurrence. Not only does this work provide a potential clinical lead for the development of C. difficile therapeutics but also highlights dramatic drug potency enhancement via halogen substitution.

A series of hydrazinecarboxamide derivatives were synthesized and examined against urease for their inhibitory activity. Among the series, the 1-(3-fluorobenzylidene)semicarbazide (4a) (IC50 = 0.52 ± 0.45 μM), 4u (IC50 = 1.23 ± 0.32 μM) and 4h (IC50 = 2.22 ± 0.32 μM) were found most potent. Furthermore, the molecular docking study was also performed to demonstrate the binding mode of the active hydrazinecarboxamide with the enzyme, urease. In order to estimate drug likeness of compounds, in silico ADME evaluation was carried out. All compounds exhibited favorable ADME profiles with good predicted oral bioavailability.
