A series of 2-(substituted-phenyl)-5-(N,N-diphenylaminomethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (3-15) were synthesized. The compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation actions. The percentage inhibition in edema at different time intervals indicated that compounds 8, 11, 12, 14 and 15 exhibited good anti-inflammatory potential. The results illustrate th...

The structure-activity relationship (SAR) for the newly discovered oxadiazole class of antibiotics is described with evaluation of 120 derivatives of the lead structure. This class of antibiotics was discovered by in silico docking and scoring against the crystal structure of a penicillin-binding protein. They impair cell-wall biosynthesis and exhibit activities against the Gram-positive bacter...

A series of five-membered heterocyclic rings were synthesized by the reaction between benzoyl chloride and various chlolro-nitro-benzoyl chlorides and semi carbazide to form (C1- C7) compounds and was tested for their anti-inflammatory activity determined by rat-paw-oedema method. All the synthesis compounds have been characterized by (1)HNMR, IR and Mass spectral data. The compounds were purif...

The syntheses of two new ligands, 3,4-di(2-pyridyl)-1,2,5-oxadiazole (dpo) and 3,4-di(2-pyridyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazole (dpt), are described. Complexes with palladium and copper have seven-membered chelate rings with coordination through the two pyridine nitrogens, whereas in the silver nitrate complex of dpt the ligand acts as a bridge between metal centres. Studies of the mononuclear ruthenium com...

In current study, the synthesis and characterization of novel thermally stable polyimides (PIs) containing an 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety based on a diamine, i.e. 2,5-bis(3-amino-4-methyl benzene)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (BAMO), have been reported. The polymers were characterized using FT-IR and elemental analysis (CHN). Thermal and mechanical behaviours of the prepared PIs were studied by thermo-gravimet...

Cancer continues to have overwhelming impacts on human health and the development of new chemotherapeutics. Molecular hybridization has thus been valued as a structure-based drug design approach drugs with enhanced efficacy. Herein, we report multistep synthesis quinoline–2-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazole conjugates their cytotoxicity evaluation. Compound 4j 2-[(5-bromopentyl)thio]-5-[(quinolin-8-ylo...

Photogenerated azaxylylenes undergo intramolecular cycloadditions to 1,3,4-oxadiazole pendants, which are accompanied by concomitant release of dinitrogen, yielding functionalized ketopiperazinoquinolinols containing an oxirane moiety fused to the quinolinole moiety while spiro-connected to diketopiperazine. These primary photoproducts are reactive versatile intermediates which can be further d...

Two series of novel fraxinellone-based thioethers containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety were prepared as insecticidal agents against the oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata Walker. The structural assignment was based on the spectroscopic and X-ray analysis data. Among all the target compounds, compounds 4b, 4k, 5b, 5j and 5k exhibited more potent insecticidal activity with final mortality rates (...

In the title compound, C(18)H(16)ClN(3)O(5)S(2), the dihedral angles between the oxadiazole ring and the phenyl and chloro-benzene rings are 23.4 (2) and 45.4 (2)°, respectively. The C-S-N-C and C(ox)-C-S-C (ox = oxadiazole) torsion angles are 89.3 (5) and -69.1 (3)°, respectively. A short intra-molecular C-H⋯O contact closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen...

Derivatives of 2,5-diaryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole are used widely for electron transport in organic light emitting diodes (OLED). This study addresses the structure of 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PPD) molecules on Cu(111) using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density function theory (DFT): at incomplete coverage, PPD molecules are found horizontally on the surface; once the surface area is ...
