Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Thioredoxin glutathione reductase of Schistosoma mansoni (SmTGR) is a validated drug target that plays a crucial role in the redox homeostasis of the parasite. We report the discovery of new chemical scaffolds against S. mansoni using a combi-QSAR approach followed by virtual screening of a commercial dat...

The thermal reaction of olefins with nitrous oxide was recently put forward as a promising synthetic ketone source. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N(2)O to the C=C double bond, forming a 4,5-dihydro-[1,2,3]oxadiazole intermediate, was predicted to be the first elementary reaction step. This oxadiazole can subsequently decompose to the desired carbonyl product and N(2)via a hydrogen shift. In ...

The fluorescence and phosphorescence of 2,2'-bis(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)biphenyl shows good spectral matching with the absorption spectra of the MLCT1 and MLCT3 transitions of Ir(ppy)3. The red-shift of the 0-0 band in the phosphorescence at 77 K is due to the intramolecular pi-pi interactions between the oxadiazole side chains. Maximum brightness of 43,000 cd/m2 with an efficiency of 26...

In the title compound {systematic name: 4-[2,3-dibromo-3-(4-bromo-phen-yl)propano-yl]-3-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-1,2,3-oxa-dia-zol-3-ylium-5-olate}, C(18)H(13)Br(3)N(2)O(4), the central oxadiazole ring, which is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.016 (3) Å, makes dihedral angles of 29.98 (16) and 52.04 (16)°, respectively, with the terminal bromo-substituted and meth-oxy-substituted b...
