The in vitro metabolism of 1-[2-(5-tert-butyl-[1,3,4] oxadiazole-2-carbonyl)-4-fluoro-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-2-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethyl-ethylamino)-ethanone (LC15-0133), a novel dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, was investigated using a hepatic microsomal system. The structures of the metabolites were characterized using mass spectral analysis and by comparison with synthetic references. The in vitro ...

Over the last ten years, the nematic phases of liquid crystals formed from bent-core structures have provoked considerable research because of their remarkable properties. This Minireview summarises some recent measurements of the physical properties of these systems, as well as describing some new data. We concentrate on oxadiazole-based materials as exemplars of this class of nematogens, but ...

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...

Some new heterocyclic compounds containing isoxazole, pyrazole and oxadiazole ring systems were prepared from various chalcones. The synthesized compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis and spectral methods. These compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities.

A novel series of 2-[3-(4-bromophenyl)propan-3-one]-5-(substituted phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (4a-n) have been synthesized from 3-(4-bromobenzoyl)propionic acid (3) with the aim to get better anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents with minimum or without side effects (ulcerogenicity). Compound 3 was reacted with several aryl acid hydrazides (2a-n) in phosphorous oxychloride to obtain the title c...

As a part of our ongoing research in the exploration of novel antimicrobial agents, we report herein novel synthesis of hybrid molecules 4-methyl-7-(2-oxo-2-(5-(substitutedthio)-1,3,4oxadiazol-2-yl)ethoxy)-2H-chromen-2-ones and 4-substitutedbenzylidene-3-methyl-1-(2-((4methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy)acetyl)-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-ones by combining coumarin ring with 1,3,4-oxadiazole and pyrazole sc...
