Synthesis and antioxidant activity of styrylsulfonylmethyl 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, pyrazolyl/isoxazolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles.

A new class of mono and bis heterocycles-styrylsulfonylmethyl 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, pyrazolyl/isoxazolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were prepared and studied their antioxidant activity. The compound methyl substituted 2-(p-methylphenylamino-sulfonylmethyl)-5-[Z-(p-methylstyrylsulfonylmethyl)]-1,3,4-oxadiazole displayed slightly higher antioxidant activity than the standard ascorbic acid.

Synthesis and antioxidant activity of a new class of bis and tris heterocycles.

A series of novel heterocycles, bisbenzoxazolyl/benzothiazolyl/benzimidazolyl pyrazoles/isoxazoles/pyrimidines were synthesized and evaluated for their antioxidant activity. The bisbenzoxazolylisoxazole 10 exhibited good antioxidant activity when compared with the standard ascorbic acid.

The reactivity of gem cyanoester ketene dithiolates towards the development of potent antioxidant heterocycles.

The reactivity of gem cyanoester ketene dithiolates towards the development of a variety of heterocycles was studied and tested for antioxidant property. The compounds bis benzoxazolylmethylthiomethylene pyrazoles and isoxazoles displayed excellent radical scavenging activity when compared with the standard ascorbic acid.

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of pyrrolyl/pyrazolyl arylaminosulfonylmethyl 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles and 1,2,4-triazoles.

A new class of pyrrolyl/pyrazolyl arylaminosulfonylmethyl 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, and 1,2,4-triazoles were prepared and tested for antimicrobial activity. Amongst the tested compounds, 5c displayed high antimicrobial activity.
