One-pot Synthesis, Molecular Modeling and In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Novel 3-(1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-yl) Quinoxaline 1,4-Dioxide and Pyrazolyl Analogs.

The new 1,3,4-oxadiazolylquinoxaline ring system was synthesized by the condensation of the quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide acid hydrazide 6 with acetyl chloride in one-pot synthesis. In which the hydrazide was refluxed in excess of acetyl chloride, acetic anhydride or acetic acid in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride forming the 1,3,4-oxadiazolylquinoxaline ring system. Molecular modeling studies have been performed to evaluate their recognition at the hDHFR binding-pocket as potential hDHFR inhibitors.
