A series of new ferulic acid derivatives bearing an oxadiazole ether was synthesized by introducing a structure of oxadiazole into trans-ferulic acid via an ether linkage. The synthesized target compounds were evaluated in vivo for their anti-TMV (tobacco mosaic virus) activity, which indicated that some synthesized compounds displayed strong activity for controlling TMV. For protective activity, compounds 6f and 6h had the most activities of 65% and 69.8% at 500 mg L, respectively. Compounds 6a, 6b, 6e, 6f and 6h showed > 60% curative activities at 500 mg L. Preliminary proteomics analysis showed that compound 6h could regulate the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway and chloroplast function. These results indicated that synthesized novel ferulic acid derivatives could be used for controlling TMV.

Article Synopsis
  • The research focuses on creating hybrid compounds that combine indole and oxadiazole to develop new, effective anti-diabetic agents.
  • A total of 15 compounds were synthesized, and their structures were characterized using C-NMR, H-NMR, and HREI-MS techniques, with their activity against diabetic enzymes α-amylase and α-glucosidase tested.
  • The most promising compound, a fluoro-substituted analog, showed significantly better inhibition than the standard drug acarbose, highlighting the potential of these compounds for future diabetes treatments.

Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer diagnosed in women, accounting for most cancer-related fatalities globally. Numerous investigations have revealed that breast cancer is characterized by abnormal expression and maintenance of EGFR levels. In terms of structural study and optimization of several EGFR inhibitors, two series of oxadiazole bearing imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized as potential EGFR inhibitors and assessed for their antitumor activity at NCI-USA.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a formidable global health challenge. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections are of primary concern due to diminishing treatment options and high morbidity and mortality. Colistin, a polymyxin family antibiotic, is a last-resort treatment for MDR Gram-negative infections, but its wider use has resulted in escalating resistance.

Photoinduced Copper-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Acylsilanes with Heteroarenes via Bimetallic Relay.

The transition metal-catalyzed direct coupling reactions involving electron-rich Fischer carbene species are largely underdeveloped and remain a big challenge. Here, a direct coupling reaction of azoles and azine N-oxides is reported with Fischer copper carbene species bearing an α-siloxy group i, which can be in situ generated from acylsilanes catalytically under photoirradiation and redox-neutral conditions. This coupling reaction between electron-rich α-siloxy Fischer Cu-carbene species with hard carbanion nucleophiles may undergo a bimetallic relay process, which is confirmed by the kinetic analysis and in situ NMR analysis.
