Abstract
Aiming to develop novel anticonvulsant agents a new series of novel cycloalkanecarboxamide parabanic acid hybrids series 8, 9 and 10 possessing the essential structure requirements for anticonvulsant activity was synthesized starting from cycloalkanones. All final target compounds were primary screened for chemically and electrically induced seizures using pentylenetetrazole “scPTZ” and maximal electroshock seizure “MES” models. In phase I anticonvulsant evaluation compounds 8b and 10b exhibited the highest potency among all the target compounds with 100% protection towards chemically induced seizures. Results of phase II anticonvulsant screening showed that compounds 8b and 10b are more potent than standard drug ethosuximide by about 11 and 9 fold, respectively. Regarding MES test, compounds 8b and 9a-d exhibited 100% protection with ED50 values ranged between 0.107–0.177 mmol/Kg. All final compounds did not display any signs of motor impairment in the neurotoxicity screening test. Also, compounds 8a, 9a-d and 10b were devoid of hepatotoxicity as shown by measurement of serum levels of liver enzymes, albumin as well as total protein. Moreover, the cyclohexyl derivative 10b produced a significant increase of Gamma-aminobutyric acid “GABA” brain’s content of mice compared to control group confirmed its GABAergic modulating activity. Molecular docking, physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties were carried out for all compounds as well. These outcomes support that cycloalkanecarboxamide parabanic acid hybrid is a promising scaffold to pave the way towards further development of novel class of antiepileptic drugs.

Abstract
Inflammatory disorders are the prime contributor to public health issue and the development of more effective and safer anti-inflammatory drugs in addition to other therapeutic alternatives to treat inflammatory illnesses, particularly chronic inflammatory diseases, is one of the foremost current issues. In this regard, our present work is concerned with the synthesis of a new series of N-alkyl/aralkyl/aryl derivatives (7a-o) of 5-((p-tolyloxymethyl)-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-ylthio)propionamide which was instigated by the successive conversions of p-tolyloxyacetic acid into ester, hydrazide and 5-(p-tolyloxymethyl)-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol. The planned compounds (7a-o) were attained by the reaction of 5-(p-tolyloxymethyl)-4H-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol with variety of N-alkyl/aralkyl/aryl electrophiles in potassium hydroxide and were characterized by FTIR, 1H-, 13C-NMR spectroscopy, EI-MS and HR-EI-MS spectrometry and probed for their inhibiting potential against soybean 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) enzyme. The compounds 7a, 7n, 7 g, 7e, 7h, 7i, 7j and 7b promulgated the potent inhibiting potential with IC50 values 9.43 ± 0.45, 16.75 ± 0.49, 19.45 ± 0.37, 21.32 ± 0.46, 22.64 ± 0.56, 23.53 ± 0.62, 24.32 ± 0.45 and 29.15 ± 0.57 µM, respectively, while excellent to good inhibitory activities were shown by 7o, 7 m, 7k, 7f, 7c, 7 l and 7d with IC50 values in the range 30.29 ± 0.56 to 52.54 ± 0.64 µM. Compounds 7i-o maintained 91.12 ± 1.5 to 98.23 ± 1.2% blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) viability at 0.25 mM by MTT assay whilst compounds 7d-h observed 46.51 ± 1.3 to 57.12 ± 1.4% viability where as the most toxic compounds were 7b (12.51 ± 1.4%), 7a (28.12 ± 1.5%) and 7c (38.23 ± 1.5%) as compared with controls. Pharmacokinetic profiles predicted good oral bioavailability and drug-likeness properties of molecules as per rule of five. Molecular docking studies displayed hydrogen bonding between the compounds and the enzyme with Arg378 which was common in 7n, 7 g, 7h and baicalein. In 7a and quercetin, hydrogen bonding was established through Asn375; Tyr512 and Val589 were also involved in bonding with other analogues. RMSD (root mean square deviation) values exhibited good inhibitory profiles in the order quercetin (0.73 Å)<7 g (0.98 Å)

Abstract
Background The use of antibiotics with or without prescription is increasing worldwide. With certain limitations, metronidazole (MTZ) is extensively used as an antibacterial and antiparasitic drug. Derivatives of 1,2,4-oxadiazole (ODZ) are used to modify the chemical structure of drugs. The present study aimed to synthesize new MTZ-ODZ derivatives that could potentially lead to new medications. Methods The reaction of MTZ with ethyl chloroacetate and potassium carbonate anhydrous was used to produce compound 7. This compound was treated with hydrazine hydrate in methanol to obtain compound 8. Carbon disulfide and potassium hydroxide were then added to obtain compound 9, which was then mixed with various α-haloketones to obtain compounds 10a to 10f. Subsequently, the structures of the new MTZ-ODZ derivatives were determined. Results All new compounds exhibited excellent activity against all tested organisms. The synthesized compounds showed a significant radical scavenging activity. The IC50 value for compounds 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f was 70.42±0.15, 70.52±0.54, 85.21±0.85, 80.10±0.46, 82.52±0.13, and 70.45±0.12 g/mL, respectively. In terms of antigiardial activity, the IC50 value for compounds 10a,10b, 10c, and 10d ranged from 1.31±0.11 µM to 2.26±0.49 µM. In contrast, the IC50 for MTZ was 3.71±0.27 µM. Compound 10f showed the highest antigiardial activity with an IC50 value of 0.88±0.52 µM. Conclusion Most of the MTZ-ODZ derivatives showed high radical scavenging activity in the benzene ring due to the activation of certain groups, such as OCH3, NO2, and OH. The results suggest that the newly synthesized compounds could be used as an antiparasitic drug.

Abstract
New S-alkyl phthalimide 5a-f and S-benzyl 6a-d analogs of 5-(2-phenylquinolin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (4) were prepared by reacting 4 with N-bromoalkylphthalimide and CF3-substituted benzyl bromides in excellent yields. Spectroscopic techniques were employed to elucidate the structures of the synthesized molecules. The inhibition activity of newly synthesized molecules toward MAO-A, MAO-B, and AChE enzymes, was also assessed. All these compounds showed activity in the submicromolar range against all enzymes. Compounds 5a and 5f were found to be the most potent compounds against MAO-A (IC50 = 0.91 ± 0.15 nM) and MAO-B (IC50 = 0.84 ± 0.06 nM), while compound 5c showed the most efficient acetylcholinesterase inhibition (IC50 = 1.02± 0.65 μM). Docking predictions disclosed the docking poses of the synthesized molecules with all enzymes and demonstrated the outstanding potency of compounds 5a, 5f, and 5c (docking scores = -11.6, -15.3, and -14.0 kcal/mol against MAO-A, MAO-B, and AChE, respectively). These newly synthesized analogs act as up-and-coming candidates for the creation of safer curative use against Alzheimer's illness.

Abstract
A two-step tandem protocol was used to prepare new pyrrole and/or arene-linked bis(1,3,4-oxadiazoles) as well as their mono-analogues. The appropriate aldehydes and benzohydrazides were first condensed in ethanol at 80 °C to yield the corresponding N-benzoylhydrazones. Without isolation, the previous intermediates were subjected to a chloramine trihydrate-mediated oxidative cyclization in DMSO at 180 °C to yield the target molecules. The antibacterial potency of the (pyrrole-arene)-linked hybrids exceeded the arene-linked hybrids, and the bis(1,3,4-oxadiazoles) exceeded their mono-analogues against six different ATCC strains. Furthermore, the antibacterial efficacy of bis(1,3,4-oxadiazoles) 11c, and 11f, which are linked to pyrrole, and (p-tolylthio)methyl units, was highest against S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa strains. Their MIC ranged between 3.8 and 3.9 µM, while their MBC values ranged between 7.7 and 15.8 µM. Additionally, they showed promising bacterial biofilm inhibitory activity against the same strains tested, with IC50 values ranging from 4.7 to 5.3 μM. They were also effective against MRSA ATCC:33591, and ATCC:43300 strains, with MIC, and MBC values ranging from 3.8-7.9 and 7.7-15.8 μM, respectively. When tested against the MCF-10A cell line, hybrids 11c, and 11f are cytotoxic at concentrations that are more than 6 and 13-fold higher than their MIC values against the S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa strains, respectively. This lends support to both hybrids' potential as safe antibacterial agents.

Abstract
The bioisosteres of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles are well-known pharmacophores for many medicinally important drugs. Throughout the past 10 years, 1,3,4-oxa-/thiadiazole nuclei have been very attractive to researchers for drug design, synthesis, and the study of their potential activity towards a variety of diseases, including microbial and viral infections, cancer, diabetes, pain, and inflammation. This work is an up-to-date comparative study that identifies the differences between 1,3,4-thiadiazoles and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles concerning their methods of synthesis from different classes of starting compounds under various reaction conditions, as well as their biological activities and structure–activity relationship.

Abstract
A small library of 2-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl]-5-(alkylthio)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles was prepared, starting from indole-3-acetic acid methyl ester and its 5-methyl-substituted derivative. The synthetic route involved the formation of intermediate hydrazides, their condensation with carbon disulfide, and intramolecular cyclization to corresponding 5-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thiones. The latter were then S-alkylated, and in case of ester derivatives, they were further hydrolyzed into corresponding carboxylic acids. All 5-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thiones and their S-alkylated derivatives were then screened for their protective effects in vitro and in vivo. Methyl substitution on the indole ring and propyl, butyl, or benzyl substitution on sulfhydryl group-possessing compounds were revealed to protect Friedreich's ataxia fibroblasts against the effects of glutathione depletion induced by the γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase inhibitor, buthionine sulfoximine. Two of the active compounds also reproducibly increased the survival of Caenorhabditis elegans exposed to juglone-induced oxidative stress.
