Abstract
Aim: Thiophene-based heterocycles were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Clostridium difficile and Candida albicans strains. Methods: Antimicrobial activity was determined using the broth microdilution method. Results: Spiro-indoline-oxadiazole 17 displayed the highest activity against C. difficile while having no effects against other bacterial strains. Compounds 8 and 16 displayed strong effects against TolC, an outer membrane protein, mutant E. coli. The results of computational chemical study and outcomes of experiments were in good agreement. A molecular docking study was conducted using a molecular operating environment to simulate the binding energies of the potent compounds with D-alanine ligase protein. Conclusion: This study suggests that spiro-indoline-oxadiazole 17 could be a good anticlostridial agent.

Synthesis, computational chemical study, antiproliferative activity screening, and molecular docking of some thiophene-based oxadiazole, triazole, and thiazolidinone derivatives. RSC Adv 2024; 14:5926-5940.

Abstract
Thiophene-2-carbohydrazide was used in this study to produce some thiophene-containing oxadiazole, triazole, and thiazolidinone derivatives through reactions with various carbon-centered electrophiles. Besides, the hydrazone obtained was allowed to react with mercaptoacetic acid and acetic anhydride to construct thiazolidinone and oxadiazole derivatives. The results of computational chemical study and outcomes of the experiments were in good agreement. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of the produced compounds was examined against two human cell lines namely, breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7) and colon cancer (HCT116) cell lines using doxorubicin as a reference anticancer agent. The produced hydrazones and spiro-indolin-oxadiazole derivatives were the most potent against the two cancer cell lines. The molecular docking was conducted to demonstrate the binding energies of produced substances toward human carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) protein. The binding energies of these ligands were near to that of the co-crystallized ligand (9FK). Compound 11b exhibits a binding energy of -5.5817 kcal mol-1, indicating tight binding to some key nucleobases and amino acids of CA IX protein, while compound 11a displays a higher binding energy compared to the reference ligand (9FK). This suggests that compounds 11b and 11a display a notably strong binding affinity towards the human carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) protein. ADME profiles of the potent compounds including physicochemical characteristics, lipophilicity, and drug-likeness were predicted.

Abstract
The classical Reformatsky reaction, initially described in 1887, is considered one of the most useful ways of forming C-C bonds. The target of this work includes improving the Reformatsky reaction between aroyl isothiocyanates and α-haloesters using metallic zinc to form β-thioxoesters (3-11). In this procedure, a new metal-mediated carbon-carbon linkage is formed with the formation of an organozinc halide and decomposition due to the presence of dilute acid, affording a good yield of the desired product via conventional techniques and ball milling. The Reformatsky reaction requires no solvent and no inert gases.

Abstract
Thiophene, as a member of the group of five-membered heterocycles containing one heteroatom, is one of the simplest heterocyclic systems. Many synthetic strategies allow the accurate positioning of various functionalities onto the thiophene ring. This review provides a comprehensive, systematic and detailed account of the developments in the field of antimicrobial compounds featuring at least one thiophene ring in their structure, over the last decade.

New 1,3,4-Thiadiazole Derivatives with Anticancer Activity. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27061814.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized the 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives differing in the structure of the substituents in C2 and C5 positions. The cytotoxic activity of the obtained compounds was then determined in biological studies using MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and normal cell line (fibroblasts). The results showed that in both breast cancer cell lines, the strongest anti-proliferative activity was exerted by 2-(2-trifluorometylophenylamino)-5-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole. The IC50 values of this compound against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were 49.6 µM and 53.4 µM, respectively. Importantly, all new compounds had weaker cytotoxic activity on normal cell line than on breast cancer cell lines. In silico studies demonstrated a possible multitarget mode of action for the synthesized compounds. The most likely mechanism of action for the new compounds is connected with the activities of Caspase 3 and Caspase 8 and activation of BAX proteins.

Abstract
A green and efficient method was developed for the synthesis of 1,3,4-thiadiazole based compounds under microwave (MW) activation. The nucleophile N-(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thiophene-2-carboxamide (3) was synthesized and reacted with different carbon electrophilic reagents to afford thiadiazolo-pyrimidine or imidazolo-thiadiazoline derivatives (4-6 and 8), respectively. Furthermore, a one-pot reaction of 3 with p-chlorobenzaldehyde and different carbon electrophile/ or nucleophiles under microwave irradiation yields the cyclic thiadiazolo-pyrimidine derivatives 10-15. Additionally, nucleophilic substitution of aromatic amines and/or potassium salts of some heterocyclic compounds with chloroacetamido-thiadiazole 6 yields derivatives 16-20. All the new derivatives were synthesized by both conventional and MW irradiation methods. All the new 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives were evaluated against four cancer cell lines, HepG-2, MCF-7, HCT-116, and PC-3. The anti-proliferative activity of most of the synthesized compounds exhibited excellent broad-spectrum cytotoxic activity against the cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 3.97 to 9.62 μM. Moreover, the enzymatic assessment of five derivatives (2,4b, 6, 8, 9a) against VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase showed significant inhibitory activities with IC50 of 11.5, 8.2, 10.3, 10.5 and 9.4 nM respectively. Further studies revealed the ability of compound 9a to have a strong DNA-binding affinity of 36.06 μM via DNA/methyl green assay. Moreover, molecular docking study was carried out to reveal the binding interactions of compounds in the binding site of VEGFR-2 enzyme explaining the significant inhibitory activity of these derivatives. Finally, ADME/Tox studies was performed to predict the pharmacokinetics of the synthesized compounds.

Abstract
6-(4-Chloro-3-nitrophenyl)-4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (4) was prepared and was reacted with ethyl chloroacetate, hydrazine hydrate, 4-chloroaniline, formaldehyde, acetic anhydride, formic acid, carbon disulfide, 4-cyanobenzaldehyde, triethyl orthoformate, D-sugars, 4-aminoacetophenone, benzoyl choride and cyclohexanone to afford a series of new uracil derivatives (5-18). Examination of some of the prepared compounds for their antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer activities was conducted. Among the tested samples, compound 17 was the most active substance against the gram-positive bacteria and was more potent than the reference drug Cefoperazone. Moreover, the antibacterial activity of 17 was higher against gram-negative bacteria. Compounds 6 and 13 reached a higher scavenging ability toward DPPH radicals and are better candidates for antioxidant activity. Also, compounds 6 and 13 had no significant anticancer activity toward liver cancer (Hep G2) and breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines.
