Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the main etiological agents causing foodborne diseases, and the development of new antibacterial agents is urgent. This study evaluated the antibacterial activity and the possible mechanism of action of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole LMM6 against S. aureus. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of LMM6 ranged from 1.95 to 7.81 µg ml-1. The time-kill assay showed that 48-h treatment at 1× to 8× MIC reduced S. aureus by 4 log colony forming unit (CFU), indicating a bacteriostatic effect. Regarding the possible mechanism of action of LMM6, there was accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and an increase in the absorption of crystal violet (∼50%) by the cells treated with LMM6 at 1× and 2× MIC for 6-12 h. In addition, there was increased propidium iodide uptake (∼84%) after exposure to LMM6 for 12 h at 2× MIC. After 48 h of treatment, 100% of bacteria had been injured. Scanning electron microscopy observations demonstrated that LMM6-treated cells were smaller compared with the untreated group. LMM6 exhibited bacteriostatic activity and its mechanism of action involves increase of intracellular ROS and disturbance of the cell membrane, which can be considered a key target for controlling the growth of S. aureus.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the biggest challenges for the scientific community in the 21st century. With the increasing number of cases of diabetes and drug-resistant diabetes, there is an urgent need to develop new potent molecules capable of combating this cruel disease. Medicinal chemistry concerns the discovery, development, identification, and interpretation of the mode of action of biologically active compounds at the molecular level. Oxadiazole-based derivatives have come up as a potential option for antidiabetic drug research. Oxadiazole is a five-membered heterocyclic organic compound containing two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in its ring. Oxadiazole hybrids have shown the ability to improve glucose tolerance, enhance insulin sensitivity, and reduce fasting blood glucose levels. The mechanisms underlying the antidiabetic effects of oxadiazole involve the modulation of molecular targets such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), α-glucosidase, α-amylase and GSK-3β which regulate glucose metabolism and insulin secretion. The present review article describes the chemical structure and properties of oxadiazoles and highlights the antidiabetic activity through action on different targets. The SAR for the oxadiazole hybrids has been discussed in this article, which will pave the way for the design and development of new 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as promising antidiabetic agents in the future. We expect that this article will provide comprehensive knowledge and current innovation on oxadiazole derivatives with antidiabetic potential and will fulfil the needs of the scientific community in designing and developing efficacious antidiabetic agents.

Abstract
The CF3 group attached to N-aryl hydrazone could be activated upon treatment with a suitable base, thus serving as an excellent C1 unit for the assembly of a series of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles by reaction with hydrazides. The transformation is proposed to proceed via the intermediate formation of a gem-difluorinated azoalkene. Furthermore, this reaction features simple conditions and a broad substrate scope with respect to both trifluoromethyl N-aryl hydrazones and hydrazides.
