A new series of thiadiazole-enaminones 4 were synthesized via reactions of 5-acetyl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 3 with dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA). The simple phenyl substituted thiadiazole-enaminone 4f was used as a synthetic precursor for the preparation of a wide variety of new heterocyclic compounds, including the 5-substituted-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13, which were obtained via reactions of 4f with nitrogen nucleophiles. Also, reactions of enaminone 4f with carbon nucleophiles afforded the respective 1,3,4-thiadiazoles 8a-d. In addition, the results of the antimicrobial activities of thiadiazole-enaminones 4 and their precursors 2 and 3 indicate that some members of this series display promising activities against all tested microorganisms.     

Novel Substituted Imidazo[2,1‐b][1,3,4]Thiadiazole Derivatives: Synthesis,Characterization, Molecular Docking Study,and Investigation of Their In Vitro Antifungal Activities

In this study, a new series of substituted imidazo[2,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized. To this end, first 2‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole derivatives (compounds 2a and 2b ), the starting materials, were synthesized with high yields (82% and 79%, respectively). Then imidazo[2,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives ( 4 – 16 ), the target compounds, were synthesized from reactions of 2‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole derivatives ( 2a and 2b ) with 2‐bromoacetophenone derivatives ( 3a – 3i ) (in yields of 52% to 71%). All of the synthesized compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, Fourier transform infrared, elemental analysis, mass spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction analysis (compounds 4 – 12 , 14 , and 15 ) techniques. In vitro antifungal activity tests were performed for all of the synthesized compounds. Inhibition zones, percentage of inhibition, minimum fungicidal activity, minimum inhibitory concentration, and lethal dose values of the target compounds were determined against some plant pathogens. According to the results of the biological activity tests, all of the synthesized compounds showed moderate to high levels of antifungal activity. Theoretical calculations were performed to support the experimental results. The geometric parameters of selected compounds ( 5 , 6 , and 8 ) were optimized using the density functional theory B3LYP/6‐31G(d) method in the Gaussian 09W package program, and the frontier molecular orbitals (highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) were calculated theoretically. Finally, molecular docking studies were performed for antifungal activity studies of the selected compounds and to determine whether or not these compounds could be inhibitor agents for the 2RKV protein structure.

Conventional and Microwave‐assisted Total Synthesis,Antioxidant Capacity,Biological Activity,and Molecular Docking Studies of New Hybrid Compounds

Thiomorpholine was converted to the corresponding 1,3,4‐oxadiazole ( 4 ), arylidenehydrazide ( 5a , 5b , 5c , 5d , 5e ), and 1,2,4‐triazole ( 7a and, 7b ) derivatives via the formation of hydrazide ( 3 ). Compounds 4 and 7 were next converted to the corresponding Mannich bases containing piperidin, β‐lactam, fluoroquinolone, piperazine, or morpholine core. Conventional and microwave‐assisted methods were used for all syntheses. The effect of acid catalyst on Mannich reactions was also investigated. All the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial, antiglucosidase, antilipase, anti‐urease, and antioxidant activities. Most exhibited good–moderate antibacterial and/or antifungal activity. Docking of some of the synthesized compounds into the active sites of lipase, α‐glucosidase, and urease was carried out in order to predict the binding affinities and noncovalent interactions stabilizing the enzyme–ligand complexes. Docking results complemented well the experimental results on inhibitory effects of compounds. Higher binding affinities were observed for active compounds in contrary to inactive ones.
