Design, synthesis and pro-apoptotic antitumour properties of indole-based 3,5-disubstituted oxadiazoles
摘要:
A series of new indole-based 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles has been designed and synthesised as potential pro-apoptotic antitumour agents, via the base-catalysed condensation reaction between substituted amidoximes and indole esters. Evaluation of antiproliferative activity against the human cancer cell lines COLO 320 (colorectal) and MIA PACA-2 (pancreatic) revealed IC50 values in the low micromolar range. Selected compounds were able to trigger apoptosis in sensitive cell lines, for example via activation of caspase-3/7, demonstrating that indole-based oxadiazoles possess in vitro antitumour and pro-apoptotic activity.

Ultrasound-Assisted Synthesis of N-Acylcyanamides and N-Acyl-Substituted Imidazolones from Carboxylic Acids by Using Trichloroisocyanuric Acid/Triphenylphosphine
A convenient ultrasound-assisted one-pot synthesis of N-acylcyanamides starting from readily available carboxylicacids and sodium cyanamide has been developed. Upon activation in the presence of trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and triphenylphosphine, a range of carboxylicacids was converted into N-acylcyanamides in good to excellent yields within 10 minutes at room temperature without base. Remarkably
