Synthesis, characterization and biological screening of N-substituted derivatives of 5-benzyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2yl-2''-sulfanyl acetamide

A series of new N-substituted derivatives of 5-benzyl-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole-2yl-2''-sulfanyl acetamide [6a-n] were synthesized in three phases. The first phase involved the sequentially converting phenyl acetic acid into ester, hydrazide and finally cyclized in the presence of CS[2] to afford 5-benzyl-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole-2-thiol. In the second phase N-substituted-2-bromoacetamides were prepared by reacting substituted amines with bromoacetyl bromide in basic media. In the third phase, 5-benzyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol was stirred with N-substituted-2-bromoacetamides in the presence of N,N-dimethyl formamide [DMF] and sodium hydride [NaH] to get the target compounds. Spectral techniques were used to confirm the structures of synthesized compounds. Synthesized compounds were screened against butyrylcho linesterase [BChE], acetylcholinesterase [AChE], and lipoxygenase enzymes [LOX] and were found to be relatively more active against acetylcholinesterase

Synthesis of biologically active O-substituted derivatives of 1-[[3, 5-dichloro-2-hydroxyphenyl]sulfonyl]piperidine

In the present work, a series of 2-O-substituted derivatives of 1-[[3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxy phenyl] sulfonyl]piperidine [5a-j] were synthesized. These derivatives were geared up by the coupling of 3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxy benzenesulfonyl chloride [1] with piperidine [2] under dynamic pH control in aqueous media to form parent compound 1-[[3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxyphenyl]sulfonyl]piperidine [3], followed by the substitution at oxygen atom with different electrophiles [4a-j] in the presence of sodium hydride [NaH] and dimethyl formamide [DMF] to give a series of Osubstituted derivatives of sulfonamides bearing piperidine nucleus 5a-j. The synthesized O-substituted sulfonamides were spectrally characterized. The bioactivity of all the synthesized compounds were evaluated against lipoxygenase [LOX], acetylcholinesterae [AChE] and butyrylcholinesterase [BChE] enzymes and found to be having talented activity against butyrylcholinesterase enzyme
