In present study, a series of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives have been designed, synthesized and purified. All of these compounds are reported for the first time, the chemical structures of these compounds were confirmed by means of (1)H NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analyses. Besides, we evaluated their immunosuppressive activity. Most of these synthesized compounds were proved to have potent immunosuppressive activity and low toxicity. Among them, the bioassay results demonstrated that compounds 5c, 5n, 5p, 5o, 6f and 6g exhibited immunosuppressive activities with IC(50) concentration range from 1.25μM to 7.60 μM against the T cells, and the IC(50) of positive control (csa) is 2.12 μM. Moreover, all the title compounds were assayed for PI3K/AKT signaling pathway inhibition using the ELISA assay. We examined the compounds with potent inhibitory activities against IL-1, IL-6 and IL-10 released in ConA-simulated mouse lymph node cells. The results showed compounds 5o and 6f displayed the most potential biological activity against T cells (IC(50)=1.25 μM and 4.75 μM for T cells). The preliminary mechanism of compound 5o inhibition effects was also detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The results of apoptosis and ELISA assay demonstrated that the immunosuppressive activity of compounds 5o and 6f against T cells may be mediated by the inhibition of PI3Kγ/AKT signaling pathway. Molecular docking was performed to position compounds 5o and 6f into PI3Kγ binding site in order to indicate the potential target.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
