Synthesis and evaluation of in vitro antioxidant properties of novel 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. 2014

V Lakshmi Ranganatha, and Shaukath Ara Khanum

2,5-Disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole compounds are one of the most attractive heterocyclic compounds for researchers due to their biological activities. In the undertaken research, a number of potential 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole analogues were synthesized through multi step reaction and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, mass spectra, and also by elemental analysis. Further benzophenone tagged indole acetohydrazides and 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were evaluated for antioxidant potential, through different in vitro models such as DPPH, nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide methods. In the series of compounds some of them had shown good to moderate in vitro antioxidant potential compare to the standard drug ascorbic acid in all the above three methods.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007211	Indoles	Benzopyrroles with the nitrogen at the number one carbon adjacent to the benzyl portion, in contrast to ISOINDOLES which have the nitrogen away from the six-membered ring.
D009569	Nitric Oxide	A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D010069	Oxadiazoles	Compounds containing five-membered heteroaromatic rings containing two carbons, two nitrogens, and one oxygen atom which exist in various regioisomeric forms.	Oxadiazole
D010851	Picrates	Salts or esters of PICRIC ACID.
D006861	Hydrogen Peroxide	A strong oxidizing agent used in aqueous solution as a ripening agent, bleach, and topical anti-infective. It is relatively unstable and solutions deteriorate over time unless stabilized by the addition of acetanilide or similar organic materials.
