New indole-tethered [1,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one (8a-j) and [1,3,4]oxadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one hybrids (9a-e) were synthesized using [4+2] cycloaddition reactions of functionalized 1,3-diazabuta-1,3-dienes with indole-ketenes. All molecular hybrids were structurally characterized by spectroscopic techniques (IR, NMR, and HRMS) and screened for their anti-pancreatic cancer activity in vitro. The [1,3,4]oxadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one hybrids (9a-e) showed stronger anti-pancreatic cancer activity than the [1,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one hybrids (8a-j) against the PANC-1 cell line. Compound 9d bearing an ortho-chlorophenyl moiety emerged as the most potent anti-pancreatic cancer agent with an IC50 value of 7.7 ± 0.4 µM, much superior to the standard drug Gemcitabine (IC50 > 500 µM). The discovery of these [1,3,4]thiadiazolo and [1,3,4]oxadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one hybrids elicits their potentials as pursuable candidates for pancreatic cancer chemotherapy.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
