Síntese e avaliação biológica de 1,2,4- e 1,3,4-oxadiazóis

Abstract

Oxadiazoles heterocycles are present in many structures with different biological properties, therefore, the interest in this research. So, this work is divided in two chapters: the first refers to the synthesis of these heterocycles in order to verify its biological potential, while the second is based on the development of new methodologies for synthesis of derivatives 1.2, 4 and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. In the first chapter, twenty one 1,2,4-oxadiazoles derivatives were obtained by nucleophilic substitution reactions of second order and thirty two new 1,3,4oxadiazoles derivatives were obtained through Mannich-type reactions. The compounds were tested for their anticancer and antibacterial properties. In general, 1,2,4-oxadiazoles derivatives did not show interesting activity against the tested pathologies. On the other hand, 1,3,4-regioisomers demonstrated interesting activity profile, being most active those molecules containing the alkylated piperazine group with twelve carbons chain. For the antitubercular activity, a better activity was verified for the alkylated 1,3,4oxadiazoles with fourteen carbon chain. The search for efficient and simple methods for the synthesis of new molecules, allowed in the second chapter, the synthesis of a number of 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles derivatives obtained by reactions palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation reactions. Various nucleophiles hydrazides and amidoximes were able of reaction with different aryl bromides and carbon monoxide produced ex situ in a multicomponent reaction, enabling the formation of such heterocycles in high yields. This methodology was effective for isotopic ¹³C labeling for different compounds as well as allowed the synthesis of the drug ataluren in an 43% overall yield.
