Síntese e avaliação biológica de 1,2,4-oxadiazóis acoplados a diaminas

Abstract

One of the biggest causes of death in the world is cancer, and therefore it is a public health concern. In this way, the oncology field is of great interest to many researches, due to the deficiency of a comprehensive and effective therapeutic arsenal. Considering the severity of this disease, and in order to develop active molecules, in this work we describe the synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles coupled to diamines, which resulted in the obtaining of twenty novel compounds, among them: an intermediate oxadiazole and nineteen derivatives coupled to diamines, three of them being alkylated. Four oxadiazoles were obtained after two steps of synthesis, from the reaction of benzonitriles with hydroxylamine followed by reaction with bromine acetyl bromide. In order to obtain the final structures, the oxadiazoles were condensed to the diamines, generating twenty-four compounds. In addition, three novel oxadiazoles were obtained by condensing the respective heterocycle with the alkylated piperazine from the alkyl bromides or chlorides. The structures of the obtained compounds were elucidated by infrared spectroscopy and 1H NMR and 13C. The final oxadiazolic derivatives were submitted to evaluation of cytotoxic activity, as initially proposed, but none of them were active against the cells tested. In addition, the compounds were tested for their antibacterial activity, and three compounds were active against two strains of bacteria, and antitubercular, but none of the derivatives showed activity against the strain Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
