Synthesis of Oxadiazole-2-oxide Analogues as Potential Antischistosomal Agents

Tetrahedron Lett. 2009 Apr;50(15):1710-1713. doi: 10.1016/j.tetlet.2009.01.120.

Abstract

The synthesis of several 1,2,5-oxadiazole-2-oxide (Furoxan) analogues is described herein. These compounds were prepared in an effort to probe the SAR around the phenyl substituent and oxadiazole core for our studies toward thioredoxin-glutathione reductase (TGR) inhibition and anti-schistosomal activity.
