Synthesis of a Series of Novel 2-Amino-5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole and1,3,4-thiadiazole Derivatives as Potential Anticancer, Antifungal and AntibacterialAgents

Compounds (1b, 1e and 1g) showed antibacterial activity against Streptococcus faecalis, MSSA and MRSA with MIC value ranging between 4 to 64 μg/mL. Compound (2g) showed antifungal activity against Candida albicans (8 μg/mL) and Aspergillus niger (64 μg/mL). Compound (1o) exhibited high cytotoxic activity against HepG2 cell line (IC₅₀ value 8.6 μM) which is comparable to the activity of paclitaxel, and is non-toxic on LLC-PK1 normal cell line. The structure activity relationship and molecular docking study of the synthesized compounds have also been reported.
