A series of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives with substituted phenyl ring were designed and synthesized with an objective of discovering newer anti-cancer agents targeting thymidine phosphorylase enzyme (TP). The 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized by simple and convenient methods in the lab. Chemical structure of the all the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and mass spectral methods and evaluated for cytotoxicity by MTT method against two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). Further, results of TP assay identified that 1,3,4-oxadiazole molecules displayed anti-cancer activity partially by inhibition of phosphorylation of thymidine. The TP assay identified SB8 and SB9 as potential inhibitors with anti-cancer activity against both the cell lines. The molecular docking studies recognized the orientation and binding interaction of molecule at the active site amino acid residues of TP (PDB: 1UOU). Acute toxicity studies of compound SB8 at the dose of 5000 mg/kg has identified no signs of clinical toxicity was observed. The SARs study of synthesized derivatives revealed that the substitution of phenyl ring with electron withdrawing group at ortho position showed significant TP inhibitory activity compared to para substitution. The experimental data suggests that 1,3,4-oxadiazole with substituted phenyl can be taken as a lead for the design of efficient TP inhibitors and active compounds which can be taken up for further studies.

Cu(I) catalysts enable C-B bond formation via direct insertion of vinyldiazoacetates into B-H bonds of borane-phosphine Lewis adducts to form phosphine-protected allylboranes under mild conditions. The resulting allylborane-phosphine Lewis adducts can be used in the diastereoselective allylation of aldehydes directly without the need for removal of the phosphine. The allylation reaction proceeds with high diastereoselectivity and yields 5,6-disubstituted dihydropyranones after treatment with an appropriate acid.

Abiological enzymes offers new opportunities for sustainable chemistry. Herein, we report the development of biological catalysts derived from sperm whale myoglobin that exploit a carbene transfer mechanism for the asymmetric synthesis of cyclopropane-fused-δ-lactones, which are key structural motifs found in many biologically active natural products. While hemin, wild-type myoglobin, and other hemoproteins are unable to catalyze this reaction, the myoglobin scaffold could be remodeled by protein engineering to permit the intramolecular cyclopropanation of a broad spectrum of homoallylic diazoacetate substrates in high yields and with up to 99 % enantiomeric excess. Via an alternate evolutionary trajectory, a stereodivergent biocatalyst was also obtained for affording mirror-image forms of the desired bicyclic products. In combination with whole-cell transformations, the myoglobin-based biocatalyst was used for the asymmetric construction of a cyclopropyl-δ-lactone scaffold at a gram scale, which could be further elaborated to furnish a variety of enantiopure trisubstituted cyclopropanes.
