Synthesis and Bioactivity of Novel Tri-Heterocyclic Molecules: {4-[3-({[5-(Substituted)-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-2-Yl] SulfanyljMethyl) Benzoyl] -1 -Piperazinyl} (2-Furyl)Methanones (AOICS) - Lupine Publishers 
In the presented investigation, some novel tri-heterocyclic 
benzamides, 8a-g, were synthesized in several steps. First, the 
electrophilic benzamide, 
{4-[3-(chloromethyl)benzoyl]-1-piperazinyl}(2-furyl) methanone (3), was 
synthesized by the reaction of 2- Furoyl-1-piperazine (1) and 
3-chloromethylbenzoyl chloride (2). In second series of steps, different
 carboxylic acids, 4a-g, were refluxed with ethanol and conc. sulfuric 
acid to form esters, 5a-g. These esters were further refluxed with N2H4.H2O
 in methanol solution to acquire acid respective hydrazides, 6a-g. These
 hydrazides were cyclized by refluxing with KOH, ethanol and CS2
 into corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, 7a-g. In the final step, the 
electrophile, 3, was coupled with synthesized 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, 7a-g, 
in acetonitrile and potassium carbonate to acquire the targeted 
tri-heterocyclic molecules, 8a-g. The structural characterization of 
these novel compounds 8a-g was done by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR
 and EI-MS spectral data. These synthesized molecules were subjected to 
antibacterial and enzyme inhibitory and cytotoxicity evaluation. Among 
the series, 8b exhibit good enzyme inhibition whereas 8c exhibited good 
antibacterial and antifungal potential against B. subtilis, E. coli and A. flavus
 strains, respectively. Most of the molecules possessed moderate 
cytotoxicity and hence these can be utilized as possible therapeutic 
agents.
