    Imidazole and thiadiazole derivatives display an extensive application in pharmaceutical chemistry, and they have been investigated as bioactive molecules for medicinal chemistry purposes. Classical carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors are based on sulfonamide groups, but inhibiting all CA isoforms nonspecifically, thereby causing undesired side effects, is the main drawback of these types of inhibitors. Here we reported an investigation of novel 2,6-disubstituted imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives (9a-k, 10a, and 11a) and 2,5,6-trisubstituted imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives (12a-20a) that do not possess the zinc-binding sulfonamide group for the inhibition of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) I and II isoforms and also of acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7). Imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles demonstrated low nanomolar inhibitory activity against hCA I, hCA II, and AChE (KIs are in the range of 23.44-105.50 nM, 10.32-104.70 nM, and 20.52-54.06 nM, respectively). Besides, compound 9b inhibit hCA I up to 18-fold compared to acetazolamide, while compound 10a has a 5-fold selectivity towards hCA II. The synthesized compounds were also evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on the L929 mouse fibroblast cell line. Molecular docking simulations were performed to elucidate these inhibitors' potential binding modes against hCA I and II isoforms and AChE. The novel compounds reported here can represent interesting lead compounds, and the results presented here might provide further structural guidance to discover and design more potent hCA and AChE inhibitors.

    Design, Synthesis, SAR and Molecular Modeling Studies of Novel Imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]Thiadiazole Derivatives as Highly Potent Antimicrobial Agents
    (Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2018) Tahtaci, Hakan; Karacik, Hatice; Ece, Abdulilah; Er, Mustafa; Seker, Mine Gul
    In this study, a novel series of phenyl substituted imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized, characterized and explored for antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli, Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis and antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited remarkable antimicrobial activities, some of which being ten times more potent than positive controls. The most promising compound showed excellent activity with MIC value of 0.03g/ml against both S. aureus and B. subtilis (MIC values of positive compound Chloramphenicol are 0.4g/ml and 0.85g/ml, respectively). Furthermore, structure-activity relationship was also investigated with the help of computational tools. Some physicochemical and ADME properties of the compounds were calculated too. The combination of electronic structure calculations performed at PM6 level and molecular docking simulations using Glide extra-precision mode showed that the hydrophobic nature of keto aryl ring with no electron withdrawing substituents at para position enhances activity while electron-donating substituents at the second aryl ring is detrimental to activity.

    An integrated approach towards the development of novel antifungal agents containing thiadiazole: synthesis and a combined similarity search, homology modelling, molecular dynamics and molecular docking study
    (Springeropen, 2018) Er, Mustafa; Abounakhla, Abdulati Miftah; Tahtaci, Hakan; Bawah, Ali Hasin; Cinaroglu, Suleyman Selim; Onaran, Abdurrahman; Ece, Abdulilah
    BackgroundThis study aims to synthesise and characterise novel compounds containing 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole and their acyl derivatives and to investigate antifungal activities. Similarity search, molecular dynamics and molecular docking were also studied to find out a potential target and enlighten the inhibition mechanism.ResultsAs a first step, 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (compounds 3 and 4) were synthesised with high yields (81 and 84%). The target compounds (6a-n and 7a-n) were then synthesised with moderate to high yields (56-87%) by reacting 3 and 4 with various acyl chloride derivatives (5a-n). The synthesized compounds were characterized using the IR, H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR, Mass, X-ray (compound 7n) and elemental analysis techniques. Later, the in vitro antifungal activities of the synthesised compounds were determined. The inhibition zones exhibited by the compounds against the tested fungi, their minimum fungicidal activities, minimum inhibitory concentration and the lethal dose values (LD50) were determined. The compounds exhibited moderate to high levels of activity against all tested pathogens. Finally, in silico modelling was used to enlighten inhibition mechanism using ligand and structure-based methods. As an initial step, similarity search was carried out and the resulting proteins that belong to Homo sapiens were used as reference in sequence similarity search to find the corresponding amino acid sequences in target organisms. Homology modelling was used to construct the protein structure. The stabilised protein structure obtained from molecular dynamics simulation was used in molecular docking.ConclusionThe overall results presented here might be a good starting point for the identification of novel and more active compounds as antifungal agents.

    Synthesis, characterization, preliminary SAR and molecular docking study of some novel substituted imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives as antifungal agents
    (Springer Birkhauser, 2017) Er, Mustafa; Erguven, Bugracan; Tahtaci, Hakan; Onaran, Abdurrahman; Karakurt, Tuncay; Ece, Abdulilah
    The aim of this study was to synthesize imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives, characterize them with various spectroscopic methods and investigate their antifungal activities. 2-Imino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives 2a, b were synthesized by reacting nitrile compounds 1a, b with thiosemicarbazide (yields 75 and 88%). We then synthesized imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives 4-21, the target compounds, from the reactions of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives 2a, b with phenacyl bromide derivatives 3 (yields 52-69%). The structures of all synthesized compounds were characterized by infrared, H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance, C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance, elemental analysis and mass spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis was also used for the compounds 7, 8, 10, and 17. Subsequently, in vitro antifungal activity tests were applied to all synthesized compounds. Inhibition zones, percentages of inhibition and LD50 doses were determined. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited good antifungal activity against plant pathogens. Molecular docking and electronic properties calculations were carried out in order to see the potential binding conformations of the ligands and the effect of the substituents on the activities. Docking score successfully reflects the activity of the most active compound 10, which was found to have the lowest octanol/water partition coefficient and high HOMO energy value. The combination of experimental and computational work show that all the synthesized compounds have promising activities and might serve as novel drug candidates.
