With multidrug resistant bacteria on the rise, novel antibiotics are becoming highly sought after. In 2008, eleven compounds were identified by high throughput screening as inhibitors of BasE, a key enzyme of the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase pathway found in Acinetobacter baumannii. Herein, we describe the preparation of four structurally similar heterocyclic lead compounds from that study, including one 1,2,5-oxadiazole. A further library of 30 analogues containing the oxadiazole moiety was then generated. All compounds were screened against Acinetobacter baumannii and their minimum inhibitory concentration data is reported, with (E)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(4-methyl-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)acrylamide 32 found to have an MIC of 0.5 mM. This work provides the foundation for further investigation of 1,2,5-oxadizoles as novel inhibitors of A. baumannii.
N -Oxide-Controlled Chemoselective Reduction of Nitrofuroxans

A facile and chemoselective SnCl 2 -mediated mild reduction of regioisomeric 3- and 4-nitrofuroxans for the synthesis of aminofurazans and aminofuroxans in good yields is developed. Reduction of 4-nitrofuroxans results in the selective formation of 4-aminofuroxans, while analogous reduction of 3-nitrofuroxans affords 3-aminofurazans as a result of simultaneous reduction of the nitro group and exocyclic N-O bond.
Mild Synthesis of Substituted 1,2,5-Oxadiazoles Using 1,1′-Carbonyldiimidazole as a Dehydrating Agent

1,1′-Carbonyldiimidazole was found to induce the formation of a variety of 3,4-disubstituted 1,2,5-oxadiazoles (furazans) from the corresponding bisoximes at ambient temperature. This method enables these inherently energetic compounds to be prepared at t
