A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been carried out for 32 N3 substituted 3H-thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-onederivatives as potential antioxidant drug candidates. The genetic algorithm (GA) and multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA) were used as appropriate techniques for descriptor selection and correlation model generation. The four best regressions for predicting the ability to scavenge the DPPH radical were generated as three-parameter QSAR models with the highest statistical characteristics and predictive power. It was shown that a set of 2D, 3D, and Molecular properties descriptors play a crucial role in antioxidant activity enhancement. Small hydrophilic molecules with the minimal distance of specific atoms and fragments from the center of mass, neglectable electronic density redistribution between the distant atoms, and molecules keeping strong symmetry of electronegative atoms along the 1st principal component axe exhibit higher activity. Validation parameters of the generated models allow us to state that they satisfy the statistical requirements for their goodness-of-fitting with no current overfitting. The predictive ability of the constructed models was assessed with both internal and external validation approaches and estimated with the leave-one-out and leave-group-out cross-validation coefficients (Q2LOO and Q2LGO). The values of Q2LOO (0.7060 ¸ 0.7480) and Q2LGO (0.6647 ¸ 0.7711) are reasonable, showing that the models are significant and robust to predict the free radical scavenging activity of the compounds from both training and validation sets. Applicability domain-defining technique was employed in the obtained models, and indicated that most structures were adequately represented by the chemical space of the models.

The present microreview systematizes recent advances in the synthetic approaches for novel thiazolo[4,5-b]-pyridines and summarizes pharmacological effects they were found to possess. In particular, modern synthetic techniques for thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine bicyclic scaffold construction starting from thiazole or thiazolidine derivatives followed by pyridine annulation, which results in the target fused thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridines, are analyzed.

As a result of the furfural reaction with diazonium, salts 1a-h the arylfuran-2-carbaldehydes 3a-h were synthesized. In the reaction of Wilgerodt-Kindler, arylfuran-2-carbaldehydes with sulfur and aryl piperazines was prepared 1-aryl-4-[(5-aryl-2-furyl)carbonothioyl]piperazines. The structures of target compounds 5a-l were confirmed by using 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized substances was evaluated by the value of the MIC and minimum fungicidal and bactericidal concentration. The findings exhibited that the compounds
possessed moderate antimicrobial potential. In vitro anticancer activity assessment on the full panel

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are widely used in the treatment of diseases accompanied by pain and fever, can cause diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and are associated with disturbances of the intestinal microbiota. The search for new compounds that could affect the community of microorganisms, exhibiting antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, is an important task of modern medicine and veterinary medicine. One of the promising molecules that have such effects are 4-thiazolidinone derivatives. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of the newly synthesized compound Les6490 and drug nimesulide on the intestinal wall microbiota of rats in vivo under the conditions of Freund’s adjuvant-induced inflammatory process. The study of the effect of the above-mentioned drugs on the intestinal microbiota in vivo was carried out on a biomodel of rats, which were intragastrically administered with the test substances for two weeks. The study material was the parietal mucos of the small intestine, the microbiome of which was studied using 16S rRNA sequencing. Metagenomic analysis made it possible to analyze the types of microorganisms in experimental groups with induced inflammation (groups A and AL) and without it (groups K, L, N). It was established that the composition of the microbiome of the intestinal tract of rats changes under the conditions of induced inflammation and under the action of the compound Les6490 (groups A and L) in comparison with the control group (group K). The influence of Les6490 on the intestinal tract microbiome composition in rats is similar to that of nimesulide, but the effect is more …
