Deskripsi

A new series of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles derivatives was synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo anti-thrombotic activity. Compounds (<b>3a</b>&#8315;<b>3i</b>) exhibited significant clot lysis with respect to reference drug streptokinase (30,000 IU), and enhanced clotting time (CT) values (130&#8315;342 s) than heparin (110 s). High affinity towards 1NFY with greater docking score was observed for the compounds (<b>3a</b>, <b>3i</b>, <b>3e</b>, <b>3d</b>, and <b>3h</b>) than the control ligand RPR200095. In addition, impressive inhibitory potential against factor Xa (F-Xa) was observed with higher docking scores (5612&#8315;6270) with Atomic Contact Energy (ACE) values (&#8722;189.68 to &#8722;352.28 kcal/mol) than the control ligand RPR200095 (Docking score 5192; ACE &#8722;197.81 kcal/mol). In vitro, in vivo, and in silico results proposed that these newly synthesized compounds might be used as anticoagulant agents.
