摘要

A series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives derived from 4-methoxysalicylic acid or 4-methylsalicylic acid (6a-6z) have been first synthesized for their potential immunosuppressive activity. Among them, compound 6z displayed the most potent biological activity against lymph node cells (inhibition=38.76% for lymph node cells and IC(50)=0.31 μM for PI3Kγ). The preliminary mechanism of compound 6z inhibition effects was also detected by flow cytometry (FCM) and the compound exerted immunosuppressive activity via inducing the apoptosis of activated lymph node cells in a dose dependent manner. Docking simulation was performed to position compound 6z into the PI3Kγ structure active site to determine the probable binding model.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
