Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2003 Jun;51(6):728-30. doi: 10.1248/cpb.51.728.

Abstract

5-Aryl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thiones 3 were prepared by cyclocondensation of 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-aroylhydrazines with thiophosgene. All compounds exhibited antiproliferation activity in K562, IC(50) ranging from 24 to 94 micro M comparable efficacy with apigenin and genistein and showed more potent antiproliferation of K562/adr cells, highly expressing P-glycoprotein. Compounds 3g, 3e and 3a inhibited the function of P-glycoprotein with the alpha(0.5) equal to 10+/-3 micro M, 21+/-5 micro M and 34+/-7 micro M, respectively.
