Abstract

A series of novel 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized and screened for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The assay indicated that compounds 3c, 3d, and 3i exhibited comparable antibacterial and antioxidant activity with first-line drugs. The structure activity relationship and molecular docking study of the synthesized compounds are also reported.
