A new series of compounds, structurally related to leflunomide, based on the 1,2,5-oxadiazole ring system (furazan) has been synthesised, and their ability to undergo ring scission at physiological pH to afford the corresponding cyano-oximes has been analyzed. The latter, together with the respective nitro derivatives obtained by oxidation, have been characterised as weak inhibitors of rat dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH).

Abstract

A new series of compounds, structurally related to leflunomide, based on the 1,2,5-oxadiazole ring system (furazan) has been synthesised, and their ability to undergo ring scission at physiological pH to afford the corresponding cyano-oximes has been analyzed. The latter, together with the respective nitro derivatives obtained by oxidation, have been characterised as weak inhibitors of rat dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH).
