Dipeptides (DP), namely valyl-glycine (Val-Gly), alanyl-proline (Ala-Pro), and valyl-proline (Val-Pro) were synthesized by classical solution phase methods and characterized. The kinetics of oxidation of amino acids (AA) and DP by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) was studied in the presence of perchlorate ions in acidic medium at 28 • C. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically at λ max = 240 nm. The reactions follow identical kinetics, being first order each in [NBS] , and ionic strength was observed. Effects of varying dielectric constant of the medium and addition of anions such as chloride and perchlorate were studied. Activation parameters have been computed. The oxidation products of the reaction were isolated and characterized. The proposed mechanism is consistent with the experimental results. An apparent correlation was noted between the rate of oxidation of AA and DP.

A series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole bridged pyrazole/isoxazole bearing quinoline derivatives has been designed and synthesized by a clean and convenient method. Structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been confirmed by FTIR, 1 H and 13 C NMR, and HRMS spectral data. The titled compounds have been evaluated for their molecular docking guided antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. One of 1,3,4-oxadiazole bridged quinolinyl-pyrazole derivatives has interacted efficiently with E. Coli protein (PDB file: 1KZN), and has been characterized by good antimicrobial activity against the majority of the tested pathogens. Another product has exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity.
