Ten new isoxazoline derivatives were synthesized from the reactions of benzonorbornadiene and homonorbornadiene derivatives with nitrile oxides formed from benzaldehyde and 4‐substituted benzaldehyde. Two new pyridazine derivatives were also synthesized from the reaction of the homonorbornadiene derivatives with 3,6‐di (2‐pyridyl)‐s‐tetrazine. It was seen that all cycloaddition reactions were realized as exo selectivity. Finally, γ‐Gauche effect in the isoxazoline derivatives was discussed.

Four new and four known isoxazoline derivatives were synthesized from the reactions of benzonorbornadiene with nitrile oxides formed from the corresponding benzaldehydes. Three new and one known pyrazoline derivatives were also synthesized from the reactions of the benzonorbornadiene with nitrile imines formed from the corresponding compounds. The synthesized nitrogenbased novel heterocyclic compounds were evaluated against the human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I and II (hCA I and hCA II), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes. The synthesized nitrogenbased novel heterocyclic compounds showed IC 50 values in the range of 2.69-7.01 against hCA I, 2.40-4.59 against hCA II, 0.81-1.32 µM against AChE, and 20.83-1.70 µM against BChE enzymes. On the contrary, nitrogen-based novel heterocyclic compounds demonstrated K i values between2.93 ± 0.59-8.61 ± 1.39 against hCA I, 2.05 ± 0.62-4.97 ± 0.95 against hCA II, 0.34 ± 0.02-0.92 ± 0.17 nM against AChE, and 0.50 ± 0.04-1.20 ± 0.16 µM against BChE enzymes. The synthesized nitrogen-based novel heterocyclic compounds exhibited effective inhibition profiles against both indicated metabolic enzymes. These results may contribute to the development of new drugs particularly to treat some disorders, which are widespread in the world including glaucoma and Alzheimer's diseases.
