“…Although experimentally determined values are preferred, computational approaches have many advantages because they do not require expensive instrumentation, reagents and laborious experimental work. 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles represent an important class of heterocyclic compounds, which present a wide range of biological actions, such as antibacterial (Bala, Kamboj, Kajal, Saini, & Prasad, 2014), antifungal (Sangshetti, Chabukswar, & Shinde, 2011), anticonvulsant (Rajak et al, 2010), anti-inflammatory (Husain, Ahmad, Alam, Ajmal, & Ahuja, 2009), antiviral (Hicks & Gulick, 2009) and anticancer (Tuma et al, 2010). Moreover, the 1,3,4-oxadiazole system is a bioisostere of amides and esters, which allows it to participate in the formation of hydrogen bonds with physiological targets, thus leading to an increase in biological activity.…”
