Several novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole compounds were synthesized for this investigation. NMR and IR spectrum analysis as well as carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen studies were used to characterize these novel synthesized compounds. Antibacterial and antifungal tests were conducted on all of the newly synthesized compounds. Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, both Gram +ve bacteria, and Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aureginosa, both Gram -ve bacteria, were utilised in antibacterial studies. Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans were used to test the efficacy of antifungal treatments. Ciprofloxacin and fluconazole were utilized as reference medications in antibacterial and antifungal research, respectively. The inhibitory effects ranged from mild to strong across all of the substances. The results of the screenings showed that several of the compounds had stronger antibacterial and antifungal properties than the standard medicines.

Introduction
Oxadiazoles, sometimes known as furadiazoles are compounds with a five-membered ring consisting of one oxygen and two nitrogen atoms1, 2. Oxadiazoles have been shown to have a wide range of beneficial biological effects3. By replacing two of the furan’s methane (-CH=) groups with pyridine-type nitrogen atoms (-N=), oxadiazole is thought to be the outcome2. The synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles is a topic of much research and discussion. Typically, 1,3,4-oxadiazoles are synthesized by directly annulating hydrazides with methyl ketones. Using K2CO3 as a base was discovered to result in a very effective and unexpected C-C bond cleavage. It is hypothesized that oxidative breakage of Csp3-H bonds occurs first, then cyclization, and finally deacylation, in this process4. Antimicrobial,5 anti-inflammatory,6 antibacterial,7 anticancer,8 antifungal,9 tuberculostatic10, analgesic11, vasodilating agent12, anti-HIV agent13 and anti-hypertensive14,15 properties have been found for 1,3,4-oxadiazoles and their derivatives in recent investigations. In addition, amino compounds are widely used as a class of drugs with antibacterial and germicidal properties. Keeping the above in mind, it was proposed that a few substituted oxadiazoles derivatives produced from amino acid moieties may be synthesized. The synthesized chemicals were tested for their ability to kill bacteria and fungi.
Material and Method
Both the reagents and the solvents were obtained from commercial sources. The open capillary technique was used to get all of the melting points, without any adjustments being made. Recrystallization was used to improve the quality of the final products. Thin films mounted on KBr pellets were used to capture IR spectra using a PERKIN ELMER FT-IR Spectrophotometer. Chloroform was used to collect 1HNMR spectra by using Bruker NMR instrument, and the resulting chemical shift values are presented in ppm with respect to TMS (δ = 0) as the internal standard.
Experimental Section
Synthesis and Characterization
A new strategy for the synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles was established through direct annulation of hydrazides with methyl ketones. It was found that the use of K2CO3 as a base achieves an unexpected and highly efficient C−C bond cleavage. This reaction is proposed to go through oxidative cleavage of Csp3−H bonds, followed by cyclization and deacylation4.

Three aromatic amino acids named Tyrosine, Phenylalanine and Tryptophan were used to synthesis of amino acid derivatives of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. In first step acylation of amino acid has been done by using different organic acids named benzoic acid, succinic acid and pthalic acid. In second step acylated product reacted with differently substituted hydrazides in presence of 3.0 equiv K2CO3 over 20 h using 2.5 eqiv of I2 at 1000 C in DMSO which results in the formation of various 1,3,4-oxidiazole derivatives.

Antimicrobial Evaluation
For antibacterial investigations, two Gram +ve i.e. Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis while, two Gram -ve bacteria i.e. Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aureginosa were used.Two fungal species i.e. Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans were taken for antifungal examinations. The concentrations 100 µg/mL of the compounds were used. For antibacterial and antifungal studies, Ciprofloxacin and Fluconazole were used as standard drugs separately. The 20 µg/mL of concentration of each standard drug was used.

Results and Discussion
The primary focus of this study was the synthesis of a number of substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (Scheme 1, 2, and 3). Excellent yields of 60-90% were obtained for all of the synthesized compounds. Spectroscopic (IR and 1 H-NMR) approaches were used to verify the structures of all freshly synthesized derivatives. All synthesized derivatives had analytical and spectral data that agreed completely with their postulated structures.
Antibacterial and antifungal properties were tested for all synthesized compounds. The inhibitory effects ranged from mild to strong across all of the substances. From what we can tell from the screening findings, several of these compounds have far stronger antibacterial and antifungal properties than the standard medications.
When compared to Ciprofloxacin, the inhibitory activity of compounds A (1), A (3), B (1), B (2), B (3), C (3), and C (4) was shown to be between 75% and 95% more effective against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus substilis. The inhibitory effects of compounds A (2) were moderate, at 65-74%, while those of compounds A (4), B (4), C (1), and C (2) were weak, at 50-64%.
Inhibitory action against Escherichia coli was increased by 75-95% when comparing compounds A (1), A (3), B (1), B (2), C (3), and C (4) to Ciprofloxacin. Compound B (3) exhibited moderate activity (66-77 percent inhibition), whereas compounds A (2), A (4), B (4), C (1), and C (2) all shown inhibitory effects in the 50-64 percent range.
Inhibitory activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was greatest for compounds B (1), B (2), C (3), and C (4) (Table 1), whereas the other compounds exhibited moderate to weak activity.
Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans were shown to be susceptible to killing by some of the chemicals in the aforementioned series. Compounds B (4), C (1), and C (2) showed the greatest effectiveness (75-95% inhibition). Inhibition rates between 50% and 74% were observed with other drugs against the aforementioned fungal species (Table 2).
According to the results shown above, antimicrobial activity are modified by the presence of a heterocyclic nucleus.
