Synthesis and characterisation of novel 2,4-diphenyloxazole derivatives and evaluation of their in vitro antioxidant and anticancer activity

The above results concluded that, the compounds containing 2-nitro phenyl and 4-acetyloxyphenyl substituents at the second position in the oxazole scaffold played an important role in determining their anticancer potential and the 4-nitro-3-hydroxy phenyl group at second position in the scaffold could impart a major role in their radical scavenging property.
