A series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives derived from 4-methoxysalicylic acid or 4-methylsalicylic acid (6a-6z) have been first synthesized for their potential immunosuppressive activity. Among them, compound 6z displayed the most potent biological activity against lymph node cells (inhibition=38.76% for lymph node

Intake of flavonoids from the diet can be substantial, and epidemiological studies suggest that these compounds can decrease the incidence of cardiovascular diseases by involvement with increased platelet aggregation. Although parent flavonoids possess antiplatelet effects, the clinical importance is disputable
