physicochemical and early ADME characterization study, in the framework of which logP, pKa and logk values were calculated. Following that, kinetic solubility and in vitro gastrointestinal membrane-specific permeability measurements were carried out to assess the lead-likeness of the compounds. Subsequently, the
metabolic stability of the most promising derivatives was also determined using human liver microsomes.

To assess the lead-likeness of the newly synthesized compounds 3a–j and 10a,b and to make a priority list among them prior to pharmacological testing, a detailed early-phase pharmacokinetic evaluation has been carried out. Since the

of condensed thiazoles and tetrazoles. In silico assessment of ADMET parameters shows that most compounds meet the lead-likeness requirements. The biological profiles of new compounds demonstrate high probability levels of activity against the following pathogens/diseases: Candida albicans, Alphis
, see Supporting Information File 1 (Table S1). To visualize the lead-likeness of compounds 2a–r, 3–7, we utilized the free online software LLAMA (https://llama.leeds.ac.uk) [53], which showed that 70% of the products (16 of 23) fall within the specific lead-like space (Figure 2).
We then used the free
