Synthesis and Biological Activity Evaluation of 2-Cyanopyrrole Derivatives as Potential Tyrosinase Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: In order to find potential inhibitors of tyrosinase, two series of pyrrole derivatives A (1-17) and B (1-8) were synthesized and screened for their inhibitory activities on tyrosinase. Most of the 2-cyanopyrrole derivatives exhibited effective inhibitory activities. In particular, A12 exhibited the strongest inhibitory activities, with the IC₅₀ values of 0.97 μM, which is ∼30 times stronger than the reference inhibitor kojic acid (IC₅₀: 28.72 μM). The inhibitory mechanism analysis results revealed that A12 was a reversible and mixed-type inhibitor. Molecular docking experiments clarified the interaction between A12 with tyrosinase. Furthermore, A12 (100 μM) presented effective inhibitory effect on tyrosinase in B16 melanoma cells with inhibition of 33.48%, which was equivalent to that of Kojic acid (39.81%). Accordingly, compound A12 may serve as the lead structure for the further design of potent tyrosinase inhibitors. Molecular docking studies confirmed the interaction between the compound and tyrosinase.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of symmetrical azine derivatives as novel tyrosinase inhibitors.

Project description:A series of symmetrical azine derivatives containing different substituted benzyl moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against tyrosinase. The results showed that compounds 3e, 3f, 3h, 3i, 3j, and 3k possess effective tyrosinase inhibition with IC50 values ranging from 7.30 μM to 62.60 μM. Particularly, compounds 3f displayed around three-fold improvement in the potency (IC50 = 7.30 ± 1.15 μM) compared to that of kojic acid (IC50 = 20.24 ± 2.28 μM) as the positive control. Kinetic study of compound 3f confirmed uncompetitive inhibitory activity towards tyrosinase indicating that it can bind to enzyme-substrate complex. Next, molecular docking analysis was performed to study the interactions and binding mode of the most potent compound 3f in the tyrosinase active site. Besides, the cytotoxicity of 3f, as well as its potency to reduce the melanin content were also measured on invasive melanoma B16F10 cell line. Also, 3f exhibited above 82% cell viability in the A375 cell line at 10 µM. Consequently, compounds 3f could be introduced as a potent tyrosinase inhibitor that might be a promising candidate in the cosmetics, medicine, and food industry.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Thiazole-Based Derivatives as Potential Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors.

Project description:Nineteen new thiazole-based derivatives were synthesized and their structures characterized with analytical and spectral data. The in vitro assessment of their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity revealed that compounds 10 and 16 produced potent AChE inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 103.24 and 108.94 nM, respectively. Compounds 13, 17, 18, 21, 23, 31, and 33 displayed moderate activity with 25-50% relative potency compared to the known potent AChE inhibitor donepezil. Molecular docking studies of the active compounds docked within the active site cavity of AChE showed a binding orientation similar to that of donepezil, with good predicted binding affinities. These compounds could therefore be considered as potential lead compounds for the development of new and potentially improved AChE inhibitors.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of substituted acetamide derivatives as potential butyrylcholinestrase inhibitors.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of age-related dementia. Inhibition of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) emerge as an effective therapeutic target for AD. A series of new substituted acetamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit BChE. The bioassay results revealed that several compounds displayed attractive inhibition against BChE). Among them, compound 8c exhibited the highest BChE inhibition with IC50 values of 3.94 μM. Lineweaver Burk plot indicated that 8c acted as a mixed-type BChE inhibitor. In addition, docking studies confirmed the results obtained through in vitro experiments, and showed that 8c bound to the catalytic anionic site (CAS) and peripheral anionic site (PAS) of BChE active site. Meanwhile, its ADME parameters were approximated using in silico method. Molecular dynamics simulation studies on the complex of 8c-BChE were performed, RMSD, RMSF, Rg, SASA, and the number of hydrogen bonds were calculated as well. These results implied that 8c could serve as appropriate lead molecule for the development of BChE inhibitor.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of unsymmetrical curcumin analogues as tyrosinase inhibitors.

Project description:Synthesis and biological evaluation of unsymmetrical curcumin analogues (UCAs) have been achieved. Tyrosinase inhibitory activities were found for most of the prepared synthetic UCAs. Among them, compounds containing 4-hydroxyl-substituted phenolic rings with C-2/C-4- or C-3/C-4-dihydroxyl-substituted diphenolic rings were more active (IC(50) = 1.74~16.74 ?M) than 4-butylresorcinol and kojic acid, which suggested that the 4-hydroxyl groups in UCAs play a crucial role in tyrosinase inhibitory activities. The inhibition kinetics analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk plots revealed compounds 3c and 3i containing catecholic rings were mixed-competitive inhibitors, whereas compounds 3d and 3j containing resorcinolic rings were competitive inhibitors. The preliminary evaluation results of acute toxicity showed the representative 3d and 3j were non-toxic in mice dosed at 1,200 mg/kg. This research suggests that, with the advantage of being readily prepared small molecules, polyphenolic UCAs have the potential to develop into pharmacological inhibitors of tyrosinase.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of cinnamic acid ester derivatives as mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors.

Project description:Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in melanin biosynthesis, and is also involved in the enzymatic browning of plant-derived foods. Tyrosinase inhibitors are very important in medicine, cosmetics and agriculture. In order to develop more active and safer tyrosinase inhibitors, an efficient approach is to modify natural product scaffolds. In this work, two series of novel tyrosinase inhibitors were designed and synthesized by the esterification of cinnamic acid derivatives with paeonol or thymol. Their inhibitory effects on mushroom tyrosinase were evaluated. Most of these compounds (IC50: 2.0 to 163.8 μM) are found to be better inhibitors than their parent compounds (IC50: 121.4 to 5925.0 μM). Among them, (E)-2-acetyl-5-methoxyphenyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylate (5a), (E)-2-acetyl-5-methoxyphenyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate (5g) and (E)-2-isopropyl-5-methylphenyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylate (6a) showed strong inhibitory activities; the IC50 values were 2.0 μM, 8.3 μM and 10.6 μM, respectively, compared to the positive control, kojic acid (IC50: 32.2 μM). Analysis of the inhibition mechanism of 5a, 5g and 6a demonstrated that their inhibitory effects on tyrosinase are reversible. The inhibition kinetics, analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk plots, revealed that 5a acts as a non-competitive inhibitor while 5g and 6a are mixed-type inhibitors. Furthermore, docking experiments were carried out to study the interactions between 6a and mushroom tyrosinase.

Project description:A series of 12 compounds was designed and synthesized, based on 2-mercaptobenzoxazole derivatives containing either the substituted benzenes 4a-d, substituted isatins 5a-f, or heterocycles 6a-b. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of the compounds was evaluated against hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), mammary gland cancer (MCF-7), breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), and the epithelioid cervix carcinoma (HeLa) cancer cell lines. Compounds 4b, 4d, 5d, and 6b had the most potent antiproliferative activity, with IC50 values ranging from 2.14 to 19.34 µM, compared to the reference drugs, doxorubicin and sunitinib. Compound 6b revealed a remarkably broad antitumor activity pattern against HepG2 (IC50 6.83 µM), MCF-7 (IC50 3.64 µM), MDA-MB-231 (IC50 2.14 µM), and HeLa (IC50 5.18 µM). In addition, compound 6b showed potent inhibitory activities against EGFR, HER2, VEGFR2, and the CDK2 protein kinase enzymes, with IC50 values of 0.279, 0.224, 0.565, and 0.886 µM, respectively. Moreover, compound 6b induced caspase-dependent apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Finally, a molecular docking simulation was performed for compound 6b to predict the potential ligand-protein interactions with the active sites of the EGFR, HER2, and VEGFR2 proteins.
