Thiazol-4(5H)-one analogs as potent tyrosinase inhibitors: Synthesis, tyrosinase inhibition, antimelanogenic effect, antioxidant activity, and in silico docking simulation
Bioorg Med Chem. 2023 Dec 24;98:117578. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2023.117578. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs the β-phenyl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl (PUSC) structure was previously identified to play a key role in tyrosinase inhibition, 14 analogs with a PUSC structure built on a thiazol-4(5H)-one scaffold were synthesized using Knoevenagel condensation to serve as potential tyrosinase inhibitors. Through mushroom tyrosinase inhibition experiments, two analogs 9 and 11 were identified as potent tyrosinase inhibitors, with 11 exhibiting an IC50 value of 0.4 ± 0.01 μM, which indicates its 26-fold greater potency than kojic ac...

ω-(5-Phenyl-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)alkyl-substituted glycine amides and related compounds as inhibitors of the amine oxidase vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1)
Bioorg Med Chem. 2023 Dec 12;98:117558. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2023.117558. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1), also known as plasma amine oxidase or semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase, is an enzyme that degrades primary amines to aldehydes with the formation of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. Among others, it plays a role in inflammatory processes as it can mediate the migration of leukocytes from the blood to the inflamed tissue. We prepared a series of ω-(5-phenyl-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)alkyl-substituted glycine amides and related compounds and tested them for inhibition of purified bovine plasma...
