Inhibiting tyrosinase is an important goal to prevent melanin accumulation in skin and thereby to inhibit pigmentation disorders. Therefore, tyrosinase inhibitors are an attractive target in cosmetics and treatments for pigmentation disorders. However, on

Aedes aegypti is associated with the transmission of numerous human and animal diseases, such as yellow fever, dengue fever, chikungunya, and more recently Zika virus. Emerging insecticide resistance has created a need to develop new mosquitocidal agents for effective control operations. A series of benzothiazole-piperidine derivatives (1-24) were investigated for their larvicidal and adulticidal effects on Ae. aegypti It was observed that compounds 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 13 showed notable larvicidal activity. Furthermore, compounds 6 and 10 showed promising adulticidal activity. Based on the mosquitocidal properties of these compounds, docking studies were also carried out in the active site of the AeSCP2 enzyme to explore any insights into further in vitro enzyme studies. Docking results indicated that all these active compounds showed reasonable interactions with critical residues in the active site of this enzyme. This outcome suggested that these compounds might show their larvicidal and adulticidal effects via the inhibition of AeSCP2. According to in vitro and in silico studies, compounds 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 13 stand out as candidates for further studies.

2-Heteroarylimino-5-benzylidene-4-thiazolidinones, unsubstituted or carrying hydroxy, methoxy, nitro and chloro groups on the benzene ring, were synthesised and assayed in vitro for their antimicrobial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, yeasts and mould. The antimicrobial activity of the 2-benzo[d]thiazolyl- and of the 2-benzo[d]isothiazolyl-imino-5-benzylidene-4-thiazolidinones is, on the whole, lower in comparison with the high activity detected for the derivatives of the 2-thiazolylimino-5-benzylidene-4-thiazolidinone class. Nevertheless most of the benzo[d]thiazole analogues display good inhibition of the growth of Gram positive bacilli and staphylococci, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus strains. Among the 2-benzo[d]isothiazole analogues a few derivatives show a strong and selective activity against bacilli. Moreover, it is worth noting that the replacement of the thiazole nucleus for the benzo[d]thiazole bicyclic system in the parent 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylimino)thiazolidin-4-one leads to significant antifungal properties against both yeasts and moulds, properties not shown by the analogous 2-thiazolyl- and 2-benzo[d]isothiazolyl-imino)thiazolidin-4-ones. The structure-activity relationship of 33 analogues possessing the 2-heteroarylimino-4-thiazolidinone structure is analysed through QSAR models.

Aldose reductase (AR) is a key enzyme, which triggers the excessive accumulation of sorbitol in insulin independent tissues leading to severe diabetes-induced microvascular complications. Substantial evidence has proven that AR inhibition is a well-establ

Monotargeting anticancer agents suffer from resistance and target nonspecificity concerns, which can be tackled with a multitargeting approach. The combined treatment with HDAC inhibitors and PPARγagonists has displayed potential antitumor effects. Based on these observations, this work involves design and synthesis of molecules that can simultaneously target PPARγand HDAC. Several out of 25 compounds inhibited HDAC4, and six compounds acted as dual-targeting agents. Compound 7i was the most potent, with activity toward PPARγEC50 = 0.245 μM and HDAC4 IC50 = 1.1 μM. Additionally, compounds 7c and 7i were cytotoxic to CCRF-CEM cells (CC50 = 2.8 and 9.6 μM, respectively), induced apoptosis, and caused DNA fragmentation. Furthermore, compound 7c modulated the expression of c-Myc, cleaved caspase-3, and caused in vivo tumor regression in CCRF-CEM tumor xenografts. Thus, this study provides a basis for the rational design of dual/multitargeting agents that could be developed further as anticancer therapeutics.
