Several (thiazol-2-yl)hydrazone derivatives from 2-, 3- and 4-acetylpyridine were synthesized and tested against human monoamine oxidase (hMAO) A and B enzymes. Most of them had an inhibitory effect in the low micromolar/high nanomolar range, being derivatives of 4-acetylpyridine selective hMAO-B inhibitors also at low nanomolar concentrations. The structure-activity relationship, as confirmed by molecular modeling studies, proved that the pyridine ring linked to the hydrazonic nitrogen and the substituted aryl moiety at C4 of the thiazole conferred the inhibitory effects on hMAO enzymes. Successively, the strongest hMAO-B inhibitors were tested toward acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and the most interesting compound showed activity in the low micromolar range. Our results suggest that this scaffold could be further investigated for its potential multi-targeted role in the discovery of new drugs against the neurodegenerative diseases.

Recently we described some (thiazol-2-yl)hydrazones as antiprotozoal, antifungal and anti-MAO agents as well as Gcn5 HAT inhibitors. Among these last compounds, CPTH2 and CPTH6 showed HAT inhibition in cells and broad anticancer properties. With the aim to identify HAT inhibitors more potent than the two prototypes, we synthesized several new (thiazol-2-yl)hydrazones including some related thiazolidines and pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones, and we tested the whole library existing in our lab against human p300 and PCAF HAT enzymes. Some compounds (1x, 1c', 1d', 1i' and 2m) were more efficient than CPTH2 and CPTH6 in inhibiting the p300 HAT enzyme. When tested in human leukemia U937 and colon carcinoma HCT116 cells (100 μM, 30 h), 1x, 1i' and 2m gave higher (U937 cells) or similar (HCT116 cells) apoptosis than CPTH6, and were more potent than CPTH6 in inducing cytodifferentiation (U937 cells).
