- In vitro evaluation of antitrypanosomal activity and molecular docking of benzoylthioureas
-
A series of sixteen benzoylthioureas derivatives were initially evaluated in vitro against the epimastigote form of Trypanosoma cruzi. All of the tested compounds inhibited the growth of this form of the parasite, and due to the promising anti-epimastigot

- Benzoylthioureas: Design, synthesis and antimycobacterial evaluation
-
Background: New drugs and strategies to treat tuberculosis (TB) are urgently needed. In this context, thiourea derivatives have a wide range of biological activities, including anti-TB. This fact can be illustrated with the structure of isoxyl, an old anti-TB drug, which has a thiourea as a pharmacophore group. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the synthesis and the antimycobacterial activity of fifty-nine benzoylthioureas derivatives. Methods: Benzoylthiourea derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis using the MABA assay. After that, a structure-activity relationship study of this series of compounds has been performed. Results and Discussion: Nineteen compounds exhibited antimycobacterial activity between 423.1 and 9.6 μM. In general, we observed that the presence of bromine, chlorine and t-Bu group at the para-position in benzene ring plays an important role in the antitubercular activity of Series A. These substituents were fixed at this position in benzene ring and other groups such as Cl, Br, NO2 and OMe were introduced in the benzoyl ring, leading to the derivatives of Series B. In general, Series B was less cytotoxic than Series A, which indicates that the presence of a substituent at benzoyl ring contributes to an improvement in both antimycobacterial activity and toxicity profiles. Conclusion: Compound 4c could be considered a good prototype to be submitted to further structural modifications in the search for new anti-TB drugs, since it is 1.8 times more active than the first line anti-TB drug ethambutol and 0.65 times less active than isoxyl.

- N, N′ N″-trisubstituted guanidines: Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of their leishmanicidal activity
-
Leishmaniasis is a group of diseases caused by protozoan parasites from the genus Leishmania. There are estimated 1.3 million new cases annually with a mortality of 20,000–30,000 per year, when patients are left untreated. Current chemotherapeutic drugs available present high toxicity and low efficacy, the latter mainly due to the emergence of drug-resistant parasites, which makes discovery of novel, safe, and efficacious antileishmanial drugs mandatory. The present work reports the synthesis, characterization by ESI-MS, 1H and 13C NMR, and FTIR techniques as well as in vitro and in vivo evaluation of leishmanicidal activity of guanidines derivatives presenting lower toxicity. Among ten investigated compounds, all being guanidines containing a benzoyl, a benzyl, and a substituted phenyl moiety, LQOF-G2 (IC50-ama 5.6 μM; SI = 131.8) and LQOF-G7 (IC50-ama 7.1 μM; SI = 87.1) were the most active against L. amazonensis intracellular amastigote, showing low cytotoxicity to the host cells according to their selectivity index. The most promising compound, LQOF-G2, was further evaluated in an in vivo model and was able to decrease 60% of the parasite load in foot lesions at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg/day. Moreover, this guanidine derivative demonstrated reduced hepatotoxicity compared to other leishmanicidal compounds and did not show nephrotoxicity, as determined by the analyses of biomarkers of hepatic damage and renal function, which make this compound a potential new hit for therapy against leishmaniasis.

- Synergism of fused bicyclic 2-aminothiazolyl compounds with polymyxin B against: Klebsiella pneumoniae
-
A series of fused bicyclic 2-aminothiazolyl compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their synergistic effects with polymyxin B (PB) against Klebsiella pneumoniae (SIPI-KPN-1712). Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited synergistic activity. When 4 μg ml-1 compound B1 was combined with PB, it showed potent antibacterial activity, achieving 64-fold reduction of the MIC of PB. Furthermore, compound B1 showed prominent synergistic efficacy in both concentration gradient and time-kill curves in vitro. In addition, B1 combined with PB also exhibited synergistic and partial synergistic effect against E. coli (ATCC25922 and its clinical isolates), Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC19606 and its clinical isolates), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pae-1399).

- Structural requirement(s) of N-phenylthioureas and benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazones as inhibitors of melanogenesis in melanoma B 16 cells
-
In order to define the structural requirements of phenylthiourea (PTU), a series of thiourea and thiosemicarbazone analogs were prepared and evaluated as inhibitors of melanogenesis in melanoma B16 cells. The most potent analog was 2-(4-tert-butylbenzylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (1u) with an IC50 value of 2.7 μM in inhibition of melanogenesis. The structure for potent inhibitory activity of these derivatives are required with the direct connection of π-planar structure to thiourea without steric hinderance in PTU derivatives and the hydrophobic substituent at para position in case of semicarbazones.

- Improved Procedures for the Preparation of Cycloalkyl-, Arylalkyl-, and Arylthioureas
-
An improved procedure for the preparation of arylthioureas consists of the reaction of benzoyl isothiocyanate with anilines in acetone and debenzoylation of the resultant N-aryl-N'-benzoylthioureas with 5percent aqueous sodium hydroxide.Bicycloalkylthioureas and N-(arylalkyl)thioureas (e.g. 9H-9-fluorenylthiourea) are directly prepared from the corresponding isothiocyanates and ammonia.
