Claisen-Schmidt condensation of 3-formyl-9-methylcarbazole with various amides of 3-aminoacetophenone afforded N-{3-[3-(9-methyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)- acryloyl]-phenyl}-benzamide/amide derivatives. All compounds were investigated for their in vitro xanthine oxidase (XO), tyrosinase and melanin production inhibitory activity. Most of the target compounds had more potent XO inhibitory activity than the standard drug (IC50 = 4.3-5.6 μM). Interestingly, compound 7q bearing cyclopropyl ring was found to be the most potent inhibitor of XO (IC50 = 4.3 μM). Molecular modelling study gave an insight into its binding modes with XO. Compounds 7a, 7d, 7e, 7g, and 7k were found to be potent inhibitors of tyrosinase (IC50 = 14.01-17.52 μM). These results suggest the possible use of these compounds for the design and development of novel XO and tyrosinase inhibitors.
