Taking into consideration the eminence of 1,3-thiazoles in medicinal chemistry and in a view of procuring more pronounced biological contour, the synthesis of 2-(2-arylidenehydrazinyl)-4-arylthiazoles 6–43 was made possible by the cyclization reaction of thiosemicarbazones and α-bromoacetophenones. The thiosemicarbazones 5a-m were in turn synthesized from substituted benzaldehydes or acetophenones and thiosemicarbazide. Optimization of the reaction conditions was carried out in order to attain the target molecules in good yields. All the new compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antiviral activity against the replication of HIV-1 and HIV-2 in MT4 cells using a MTT assay. Screening results indicated that compounds 32–34 are the only compounds in the series inhibiting HIV-1 and HIV-2 replication in cell cultures with IC50 of >2.71, >2.19 and > 1.71 μM, respectively. The molecular docking of compounds 32 and 34 with some amino acids of human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase (HIV RT) were also studied. The preliminary quantum structure-activity relationship (QSAR) among the newly synthesized congeners was obtained by two methods, Multiple Linear Regression (MRL) and Genetic Function Approximation (GFA).

Acarbose, miglitol, and voglibose are the inhibitors of α-glucosidase enzyme and being clinically used for the management of type-II diabetes mellitus. However, many adverse effects are also associated with them. So, the development of new therapeutic agents is an utmost interest in medicinal chemistry research. Current study is based on the identification of new α-glucosidase inhibitors. For that purpose, hydrazinyl arylthiazole based pyridine derivatives 1–39 were synthesized via two step reaction and fully characterized by spectroscopic techniques EI-MS, HREI-MS, 1H-, and 13C NMR. However, stereochemistry of the iminic bond was confirmed by NOESY. All compounds were subjected to in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and found many folds active (IC50 = 1.40 ± 0.01–236.10 ± 2.20 μM) as compared to the standard acarbose having IC50 value of 856.45 ± 5.60 μM. A limited structure-activity relationship was carried out in order to make a presumption about the substituent's effect on inhibitory activity which predicted that substituents of more negative inductive effect played important role in the activity as compared to the substituents of less negative inductive effect. However, in order to have a good understanding of ligand enzyme interactions, molecular docking study was also conducted. In silico study was confirmed that substituents like halogens (Cl) and nitro (NO2) which have negative inductive effect were found to make important interactions with active site residues.
