Herein, we report the preparation of a panel of Schiff bases analogues as antiprotozoal agents by modification of the stereoelectronic effects of the substituents on N-1 and N-4 and the nature of the chalcogen atom (S, Se). These compounds were evaluated towards Trypanosoma cruzi and Trichomonas vaginalis. Thiosemicarbazide 31 showed the best trypanocidal profile (epimastigotes), similar to benznidazole (BZ): IC50 (31)=28.72 μM (CL-B5 strain) and 33.65 μM (Y strain), IC50 (BZ)=25.31 μM (CL-B5) and 22.73 μM (Y); it lacked toxicity over mammalian cells (CC50 > 256 μM). Thiosemicarbazones 49, 51 and 63 showed remarkable trichomonacidal effects (IC50?=16.39, 14.84 and 14.89 μM) and no unspecific cytotoxicity towards Vero cells (CC50 ≥ 275 μM). Selenoisosters 74 and 75 presented a slightly enhanced activity (IC50=11.10 and 11.02 μM, respectively). Hydrogenosome membrane potential and structural changes were analysed to get more insight into the trichomonacidal mechanism.

In the present study, a novel series of N-((substituted)carbamothioyl)-2,4-dimethylquinoline-3-carboxamide (7a-7s) was synthesized by microwave-assisted method. Structure of these derivatives was examined by spectroscopic techniques such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and ESI-MS. Further, the novel synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in-vitro biological activities against antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, and antituberculosis activity as well as for in-silico study. The antimalarial results demonstrated that compounds 7c and 7q (0.02 μg/mL) have notable potency against Plasmodium falciparum compared with chloroquine (0.02 μg/mL); compounds 7l (0.10 μg/mL), 7e, 7s (0.19 μg/mL), 7b, 7p (0.15 μg/mL), 7a, 7f, and 7f (0.25 μg/mL) also exhibited good activity against P. falciparum compared with quinine (0.26 μg/mL) as standard drug. Docking was performed on PFDHFR-TS, given the effect of compounds against the P. falciparum strain was excellent in comparison with standard drug. Molecular docking suggested that compounds 7b, 7i and 7c, 7e, and 7l closely bind with the active site of protein 3JSU and 4DP3, respectively, and compared with biological activity. We have also carried out molecular dynamics simulation on the best dock compound 7e complex with PDB: 3JSU to check the stability of docked complex and their molecular interaction. The calculated ADME-Tox descriptors for the synthesized compounds validated good pharmacokinetics properties, suggesting that these compounds could be used as hit for the development of the new active agents.

With the aim to explore the interest of the thiosemicarbazide scaffold for the inhibition of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), a promising therapeutic target for anticancer immunotherapy, a series of 32 phenylthiosemicarbazide derivatives was prepared and their IDO inhibition evaluated. Our study demonstrated that among these derivatives, compound 14 characterized with a 4-cyanophenyl group on the thiosemicarbazide was the more potent IDO inhibitor in this series being endowed with an IC50 of 1.2 μM. The SAR depicted showed that substitution in the 3- and 4-position relative to the phenylthiosemicarbazide are very promising whereas substitution in the 2-position always leads to less potent or inactive derivatives. In fact the study highlighted a novel interesting scaffold for IDO inhibition for further development.
