The natural-based optimization of kojic acid conjugated to different thio-quinazolinones as potential anti-melanogenesis agents with tyrosinase inhibitory activity

Melanin pigment and melanogenesis are a two-edged sword. Melanin has a radioprotection role while melanogenesis has undesirable effects. Targeting the melanogenesis pathway, a series of kojyl thioether conjugated to different quinazolinone derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their anti-tyrosinase activity and all derivatives displayed better potency than kojic acid as the positive control. In this regard, 5j and 5h as the most active compounds showed an IC50 value of 0.46 and 0.50 μM, respectively. In kinetic evaluation against tyrosinase, 5j depicted an uncompetitive inhibition pattern. Designed compounds also exhibited mild antioxidant capacity. Moreover, 5j and 5h achieved good potency against the B16F10 cell line to reduce the melanin content, whilst showing limited toxicity against malignant cells. The proposed binding mode of new inhibitors evaluated through molecular docking was consistent with the results of structure–activity relationship analysis.

A green and efficient synthesis of 2-thioxoquinazolinone derivatives in water using potassium thiocyanate

Green chemistry is one of the most important routes for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. In this regard, the synthesis of 2-thioxoquinazolinone derivatives was achieved by condensation of versatile materials including isatoic anhydride, amine and potassium thiocyanate in the green medium of water. This convenient and ef?cient method affords the desired products with good to excellent yields.

Development of 2-thioxoquinazoline-4-one derivatives as dual and selective inhibitors of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) and puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase (PSA)

An established inhibitor ot dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), 3-(2,4-dichloro-5-methoxyphenyl)- 2- thioxoquinazoline-4-one (mdivi-1), was recently reported also to show potent puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase (PSA)-inhibitory activity. Herein, we report structural development of mdivi-1 derivatives and structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis of the synthesized compounds, as well as the structurally related PSA-specific inhibitor 3-(2,6-diethylphenyl)quinazoline-2,4-dione (PAQ-22), with the aim of identifying key structural features for inhibitory activity in order to develop selective inhibitors of Drpl, which is a potential target for treatment of Huntington's disease. Among the synthesized compounds, 3-(4-chloro3methoxyphenyl)-2-thioxoquinazoline-4-one 10g) exhibited more potent Drpl-inhibitory activity than mdivi-1 with high selectivity for Drpl over PSA.

Convenient and sequential one-pot route for synthesis of 2-thioxoquinazolinone and quinazolinobenzothiazinedione derivatives

A new and efficient synthetic process has been developed for preparation of 2-thioxoquinazolinone and quinazolinobenzothiazinedione derivatives. The related products were synthesized through reaction of isatoic anhydride, amines/anthranilic acids, and carbon disulfide (CS2) in the presence of potassium hydroxide in ethanol at reflux.
