A novel series of coumarin derivatives 6a–o, bearing isoxazole moieties were designed and synthesized. After that, they were evaluated for melanin synthesis in murine B16 cells and inhibitory effect on the growth of CA (Candida albicans), EC (Escherichia coli), SA (Staphylococcus aureus). It was found that eleven compounds (6b–f, 6j–o) showed a better activity on melanin synthesis than positive control (8-MOP). Among them, compounds 6d (242%) and 6f (390%), with nearly 1.6 and 2.6-fold potency compared with 8-MOP (149%) respectively, were recognized as the most promising candidate hits for further pharmacological study of anti-vitiligo. Seven halogen substituted compounds exhibited moderate antimicrobial activity against CA. It is interesting that 6e–f and 6l–m, which had two halogens on the benzene showed a comparable activity with Amphotericin B against CA. The evaluation of melanin synthesis in B16 cells and inhibitory effect on bacteria of above structurally diverse derivatives had also led to an outline of structure-activity relationship.

A new series of chalcone derivatives 1–18, bearing isoxazole moieties were designed and synthesized, and biologically evaluated for their activity on mushroom tyrosinase and melanin synthesis in murine B16 cells. The result indicated that most of prepared compounds 1–18 showed potent activating effect on tyrosinase, especially for 1–2, 4, 6–7, 9 and 15. Among them, compounds 2, 4 and 9 demonstrated the best activity with EC50?=?1.3, 2.5 and 3.0?μmol·L?1respectively, much better than the positive control 8-methoxypsoralan (8-MOP, EC50?=?14.8?μmol·L?1); In B16 cells, all the tested compounds exhibited a stronger activity on melanogenesis than 8-MOP (with the value of 115%). It was interesting that derivatives substituted with halogen (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9) were generally more potent. Compounds 2 (463%) and 18 (438%) with 3 and 4-fold potency compared with 8-MOP respectively, were recognized as the most promising candidate hits for further pharmacological study of anti-vitiligo.

experimental part, p. 2685 - 2689 (2011/07/07)
A series of novel 2-cyanoacrylates containing an isoxazole moiety were designed and synthesized. Their structures were characterized by 1H NMR and elemental analysis (or high-resolution mass spectrometry). Their herbicidal activities against four species were evaluated, and the results indicated that some of the title compounds showed excellent herbicidal activities against rape and amaranth pigweed in postemergence treatment even at a dose of 75 g/ha.
