Targeting tyrosinase (TYR), a key enzyme responsible for melanogenesis disorders, is a well-known approach utilized for the development of melanogenesis inhibitor. A variety of dermatological disorders and microbial skin infections can cause hyperpigmentation. Hence, exploring new scaffolds for the treatment of melanogenesis disease is an inspiring goal. In this context, a series of varyingly substituted flavone-based hydrazones have been designed, synthesized and characterized successfully. The present study describes the discovery of novel mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors (TIs) for treating hyperpigmentation. In due course, flavone scaffold has been incorporated into the novel chemotypes that exhibit in vitro inhibitory effects against mushroom tyrosinase for the purpose of discovering anti‐melanogenic agents. Biological investigations of prepared analogs herein demonstrated moderate to excellent activity against most of the fungal-bacterial strains and their activity is comparable to those of commercially available antibiotics i.e., Ciprofloxacin and Ketoconazole. Based on in vitro tyrosinase inhibitory assay, some compounds exhibited potent inhibition particularly, 3g (IC50 = 1.40 ± 0.16 μM), 3j (IC50 = 0.95 ± 0.07 μM), 3o (IC50 = 1.13 ± 0.11 μM), and 3q (IC50 = 1.01 ± 0.1 μM) showed best inhibition i.e., 0.7, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.5 folds, respectively, than kojic acid (IC50 = 1.79 ± 0.6 μM). Lineweaver-Burk plots demonstrated that the most potential derivative 3j tyrosinase inhibition proceeds via non-competitive pathway and the Michaelis-Menton constant (Km) value is 0.0265. Molecular modeling was performed for all tested analogs (3a–3q) using a model of mushroom tyrosinase to find crucial binding modes liable for inhibitory activity. The SARs were preliminarily examined, and the docking study revealed that analogs 3j, 3o and 3p had a strong binding association to tyrosinase (2Y9X). Furthermore, a drug-likeness study was employed and confirmed the favorable activity of the new analogs as a new anti-tyrosinase agent.

A series of flavones, carrying halogens, methoxy and nitro groups at various positions were synthesized by the Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement and were subsequently converted to 4-thioflavones and 4-iminoflavones. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity against Trichophyton longifusus, Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, Microsporum canis, Fusarium solani and Candida glabrata. All synthesized compounds showed significant activity against T. longusus, A. flavus, M. canis and F. Solani but inactive against C. albicans and C. glabrata, respectively. 2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-thiones were relatively more active than flavones and 4-iminoflavones. However, some compounds were even more active than standard miconazol and amphotericin B drugs.
