Abstract

Hydrazides have been reported to have a broad spectrum of bioactivities, such as anticancer, antifungal, antibacterial, and antidiabetic. Thus, our work aimed to synthesize N'-arylidene-4-hydroxybenzohydrazides and investigate their α-glucosidase inhibition. Three compounds (AD-H1-3) were synthesized with a yield of product from 33 to 65% and then characterized using 1H-and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition demonstrated that AD-H2 possessing two hydroxy groups on arylidene moiety showed the best inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase enzyme with an IC50 value of 14.4 µM compared with acarbose as a positive control with IC50 value of 93.6 µM. Thus, AD-H2 could be a candidate as a lead compound for antidiabetics.

Abstract

Tyrosinase is a crucial enzyme in melanin production to protect the skin from ultraviolet, leading to skin cancers. This study synthesized eight compounds of acyl resorcinol with long-chain carbon (1-8) and structurally elucidated by 1H and 13C NMR. The in vitro evaluation of eight synthesized compounds against tyrosinase enzyme showed that 4-heptanoyl resorcinol (6) exhibited high inhibitory activity compared with the kojic acid as standard. In addition, the molecular docking study demonstrated that 6 showed lower binding energy (-7.3 kcal/mol) than kojic acid (-6.9 kcal/mol) and possessed interaction with crucial residues in the active site.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize and evaluate the inhibitory activity of thymol derivatives targeting ?-glucosidase using in vitro and in silico studies. Ten thymol derivatives (2-11) including five new thymol-fused chalcones (7-11) were successfully synthesized. Among them, four compounds (4, 8, 9, 11) showed the best inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 18.45, 13.75, 8.86, and 10.67µM compared with acarbose (IC50 = 832.82 µM), respectively. The kinetic study of three new thymol-fused chalcones (8, 9, 11) exhibited a competitive inhibition. Molecular docking demonstrated the predicted interactions between ligand (8, 9, 11) and ?-glucosidase, which are responsible for inhibiting the enzyme's catalytic abilities. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulation of the enzyme-ligand 9 complex indicated that this complex was stable in aqueous condition. This research contributes significantly to the understanding of thymol-fused chalcones that may have therapeutic potential and their possible application in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) for further study.

Abstract

Nine resorcinol derivatives were evaluated for their ability to inhibit yeast α‐glucosidase using the in vitro method. Three molecular docking programs (Autodock Vina, Autodock4 and DockThor) were employed to determine the binding energies. The results showed that two resorcinol derivatives possessing butanoyl (1) and butyl (9) groups demonstrated good inhibitory activity against α‐glucosidase, with IC50 values of 75.9 and 33.3 µM respectively, compared with other derivatives (2–8) and acarbose (IC50 = 832.8 µM). Furthermore, molecular docking indicated that compounds 1 and 9 had better binding affinities than acarbose and the native ligand. Both compounds showed similar interactions with Asp349 and Glu408, which were associated with acarbose and the native ligand. Moreover, molecular dynamics analysis indicated that compound 9 exhibited greater stability than compound 1 when complexed with α‐glucosidase. Therefore, compound 9 has the potential for further studies, both in vitro and in vivo, to evaluate its toxicity, side effects and efficacy.

Abstract

Tyrosinase inhibitors are utilized as preservatives in the food industry and skin-lightening agents in the medical and cosmetic sectors. However, there has been little progress in clinical trials owing to challenges such as low bioavailability, significant skin irritation, and instability. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory activity of 3’,4’,5’-trimethoxychalcones through in vitro, molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies targeting tyrosinase. Five 3’,4’,5’-trimethoxychalcones (1-5) were evaluated their biological activity against tyrosinase for the first time. Compounds 4 and 5 were excellent inhibitory activity against tyrosinase with IC50 values of 1.9 and 1.7 μm compared with kojic acid and ascorbic acid. Isovanillin and catechol moieties are vital in this present study. This result was supported with molecular docking by shaping interaction in the catalytic site with histidine residues and the stability evaluation of the inhibitor-protein complexes using molecular dynamics simulation. The lipinski’s rules showed a fit with two potential inhibitors (4, 5). Therefore, 3’,4’,5’-trimethoxychalcones possessing isovanillin and catechol parts in the B ring are promising candidate for further study as tyrosinase inhibitors by evaluating their efficacy in vitro and in vivo.
