Background: Melanogenesis is a process of melanin synthesis, which is a primary response for the pigmentation of human skin. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme, which catalyzes a ratelimiting step of the melanin formation. Natural products have shown potent inhibitors, but some of these possess toxicity. Numerous synthetic inhibitors have been developed in recent years may lead to the potent anti– tyrosinase agents. Objective: A number of 4-hydroxy-N'-methylenebenzohydrazide analogues with related structure to chalcone and tyrosine were constructed with various substituents at the benzyl ring of the molecule and evaluate as a tyrosinase inhibitor. In addition, computational analysis and metal chelating potential have been evaluated. Methods: Design and synthesized compounds were evaluated for activity against mushroom tyrosinase. The metal chelating capacity of the potent compound was examined using the mole ratio method. Molecular docking of the synthesized compounds was carried out into the tyrosine active site. Results: Novel 4-hydroxy-N'-methylenebenzohydrazide derivatives were synthesized. The two compounds 4c and 4g showed an IC50 near the positive control, led to a drastic inhibition of tyrosinase. Confirming in vitro results were performed via the molecular docking analysis demonstrating hydrogen bound interactions of potent compounds with histatidine-Cu+2 residues with in the active site. Kinetic study of compound 4g showed competitive inhibition towards tyrosinase. Metal chelating assay indicates the mole fraction of 1:2 stoichiometry of the 4g-Cu2+ complex. Conclusion: The findings in the present study demonstrate that 4-Hydroxy-N'- methylenebenzohydrazide scaffold could be regarded as a bioactive core inhibitor of tyrosinase and can be used as an inspiration for further studies in this area.

New hetero annulated indoles were synthesized and structurally characterized by spectral means. In order to understand the nature of interactions of these molecules, we carried out molecular docking studies using the protein kinase CK2 inhibitors. The docking results provided some useful information for the futuredesign of more potent inhibitors. The in vitro cytotoxicity was evaluated for all the new compounds by MTT assay against HeLa and compared with the standard drug ellipticine. All the compounds showed moderate to potent activity against the cell lines. The preliminary structure–activity relationships were carried out.

In the present paper, new pyrimidine derivatives were designed, synthesized and analyzed in terms of their anticancer properties. The tested compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antitumor activity. The cytotoxic effect on normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) was also determined. According to the results, all the tested compounds exhibited inhibitory activity on the proliferation of all lines of cancer cells (colon adenocarcinoma (LoVo), resistant colon adenocarcinoma (LoVo/DX), breast cancer (MCF-7), lung cancer (A549), cervical cancer (HeLa), human leukemic lymphoblasts (CCRF-CEM) and human monocytic (THP-1)). In particular, their feature stronger influence on the activity of P-glycoprotein of cell cultures resistant to doxorubicin than doxorubicin. Tested compounds have more lipophilic character than doxorubicin, which determines their affinity for the molecular target and passive transport through biological membranes. Moreover, the inhibitory potential against topoisomerase II and DNA intercalating properties of synthesized compounds were analyzed via molecular docking.
