This study describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-ethoxy-6-formylphenyl [1,1'-biphenyl]-4-sulfonate-based thiosemicarbazones 5(a-s) as potential inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrase isoforms hCA I and hCA II. Among the synthesized compounds, 5 k exhibited potent inhibition, with IC values of 89.25 nM and 54.

Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEI) can be used as an effective palliative treatment for AD. An extensive range of new biologically active 4-(diethylamino) salicylaldehyde-based thiosemicarbazone derivatives 5(a-u) was synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of cholinesterase (ChE) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes.

A series of 1-[(4-methoxyphenyl)sulfonyl]-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde-based thiosemicarbazones 5(a-v) had been synthesized and screened for their potential against AD. The compounds were tested for their inhibitory effects against cholinesterases (AChE and BChE) and monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A).

The inhibition of the key metabolic enzymes of carbohydrates digestion including α-amylase and α-glucosidase are the promising targets for the treatment of diabetes via delaying glucose absorption. Therefore, nitrogen containing saturated heterocycle (pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl and N-methylpiperazinyl) based hydrazones derivatives 5-23 were synthesized through two step reactions and evaluated for their anti-diabetic potential.

At low pH, this enzyme gives an ideal environment to Helicobacter pylori in the stomach which is the cause of gastric ulcers and peptic ulcers. In recent work, we have developed a library of 4-fluorocinnamaldehyde base thiosemicarbazones and assessed them for their potential against urease enzyme.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTyrosinase is an enzyme crucial for the progression of melanogenesis. Immoderate production of melanin may be the cause of hyperpigmentation and darkening leading to skin diseases. Tyrosinase is the most researched target for suppressing melanogenesis since it catalyzes the rate-limiting stage of melanin production.
