Efficient, rapid, and high-yield synthesis of aryl Schiff base derivatives and their in vitro and in silico inhibition studies of hCA I, hCA II, AChE, and BuChE.

This study reports a rapid and efficient synthesis of four novel aryl Schiff base derivatives. Biological activity and molecular modeling studies were conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effects of these compounds on human carbonic anhydrases (hCA) and cholinesterases. The results indicate that the triazole-ring-containing compounds have strong inhibitory effects on hCA I, hCA II, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) targets. Besides comparing the Schiff bases synthesized in our study to reference molecules, we conducted in silico investigations to examine how these compounds interact with their targets. Our studies revealed that these compounds can occupy binding sites and establish interactions with crucial residues, thus inhibiting the functions of the targets. These findings have significant implications as they can be utilized to develop more potent compounds for treating the diseases that these target proteins play crucial roles in or to obtain drug precursors with enhanced efficacy.

Synthesis and carbonic anhydrase inhibitory properties of novel bromophenols and their derivatives including natural products: vidalol B.

A series of bisphenol, bromophenol, and methoxyphenol derivatives (2-24) including the natural bromophenols vidalol B, 3,4,6-tribromo-5-(2,5-dibromo-3,4-dihydroxybenzyl)benzene-1,2-diol (2) and 5,5'-methylenebis(3,4,6-tribromo-benzene-1,2-diol) (3) were prepared. In the current study, inhibition of four human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes, I, II, IV, and VI, with these compounds 2-24 was investigated. The compounds 2-24 were found to be promising carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, some of which showed interesting inhibitory activities. Some of the compounds investigated here showed effective hCA inhibitory activity, and might be used as leads for generating novel carbonic anhydrase inhibitors which are valuable drug candidates for the treatment of glaucoma, epilepsy, gastric and duodenal ulcers, neurological disorders, and osteoporosis.

Synthesis and carbonic anhydrase inhibitory properties of novel cyclohexanonyl bromophenol derivatives.

The Naturally occurring novel cyclohexanonyl bromophenol 2(R)-2-(2,3,6-tribromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzyl)cyclohexanone (4) was synthesized as a racemic compound. Cyclohexylphenyl methane derivatives (10-17) with Br, OMe, CO, and OH were also obtained. Inhibition of four human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes I, II, IV, and VI, with compounds 2-4, 8, and 10-26 was investigated. These compounds were found to be promising carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and some of them showed interesting inhibitory activity. Some of the compounds investigated here showed effective hCA inhibitory activity, and might be used as leads for generating novel carbonic anhydrase inhibitors which are valuable drug candidates for the treatment of glaucoma, epilepsy, gastric and duodenal ulcers, neurological disorders, and osteoporosis.
