RESUMO
A series of N-substituted morpholines 2-20 was synthesised by reacting various acid chlorides and alkyl halides with morpholine (1). All of the synthesised compounds 2-20 were screened for their leishmanicidal effects using amphotericin B (IC(50) = 0.24 microg L(-1)) and pentamidine (IC(50) = 2.56 microg mL(-1)) as standards and a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study was established. The compounds 2 (IC(50) = 48 microg mL(-1)), 3 (IC(50) = 30.0 microg mL(-1)), 10 (IC(50) = 41.0 microg mL(-1)), 15 (IC(50) = 33.0 microg mL(-1)), 16 (IC(50) = 35.0 microg mL(-1)) and 20 (IC(50) = 47.0 microg mL(-1)) showed weak leishmanicidal activities.

A variety of piperidines (2-12, 14-26) with variable substituents at N-atoms have been synthesized and evaluated as urease inhibitors. The synthesized compounds showed varying degree of urease inhibitory activity ranging from 31.97 to 254 microM. The size and electron-donating or -withdrawing effects of substituents influence the activity, which lead to the formation of urease inhibitors.

Twenty-eight tetraketones (1-28) with variable substituents at C-7 were synthesized and evaluated as tyrosinase inhibitors. Remarkably compounds 25 (IC(50)=2.06 microM), 11 (IC(50)=2.09 microM), 15 (IC(50)=2.61 microM), and 27 (IC(50)=3.19 microM) were found to be the most active compounds of the series, even better than both standards kojic acid (IC(50)=16.67 microM) and L-mimosine (IC(50)=3.68 microM). This study may lead to the discovery of therapeutically potent agents against clinically very important dermatological disorders including hyperpigmentation as well as skin melanoma.

The microwave-assisted synthesis and characterization of the ten new sildenafil (Viagra; 1) analogues 6-15 are described. A detailed structure-activity-relationship (SAR) study revealed that compounds 10 (= 4-ethoxy-N-hydroxy-3-(7-methoxy-1-methyl-3-propyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)benzenesulfonamide) and 12 (= S-(2-hydroxyethyl) 4-ethoxy-3-(7-methoxy-1-methyl-3-propyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)benzenesulfonothioate) are extremely potent mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors, with IC50 values (3.59 and 2.15 microM, resp.) below those of the standard inhibitors L-mimosine and kojic acid (IC50 = 3.68 and 16.67 microM, resp.). Compounds 10 and 12 are, thus, the currently most-effective inhibitors of tyrosinase, and bear great potential to be used for the treatment of various skin disorders such as hyperpigmentation, which is associated with high production of melanocytes.

A variety of biscoumarins (1-21) with variable substituents at C-11 were synthesized with an improved method and evaluated as urease inhibitors. The synthesized compounds showed varying degree of urease inhibitory activity ranging from 15.06-91.35 microM. The size and electron donating or withdrawing effects of substituents influenced the activity, which lead to the urease inhibitors.
