In the presence of trifluoracetic acid (TFAA), an efficient method for the synthesis of tetra(hexa)hydropyrimidinethione-carboxylates has been used on the basis of three-component condensation of thiourea with its different aldehydes and β-diketones. Some novel cyclic thioureas were synthesized, and their hCA I, hCA II, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors and metal-chelating properties were evaluated. K values of novel synthesized compounds for AChE and BChE are in the range of 51.84-135.96 and 143.96-274.55 nM, respectively. Also, HCA I and II were effectively inhibited by these novel compounds, with K values in the range of 404.16-745.13 nM for hCA I and of 434.20-689.57 nM for hCA II, respectively. Additionally, acetazolamide (AZA), clinically used as a CA inhibitor, with a K value of 883.68 ± 121.27 nM in hCA I and 1008.66 ± 144.70 nM in hCA II. Also, tacrine inhibited AChE and BChE showed K values of 314.63 ± 31.66 and 373.57 ± 75.07 nM, respectively.
2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl 6-methyl-2-oxo-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate, is a cyclic urea derivative synthesized from urea, 2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl acetoacetate and substituted benzaldehyde, and tested in terms of the inhibition of two physiologically relevant carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes I and II. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is found in high concentrations in the red blood cells and brain. Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is another enzyme abundantly present in the liver and released into blood in a soluble form. Also, they were tested for the inhibition of
Abstract1-(4-Methylsulfonyl)-2-thione-4-aryl-5-Z-6-methyl and oxyalkyl-imidazoles were synthesized from different tetrahydropyrimidinethiones and aryl sulfonyl chloride. These compunds were tested for metal chelating effects and to determine the phrase in which inhibition occured between two physiologically pertinent compunds and carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes I and II (hCA I and II), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). AChE was detected in high concentrations in the brain and red blood cells. BChE is another enzymes that is abundant available in the liver and released into the blood in a soluble form. Newly synthesized hetaryl sulfonamides exhibited impressive inhibition profiles with Ki values in the range of 1.42–6.58 nM against hCA I, 1.72–7.41 nM against hCA II, 0.20–1.14 nM against AChE and 1.55–5.92 nM against BChE. Moreover, acetazolamide showed Ki values of 43.69 ± 6.44 nM against hCA I and 31.67 ± 8.39 nM against hCA II. Additionally, tacrine showed Ki values of 25.75 ± 3.39 nM and 37.82 ± 2.08 against AChE and BChE, respectively.
During this investigation, N,N'-bis-azidomethylamines, N,N'-bis-cyanomethylamine, new alkoxymethylamine and chiral derivatives, which are considered to be a new generation of multifunctional compounds, were synthesized, functional properties were investigated, and anticholinergic and antidiabetic properties of those compounds were studied through the laboratory tests, and it was approved that they contain physiologically active compounds rather than analogues. Novel N-bis-cyanomethylamine and alkoxymethylamine derivatives were effective inhibitors of the α-glycosidase, cytosolic carbonic anhydrase I and II isoforms, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with K values in the range of 0.15-13.31 nM for α-glycosidase, 2.77-15.30 nM for human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I (hCA I), 3.12-21.90 nM for human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes II (hCA II), 23.33-73.23 nM for AChE, and 3.84-48.41 nM for BChE, respectively. Indeed, the inhibition of these metabolic enzymes has been considered as a promising factor for pharmacologic intervention in a diversity of disturbances.
Compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur atoms can be widely used in various fields such as industry, medicine, biotechnology and chemical technology. Therefore, the reactions of aminomethylation and alkoxymethylation of mercaptobenzothiazole, mercaptobenzoxazole and 2-aminothiazole were developed. Additionally, the alkoxymethyl derivatives of mercaptobenzoxazole and 2-aminothiazole were synthesized by a reaction with hemiformals, which are prepared by the reaction of alcohols and formaldehyde. In this study, the inhibitory effects of these molecules were investigated against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes and carbonic anhydrase I, and II isoenzymes (hCA I and II). Both hCA isoenzymes were significantly inhibited by the recently synthesized molecules, with K values in the range of 58-157 nM for hCA I, and 81-215 nM for hCA II. Additionally, the K parameters of these molecules for BChE and AChE were calculated in the ranges 23-88 and 18-78 nM, respectively.
The conversion reactions of pyrimidine-thiones with nucleophilic reagent were studied during this scientific research. For this purpose, new compounds were synthesized by the interaction between 1,2-epoxy propane, 1,2-epoxy butane, and 4-chlor-1-butanol and pyrimidine-thiones. These pyrimidine-thiones derivatives (A-K) showed good inhibitory action against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoforms I and II. AChE inhibition was in the range of 93.1 ± 33.7-467.5 ± 126.9 nM. The hCA I and II were effectively inhibited by these compounds, with K values in the range of 4.3 ± 1.1-9.1 ± 2.7 nM for hCA I and 4.2 ± 1.1-14.1 ± 4.4 nM for hCA II. On the other hand, acetazolamide clinically used as CA inhibitor showed K value of 13.9 ± 5.1 nM against hCA I and 18.1 ± 8.5 nM against hCA II. The antioxidant activity of the pyrimidine-thiones derivatives (A-K) was investigated by using different in vitro antioxidant assays, including Cu and Fe reducing, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH ) radical scavenging, and Fe chelating activities.
