Abstract
A series of hydrazine-1-carbothioamides derivatives (3a-3j) were synthesized and analyzed for inhibitory potential towards bovine carbonic anhydrase II (b-CA II) and 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX). Interestingly, four derivatives, 3b, 3d, 3g, and 3j, were found to be selective inhibitors of CA II, while other derivatives exhibited CA II and 15-LOX inhibition. In silico studies of the most potent inhibitors of both b-CA II and 15-LOX were carried out to find the possible binding mode of compounds in their active site. Furthermore, MD simulation results confirmed that these ligands are stably bound to the two targets, while the binding energy further confirmed the inhibitory effects of the 3h compound. As these compounds may have a role in particular diseases, the reported compounds are of great relevance for future applications in the field of medicinal chemistry.
