RESUMEN
Reactions with allyl-, acetyl-, and phenylisothiocyanate have been studied on the basis of 3-amino-4,6-dimethylpyridine-2(1H)-one, 3-amino-4-phenylpyridine-2-one, and 3-amino-4-(thiophene-2-yl)pyridine-2(1H)-one (benzoyl-)isothiocyanates, and the corresponding thioureide derivatives 8-11a-c were obtained. Twelve thiourea derivatives were obtained and studied for their anti-diabetic activity against the enzyme α-glucosidase in comparison with the standard drug acarbose. The comparison drug acarbose inhibits the activity of α-glucosidase at a concentration of 15 mM by 46.1% (IC50 for acarbose is 11.96 mM). According to the results of the conducted studies, it was shown that alkyl and phenyl thiourea derivatives 8,9a-c, in contrast to their acetyl-(benzoyl) derivatives and 10,11a-c, show high antidiabetic activity. Thus, 1-(4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)-3-phenylthiourea 9a has the highest inhibitory activity against the enzyme α-glucosidase, exceeding the activity of the comparison drug acarbose, which inhibits the activity of α-glucosidase by 56.6% at a concentration of 15 mm (IC50 = 9,77 mM). 1-(6-methyl-2-oxo 4-(thiophen-2-yl)-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)-3-phenylthiourea 9c has inhibitory activity against the enzyme α-glucosidase, comparable to the comparison drug acarbose, inhibiting the activity of α-glucosidase at a concentration of 15 mm per 41.2% (IC50 = 12,94 mM). Compounds 8a, 8b, and 9b showed inhibitory activity against the enzyme α-glucosidase, with a lower activity compared to acarbose, inhibiting the activity of α-glucosidase at a concentration of 15 mM by 23.3%, 26.9%, and 35.2%, respectively. The IC50 against α-glucosidase for compounds 8a, 8b, and 9b was found to be 16.64 mM, 19.79 mM, and 21.79 mM, respectively. The other compounds 8c, 10a, 10b, 10c, 11a, 11b, and 11c did not show inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase. Thus, the newly synthesized derivatives of thiourea based on 3-aminopyridine-2(1H)-ones are promising candidates for the further modification and study of their potential anti-diabetic activity. These positive bioanalytical results will stimulate further in-depth studies, including in vivo models.

This article reports on the synthesis of nine promising new 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives based on 3-aminopyridones, containing various acidic linkers. The synthesis was carried out by cyclizing the corresponding thiohydrazides 4a-c and anhydrides of glutaric, maleic, and phthalic acids upon heating in acetic acid solution. The conducted bio-screening of the synthesized new 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives containing different acidic linkers (butanoic, acrylic, and benzoic acids) showed that they have significant inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (up to 95.0%), which is 1.9 times higher than the value for the reference drug acarbose (49.5%). Moreover, one of the 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives with a benzoic acid linker-2-(5-((6-Methyl-2-oxo-4-(thiophen-2-yl)-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)carbamoyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzoic acid (9'b)-showed an IC50 value of 3.66 mM, nearly 3.7 times lower than that of acarbose (IC50 = 13.88 mM). High inhibitory activity was also shown by 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives with a butanoic acid linker (compounds 7b, 7c)-with IC50 values of 6.70 and 8.42 mM, respectively. A correlation between the structure of the compounds and their activity was also established. The results of molecular docking correlated well with the bioanalytical data. In particular, the presence of a butanoic acid linker and a benzoic fragment in compounds 7b, 7c, and 9b increased their binding affinity with selected target proteins compared to other derivatives 3-6 (a-c). Calculations according to Lipinski's rule of five also showed that the synthesized compounds 7b, 7c, and 9b fully comply with Ro5 and meet all criteria for good permeability and acceptable oral bioavailability of potential drugs. These positive bioanalytical results will stimulate further in-depth studies, including in vivo models.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Acne vulgaris (acne) is characterized by both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions. Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) 5% is approved to treat acne but may cause skin irritation and/or contact allergy. OBJECTIVES: To compare the benefit in acne of a multitargeted dermocosmetic cream containing salicylic acid, lipohydroxy acid, niacinamide, 2-oleamido-1,3-octadecanediol, piroctone olamine, zinc, Aqua posae filiformis, and thermal spring water (DC-Eff) to BPO 5% gel. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 150 Caucasian subjects (50% female) aged between 18 and 40 years, with mild to moderate acne according to the GEA (Global Evaluation of Acne) grading system were randomized into two parallel groups (DC-Eff or BPO to be applied twice daily for 56 days). IGA (investigator global assessment), GEA, lesion count, clinical signs and symptoms, and subject assessment were evaluated at baseline, and after 28 and 56 days (D28 and D56) of treatment. RESULTS: The responder analyses of the IGA and GEA scores showed that 62.2% and 47.3%, respectively, in the DC-Eff, compared with 50.0% and 36.5%, respectively, in the BPO, had improved by at least one point at D56. Inflammatory, non-inflammatory, and total lesion counts significantly (p < 0.0001) decreased with both products from baseline, with no between-group difference. Subjects considered that their skin was smoother and that DC-Eff was easy to apply. DC-Eff was better tolerated than BPO. CONCLUSIONS: DC-Eff applied twice daily is as beneficial as BPO in improving mild-to-moderate acne. DC-Eff was better tolerated than BPO and highly appreciated.

The interaction between linear sodium alginate and branched fucoidan were investigated using viscosity and tensiometric measurements. It was shown that water-soluble interpolymer complex is formed. The alginate-fucoidan complexation is due to the formation of a cooperative system of hydrogen bonds between the ionogenic and hidroxyl groups of sodium alginate and fucoidan and hydrophobic interactions. The intensity of the polysaccharide-polysaccharide interaction increases with an increase in the content of fucoidan in the blend. It was established that alginate and fucoidan are weak surfactants of the associative type. The surface activity of fucoidan was 34.6 mNâm2/mol, and for alginate was 20.7 mNâm2/mol. The resulting alginate-fucoidan interpolymer complex exhibits high surface activity and indicates a synergistic effect of combining two polysaccharides. The values of the activation energy of the viscous flow process were 7.0 kJâmol-1, 16.2 for kJâmol-1 and 33.9 kJâmol-1for alginate, fucoidan and their blend, respectively. These studies provide a methodological basis for determining the conditions for preparation of homogeneous film materials with a certain complex of physico-chemical and mechanical properties.

Due to the growth in the incidence of diabetes mellitus throughout the world, the urgency in the search for new safe and effective inhibitors of α-amylase and α-glucosidase is increasing. In this work, we attempted to carry out studies on the synthesis, modification and comprehensive computer and biological research of new derivatives of monothiooxamides. It was shown that monothiooxamides based on 3-aminopyridin-2(1H)-ones enter into transamidation reactions with hydrazine hydrate to form the corresponding thiohydrazides. Furthermore, under the action of chloroacetyl chloride and succinic anhydride, these thiohydrazides are cyclized into conjugated 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives. The possible biological activity of the obtained products was evaluated by molecular docking using the AutoDock Vina program. Compounds 7a and 8b showed higher binding affinities for selected target proteins compared to the known anti-diabetic drugs acarbose and TAK-875. The obtained new derivatives of 1,3,4-thiadiazole showed sufficiently high values of inhibitory activity in the in vitro test against the enzymes α-amylase and α-glucosidase as well as sufficiently low IC50 values (for 8b 122.2 µM), which is 8 times less than the value for the reference drug acarbose (998.3 µM). All synthesized derivatives of monothiooxamides 5-8(a-c) showed no cytotoxic properties at physiological concentrations in the MTT test in human neonatal dermal fibroblasts. Moreover, some compounds (6a-c, 7a-c, 8b,c) showed pronounced cytoprotective activity. Thus, the compounds 5-8(a-c) synthesized by us, both according to the results of computer calculations and in vitro biological screening, showed their potential antidiabetic activity and high prospects for further in-depth studies, including in vivo studies.

The interaction results of 1,2-dibromo-3-isothiocyanatopropane with some pyrazoles as well as cytisine and salsoline alkaloids were presented in this paper. It was shown that the reaction resulted in one one-step and rather mild method for the preparation of the corresponding 1,3-thiazoline bromomethyl derivatives. The yield of this reaction was affected by the presence of a base and an order in which reagents were added. Molecular docking of the synthesized 1,3-thiazoline derivatives for putative antibacterial activity was carried out using the penicillin-binding target protein (PBP4) of the bacteria E. coli "Homo sapiens" and S. aureus "Homo sapiens" as an example. Molecular docking demonstrated that the compounds had insignificant binding energies at the level of selected reference drugs (Cephalotin and Chloramphenicol). The presence of natural alkaloids in the structure of thiazoline derivatives somewhat increased the affinity of these substrates for target proteins selected.

Currently, studies are being conducted on the possible role of the cytoprotective effect of biologically active substances in conditions of cerebral hypoxia or cardiomyopathies. At the same time, oxidative stress is considered one of the important mechanisms of cellular cytotoxicity and a target for the action of cytoprotectors. The aim of this study is to search for derivatives of 3-(arylmethylamino)-6-methyl-4-phenylpyridin-2(1H)-ones. The probability of cytoprotective action was assessed by measuring cell viability using two tests (with neutral red dye and MTT test). It was found that some derivatives of 3-(arylmethylamino)-6-methyl-4-phenylpyridin-2(1H)-ones under the conditions of our experiment had a pronounced cytoprotective activity, providing better cell survival in vitro, including the MTT test and conditions of blood hyperviscosity. To correlate the obtained results in vitro, molecular docking of the synthesized derivatives was also carried out. The standard drug omeprazole (co-crystallized with the enzyme) was used as a standard. It was shown that all synthesized derivatives of 3-(arylmethylamino)-6-methyl-4-phenylpyridin-2(1H)-ones had higher affinity for the selected protein than the standard gastro-cytoprotector omeprazole. The studied derivatives of 3-(arylmethylamino)-6-methyl-4-phenylpyridin-2(1H)-ones also fully satisfy Lipinski's rule of five (RO5), which increases their chances for possible use as orally active drugs with good absorption ability and moderate lipophilicity. Thus, the results obtained make it possible to evaluate derivatives of 3-(arylmethylamino)-6-methyl-4-phenylpyridin-2(1H)-ones as having a relatively high cytoprotective potential.
