New derivatives were synthesised by reaction of amino-containing aromatic sulphonamides with mono-, bi-, and tricyclic anhydrides. These sulphonamides were investigated as human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs, EC 4.2.1.1) I, II, IX, and XII inhibitors. hCA I was inhibited with inhibition constants (Kis) ranging from 49 to >10,000 nM. The physiologically dominant hCA II was significantly inhibited by most of the sulphonamide with the Kis ranging between 2.4 and 4515 nM. hCA IX and hCA XII were inhibited by these sulphonamides in the range of 9.7 to 7766 nM and 14 to 316 nM, respectively. The structure–activity relationships (SAR) are rationalised with the help of molecular docking studies.

Background: The use of tyrosinase has confirmed to be the best means of recognizing safe, effective, and potent tyrosinase inhibitors for whitening skin. Twenty-four 2-phenoxy(thiomethyl)pyridotriazolopyrimidines were synthesized and characterized in our previous studies. Objective: The present work aimed to evaluate their cytotoxicity against HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma), A549 (pulmonary adenocarcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) and WRL 68 (embryonic liver) cell lines. Methods: MTT assay was employed to investigate the cytotoxicity, and a tyrosinase inhibitor screening kit was used to evaluate the Tyrosinase (TYR) inhibitory activity of the targets. Results: The tested compounds exhibited no considerable cytotoxicity, and nine of them were selected for a tyrosinase inhibitory test. Compounds 2b, 2m, and 5a showed good inhibitory percentages against TYR compared to that of kojic acid (reference substance). Molecular docking was performed to rationalize the Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) of the target pyridotriazolopyrimidines and analyze the binding between the docked-selected compounds and the amino acid residues in the active site of tyrosinase. Conclusion: The target pyridotriazolopyrimidines were identified as a new class of tyrosinase inhibitors.

The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) plays an important role in pathological fibrosis and cancer transformation. Therefore, the inhibition of the TGF-β signaling pathway has therapeutic potential in the treatment of cancer. In this study, the binding modes between 47 molecules with a pyrrolotriazine-like backbone structure and transforming growth factor-beta type 1 receptor (TβR1) were simulated by molecular docking using Discovery Studio software, and their structure–activity relationships were analyzed. On the basis of the analysis of the binding modes of ligands in the active site and the structure–activity relationships, 29,254 new compounds were designed for virtual screening. According to the aforementioned analyses and Lipinski’s rule of five, five new compounds (CQMU1901–1905) with potential activity were screened through molecular docking. Among them, CQMU1905 is an attractive molecule composed of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), and 5-azacytosine. Interestingly, 5-FU, 6-MP, and 5-azacytidine are often used as anti-metabolic agents in cancer treatment. Compared with existing compounds, CQMU1901–1905 can interact with target proteins more effectively and have good potential for modification, making them worthy of further study.
