Background: Melanogenesis is a process of melanin synthesis, which is a primary response for the pigmentation of human skin. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme, which catalyzes a ratelimiting step of the melanin formation. Natural products have shown potent inhibitors, but some of these possess toxicity. Numerous synthetic inhibitors have been developed in recent years may lead to the potent anti– tyrosinase agents. Objective: A number of 4-hydroxy-N'-methylenebenzohydrazide analogues with related structure to chalcone and tyrosine were constructed with various substituents at the benzyl ring of the molecule and evaluate as a tyrosinase inhibitor. In addition, computational analysis and metal chelating potential have been evaluated. Methods: Design and synthesized compounds were evaluated for activity against mushroom tyrosinase. The metal chelating capacity of the potent compound was examined using the mole ratio method. Molecular docking of the synthesized compounds was carried out into the tyrosine active site. Results: Novel 4-hydroxy-N'-methylenebenzohydrazide derivatives were synthesized. The two compounds 4c and 4g showed an IC50 near the positive control, led to a drastic inhibition of tyrosinase. Confirming in vitro results were performed via the molecular docking analysis demonstrating hydrogen bound interactions of potent compounds with histatidine-Cu+2 residues with in the active site. Kinetic study of compound 4g showed competitive inhibition towards tyrosinase. Metal chelating assay indicates the mole fraction of 1:2 stoichiometry of the 4g-Cu2+ complex. Conclusion: The findings in the present study demonstrate that 4-Hydroxy-N'- methylenebenzohydrazide scaffold could be regarded as a bioactive core inhibitor of tyrosinase and can be used as an inspiration for further studies in this area.

Curatella Americana

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously generated in the normal biological systems, primarily by enzymes as xanthine oxidase (XO). The inappropriate scavenging or inhibition of ROS has been considered to be linked with aging, inflammatory disorders, and chronic diseases. Therefore, many plants and their products have been investigated as natural antioxidants for their potential use in preventive medicine. The leaves and bark extracts of Curatella americana Linn. were described in scientific research as anti-inflammatory, vasodilator, anti-ulcerogenic, and hypolipidemic effects. So, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant potentials of leaf hydroalcoholic extract from C. americana (HECA) through the scavenging DPPH assay and their main chemical constituents, evaluated by the following quantum chemical approaches (DFT B3LYP/6-31G**): Maps of Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP), Frontier Orbital’s (HOMO and LUMO) followed by multivariate analysis and molecular docking simulations with the xanthine oxidase enzyme. The hydroalcoholic extract showed significant antioxidant activity by free radical scavenging probably due to the great presence of flavonoids, which were grouped in the PCA and HCA analysis with the standard gallic acid. In the molecular docking study, the compounds studied presented the binding free energy (ΔG) values close each other, due to the similar interactions with amino acids residues at the activity site. The descriptors Gap and softness were important to characterize the molecules with antioxidant potential by capturing oxygen radicals.
