چکیده
In order to determine the optimum size of heterocycle of lead compound 1 (6-methyl-3-phenethyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinoline-2-thione; IC(50)=0.8 microM) for inhibition of melanogenesis, we have synthesized and evaluated some benzimdazole-2(3H)-thiones 5a-e. The preliminary bioassay has shown that the benzimdazole-2(3H)-thione motif of 5 is essential structural unit for their inhibitory activity. Among all thiones 5a-e, the compound 5d strongly inhibited the formation of melanin with IC(50) value of 1.3 microM.

Identification of indoline-2-thione analogs as novel potent inhibitors of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone induced melanogenesis.
Based on the hits, 3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-thione (1) and benzimidazole-2-thione (2), a series of indole-2-thione (3) and indole-2-thiol inhibitors (4) of melanogenesis were designed, synthesized and evaluated in melanoma B16 cells under the stimulant of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). The indole-2-thione compounds (3a-g) exhibited an effective inhibitory activity on melanin synthesi...
متن کاملInhibitory effect of glyceollin isolated from soybean against melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells.
Natural products with non-toxic and environmentally friendly properties are good resources for skin-whitening cosmetic agents when compared to artificial synthetic chemicals. Here, we investigated the effect of glyceollin produced to induce disease resistance responses of soybean to specific races of an incompatible pathogen, phytophthora sojae, on melanogenesis and discussed their mechanisms i...
متن کاملFluvastatin increases tyrosinase synthesis induced by alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in B16F10 melanoma cells.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fluvastatin on the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-mediated increase in tyrosinase activity in the melanoma B16F10 cell line and to establish whether Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) inhibition is involved in tyrosinase synthesis after fluvastatin administration. Fluvastatin modulates alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormon...
متن کاملEffect of Angelica gigas extract on melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells.
During the screening of herbs for inhibition of melanogenesis, it was observed that ethanolic extract of Angelicae Gigantis Radix (AGE) effectively inhibited isobutylmethylxanthine-induced melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells. The melanin content was significantly decreased by AGE in a dose-dependent manner, and no cytotoxicity was observed at the effective concentrations. Decreased melanin cont...
متن کاملInduction of constitutive melanogenesis in amelanotic mouse melanoma cells by transfection of the human melanocortin-1 receptor gene.
The human melanocortin-1 (MC1) receptor was stably expressed in the amelanotic mouse melanoma cell clone B16-G4F which does not express its own (mouse) MC1 receptor and hence is unresponsive to alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha MSH). From several stable transfectant cell lines expressing the human MC1 receptor in relatively high numbers, three melanin producing clones (G4F-12, 14, and...
