A series of 4-arylthiosemicarbazides substituted at the N1 position with a 5-membered heteroaryl ring was synthesized and evaluated in vitro for T. gondii inhibition proliferation and host cell cytotoxicity. At non-toxic concentrations for the host cells all studied compounds displayed excellent anti-parasitic effects when compared to sulfadiazine, indicating a high selectivity of their anti-T. gondii activity. The differences in bioactivity investigated by DFT calculations suggest that the inhibitory activity of 4-aryl-thiosemicarbazides towards T. gondii proliferation is connected with the electronic structure of the molecule. Further, these compounds were tested as potential antibacterial agents. No growth-inhibiting effect on any of the test microorganisms was observed for all the compounds, even at high concentrations.
研究人员合成了一系列 N1 位被 5 元杂芳基环取代的 4-芳基硫代氨基甲酸盐,并在体外评估了它们对淋球菌增殖的抑制作用和对宿主细胞的细胞毒性。在对宿主细胞无毒的浓度下,与磺胺嘧啶相比,所有研究化合物都显示出了极佳的抗寄生虫效果,这表明它们的抗淋球菌活性具有很高的选择性。通过 DFT 计算研究的生物活性差异表明,4-芳基-硫代氨基甲酸盐对淋球菌增殖的抑制活性与分子的电子结构有关。此外,这些化合物还被测试为潜在的抗菌剂。即使在高浓度下,也没有观察到所有化合物对任何受试微生物有抑制生长的作用。
