The influenza virus PA endonuclease is an attractive target for the development of novel anti-influenza virus therapeutics, which are urgently needed because of the emergence of drug-resistant viral strains. Reported PA inhibitors are assumed to chelate the divalent metal ion(s) (Mg2+ or Mn2+) in the enzyme's catalytic site, which is located in the N-terminal part of PA (PA-Nter). In the present work, a series of salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the PA-Nter catalytic activity. Compounds 1-6 have been evaluated against influenza virus, both in enzymatic assays with influenza virus PA-Nter and in virus yield assays in MDCK cells. In order to establish a structure-activity relationship, the hydrazone analogue of the most active thiosemicarbazone has also been evaluated. Since chelation may represent a mode of action of such class of molecules, we studied the interaction of two of them, one with and one without biological activity versus the PA enzyme, towards Mg2+, the ion that is probably involved in the endonuclease activity of the heterotrimeric influenza polymerase complex. The crystal structure of the magnesium complex of the o-vanillin thiosemicarbazone ligand 1 is also described. Moreover, docking studies of PA endonuclease with compounds 1 and 2 were performed, to further analyse the possible mechanism of action of this class of inhibitors.

Thiosemicarbazone Schiff bases (1 and 2) derived from 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, indoline-3-carbaldehyde and thiosemicarbazone have been synthesized and their structures were elucidated by elemental analysis. FT-IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and UV-visible spectroscopic techniques. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 have also been examined cyrstallographically. The title compounds 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic space group C-2/c and triclinic space group P (1) over bar, with unit cell parameters: a = 21.421 (1) and 7.233(1), b = 4.131(1) and 11.166(1), c = 24.942(2) and 13.648(1) angstrom, V = 1856.1(2) and 1019.5(1) angstrom(3), D-x = 1.512 and 1.422 g cm(-3) and Z = 8 and 4, respectively.
