Various oximes of arylfurfural were prepared and characterized through elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Mass). Synthesized compounds were tested for their antioxidant, tyrosinase and chemotrypson activities.
The identification of a novel hit compound as integrase binding inhibitor has been accomplished by means of virtual screening techniques. A small family of structurally related molecules has been synthesized and biologically evaluated with one of the compounds showing an IC(50)=12 microM.
