Nicotinic and isonicotinic thiosemicarbazide or hydrazine carbothioamides 3–27 were synthesized and the structures of synthetic compounds were elucidated by various spectroscopic techniques such as EI-MS, 1H-, and 13C NMR. Synthetic derivatives were evaluated for their urease inhibitory activity which revealed that except few all derivatives demonstrated excellent inhibition in the range of IC50 values

The reaction of 2-isonicotinoyl-N-cyclohexyl/arylhydrazinecarbothioamide (2a-r) with sodium hydroxide, in each case, a single product was obtained. The structures of the compounds were confirmed on the basis of their elemental analysis and spectral data. The single crystal X-ray analysis confirmed the structure of these products as N-4-cyclohexyl/aryl-5-(pyridine-4-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones (3a-r). The in vitro antitumor activity of compounds was screened against three cell lines; BEL-7402, HUH-7 and HepG2 human hepatoma using MTT assay. Sorafenib (50 A mu M) was used as a positive control. The results of the MTT-dye reduction assay indicated that most of the compounds exert potent cytotoxic/antiproliferative effect in a time and dose-dependent manner via induced apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Results also showed that the tested compounds could significantly enhance the activity of caspase-3 which plays a very important role as the central effecter during apoptosis. The effect of different substitutions on the aromatic portion on the activity was found to be in the following order CH3 > OCH3 > I > SO2NH2 > OC2H5 > C2H5 > NO2 > Cl > CH3CONH.

Eighteen N-(4-aryl/cyclohexyl)-2-(pyridine-4-yl carbonyl) hydrazinecarbothioamide derivatives were synthesized, evaluated against ten clinical isolates of Candida spp. and compared with itraconazole. Introduction of p-chloro (2c), p-iodo (2q), m-chloro (2l) and o-nitro (2r) substitution at phenyl ring of thiosemicarbazide enhanced the anti-Candida activity. Compound (2c) bearing p-cholorophenyl ring was found to be the most effective against Candida albicans ATCC 66027, Candida spp. 12810 (blood) and Candida spp. 178 (HVS) with MIC value of 0.09-0.78 mu g/mL, whereas itraconazole exhibits the inhibitory activity with MIC value of 0.04-1.56 mu g/mL against all tested strains. There is a correlation between anti-Candidal activity and p-chloro substitution at phenyl ring of thiosemicarbazide. All synthesized compounds were investigated for their potential cytotoxicity against non cancer cell line MCF-10A. The active compounds 2c, 2r and 2a were further investigated for their cytotoxic effects on three cancer cell lines; HT1080 (skin), HepG2 (liver) and A549 (lung). The active compounds showed minimal cytotoxic activity against non cancer cell line and all three cancer cell lines. Moreover, compound 2c displaying better activity against C. albicans ATCC66027 and Candida spp. [blood] compared to reference drug (itraconazole), represents a good lead for the development of newer, potent and broad spectrum anti-Candidal agents.
