Inhibitory effect of novel tetrahydropyrimidine-2(1 H)-thiones on melanogenesis
The series of imidazoldine-2-thiones 2 and tetrahydropyrimidine-2-thiones 3 were discovered as inhibitor of α-MSH-induced melanin production in melanoma B16 cells. The primary bioassay showed that 1-(4-ethylbenzyl)-tetrahydropyrimidine-2(1 H)-thione 3e (>100% inhibition at 10 μM, IC 50 = 1.2 μM)...
