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)...

Zusammenfassung: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) and 1-(4- tert-butylbenzyl)-tetrahydropyrimidine-2(1 H)-thione 3f (>100% inhibition at 10 μM, IC 50 = 0.76 μM) exhibited potent inhibitory effect against α-MSH-induced melanin production. Compounds 3 inhibit the biosynthesis of tyrosinase without affecting its catalytic activity in melanogenesis.
