The S-containing heterocyclic compounds benzothiopyrans or thiochromones stand out as having promising biological activities due to their structural relationship with chromones (benzopyrans), which are widely known as privileged scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. In this work, we report the synthesis of 35 thiochromone derivatives and the in vitro antileishmanial and cytotoxic activities. Compounds were tested against intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania panamensis and cytotoxic activity against human monocytes (U-937 ATCC CRL-1593.2). Compounds bearing a vinyl sulfone moiety, 4h, 4i, 4j, 4k, 4l and 4m, displayed the highest antileishmanial activity, with EC50 values lower than 10 μM and an index of selectivity over 100 for compounds 4j and 4l. When the double bond or the sulfone moiety was removed, the activity decreased. Our results show that thiochromones bearing a vinyl sulfone moiety are endowed with high antileishmanial activity and low cytotoxicity.

Cathepsin L is a cysteine protease that is upregulated in a variety of malignant tumors and plays a significant role in cancer cell invasion and migration. It is an attractive target for the development of small-molecule inhibitors, which may prove beneficial as treatment agents to limit or arrest cancer metastasis. We have previously identified a structurally diverse series of thiosemicarbazone-based inhibitors that incorporate the benzophenone and thiochromanone molecular scaffolds. Herein we report an important extension of this work designed to explore fused aryl-alkyl ring molecular systems that feature nitrogen atom incorporation (dihydroquinoline-based) and carbon atom exclusivity (tetrahydronaphthalene-based). In addition, analogues that contain oxygen (chromanone-based), sulfur (thiochroman-based), sulfoxide, and sulfone functionalization have been prepared in order to further investigate the structure-activity relationship aspects associated with these compounds and their ability to inhibit cathepsins L and B. From this small-library of 30 compounds, five were found to be strongly inhibitory (IC50 50 = 164 nM. All of the compounds evaluated were inactive (IC50 >10,000 nM) as inhibitors of cathepsin B, thus establishing a high degree (>20-fold) of selectivity (cathepsin L vs. cathepsin B) for the most active cathepsin L inhibitors in this series.

A series of 36 thiosemicarbazone analogues containing the thiochromanone molecular scaffold functionalized primarily at the C-6 position were prepared by chemical synthesis and evaluated as inhibitors of cathepsins L and B. The most promising inhibitors f
