Abstract:
A series of 4-methyl-5-(3-phenylacryloyl)thiazoles based on chalcones were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their influenza neuraminidase (NA) inhibitory activity in vitro. A preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis showed that thiazoles bearing amide had greater potency. It also showed that mono-hydroxyl group at 4-position on phenyl ring was more effective than other electron-releasing groups or electron-withdraw groups. Compounds A2 and A26 were more potent against NA with IC50 values of 8.2 ± 0.5 μg/mL and 6.2 ± 1.4 μg/mL, respectively. Molecular docking study demonstrated that thiazoles skeleton was benefit for the NA inhibitory activity.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
