Abstract
Background: Unsymmetrical thioureas 1-20 were synthesized and then characterized by various spectroscopy techniques such as UV, IR, fast atom bombardment (FAB)-MS, high-resolutionFAB-MS, 1H-NMRand 13C-NMR. Methods: Synthetic compounds 1-20 were tested for their ability for antioxidant, lipoxygenaseand xanthine oxidase activities. Results: Compounds 1, 2, 9, 12 and 15 exhibited strong antioxidant potential, whereascompounds 1-3, 9, 12, 15 and 19 showed good to moderate lipoxygenase activity. Ten compounds demonstrated moderate xanthine oxidase inhibition. Conclusion: Compound 15 displayed the highest potency among the series, exhibiting good antioxidant, lipoxygenase and xanthine oxidase activities. Theoretical calculations using density functional theory and molecular docking studies supported the experimental findings, indicating the potential of the synthesized compounds as potent antioxidants, lipoxygenases and xanthine oxidase agents.
