A series of novel Mannich bases of chlorokojic acid (2-chloromethyl-5-hydroxy-4H-pyran-4-one) were synthesized and their biological activities were investigated. Anticonvulsant activity results according to phase-I tests of Antiepileptic Drug Development (ADD) Program revealed that compound 13 was the most effective one at 4 h against subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ)-induced seizure test. Antimicrobial activities were evaluated in vitro against bacteria and fungi by using broth microdilution method. The antitubercular activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. avium were discussed with Resazurin microplate assay (REMA). The antimicrobial activity results indicated that compounds 1 and 12 (MIC: 8-16 µg/mL) showed higher activity against Gram negative bacteria while compound 12 had MIC: 4-16 µg/mL against Gram positive bacteria. Compound 1 was the most active one with MIC values of 8-32 µg/mL against fungi. Mannich bases also exhibit significant antitubercular activity in a MIC range of 4 to 32 µg/mL, especially compound 18 against M. avium.

The current environmental consciousness of the world's population encourages researchers to work on new materials that are environmentally benign and able to display the appropriate features for the needed application. To develop high-performing, inexpensive eco-materials, scientists have frequently turned to nature, attempting to mimic its processes' excellent performance at a reasonable price. In this regard, we decided to focus on alginic acid (AA), a polysaccharide widely found in brown algae, and kojic acid (KA), a chelating agent fungi produces.

Tyrosinase inhibitors have become increasingly important as whitening agents and for the treatment of pigmentary disorders. In this study, the synthesis of kojic acid derivatives having 2-substituted-3-hydroxy-6-hyroxymethyl/chloromethyl/methyl/morpholinomethylpiperidinyl- methyl/pyrrolidinylmethyl-4H-pyran-4-one structure (compounds 1-30) with inhibitory effects on tyrosinase enzyme were described. One-pot Mannich reaction was carried out by using kojic acid/chlorokojic acid/allomaltol and substituted benzylpiperazine derivatives in presence of formaline.

Pyran-4-one (maltol, kojic acid and chlorokojic acid 1) esters of adamantan-1-ylacetic acid were prepared through efficient synthetic routes in good yields and evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity on four cancer cell lines: K562 (chronic myelogenous leukemia), HeLa (cervical cancer), Caco-2 (colorectal adenocarcinoma) and NCI-H358 (bronchioalveolar carcinoma). The results indicate that the presence and the position of the adamantyl acyl group or chlorine atom are the necessary requirement for antitumor activity of pyranone systems. Derivatives of kojic acid with either free (compounds 1 and 8) or acylated 5-OH group (compounds 2 and 9) have shown good-to-moderate activity (IC values ranging from 13.

Background: Malignant melanoma is an agressive tumour related to the overproduction of melanin, which provides colors of skin, eyes and hair. In addition contributing to the risk of malignant melanoma, abnormal production of melanin has many drawbacks, including hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory pigmentation, melasma and skin aging. Kojic acid is currently employed in order to lighten skin pigmentation and provide depigmentation.

Here, a nontoxic antibacterial material based on Chitosan Oligosaccharide-N-Chlorokojic acid Mannich base (COS-N-MB) that was synthesized by using the selective partial alkylation reaction displaying excellent activity against bacterial infection. The proposed mechanism of the action of COS-N-MB is that this antibacterial material with positive charge and synergistic antibacterial effects can promote it's adsorption to bacterial cell wall through electrostatic interaction and chelating metal cations. It changed the permeability of the membrane, caused cellular leakage, and destroyed the membrane integrity, leading to complete membrane disruption and eventually death of the bacteria.
