abstract = "In this study, seven new 4-oxothiazolidine derivatives were synthesized and assayed, along 7 known derivatives, for inhibitory properties against deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) and xanthine oxidase (XO) in vitro. Among tested compounds, (5Z)-Ethyl-2-(2-(cyanomethylene)-4-oxothiazolidin-5-yliden)acetate (6) exhibited inhibitory activity against both enzymes (DNase I IC50 = 67.94 ± 5.99 μM; XO IC50 = 98.98 ± 13.47 μM), therefore being the first reported dual inhibitor of DNase I and XO. Observed DNase I inhibition qualifies compound 6 as the most potent small organic DNase I inhibitor reported so far. Derivatives of 2-alkyliden-4-oxothiazolidinone (1) inhibited DNase I below 200 μM, while the other tested 4-oxothiazolidine derivatives remained inactive against both enzymes. The molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations into the binding sites of DNase I and XO enzyme allowed us to clarify the binding modes of this 4-oxothiazolidine derivative, which might aid future development of dual DNase I and XO.",
