| Abstract: | This study conducted to design some new skin lightening agents devoid of side effects. We investigated their depigmentation activity using computational and molecular docking techniques. The compounds presented were structurally modified derivatives of niacinamide. The study results revealed that derivatives with amino substituents demonstrate greater effectiveness compared to niacinamide. In addition, the best position of the amine and amide groups on the ring for enhancing the decolorizing effects of the drug was determined. Among the compounds studied, compounds 5, 8, and 11, with the Cosθ of 0.998, 0.989, and 0.996, respectively, showed the best inhibitory activity compared to niacinamide with Cosθ of 0.396. Regarding the single-electron transfer-proton transfer mechanism, compounds 5, 8, and 11 with PDE values of 33.897, 8.411, and 33.055 kcal/mol demonstrated the highest potential for radical reactions and, consequently, superior antioxidant properties. Also, the best docking results belonged to compounds 5, 8, and 11, with binding energies of −6.9 to −6.3 kcal/mol compared to niacinamide (−5.6 kcal/mol). The designed molecules are simple, small in size, and low in molecular weight. At the same time, they have both antioxidant properties and inhibit tyrosinase. Therefore, these compounds can be a good option for melanin depigmentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
