A series of substituted benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazide compounds (1-7) were synthesized as xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors, and the interactions between substituted benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazide compounds (1-7) and XO were studied by ultraviolet spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular docking. It was found that the hydrogen bond and hydrophobicity were the main interactions between substituted benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazide compounds and XO, and introducing -OH at the para position of the benzene ring and a Ph- or Me-group at the amino terminal of compound 4 increased the modifier's inhibitory activity. The results suggest that the newly introduced benzene ring interacted with the hydrophobic cavity of XO by means of the pi-pi stacking force between the newly introduced benzene ring and the aromatic amino acid residues, such as the Phe residue, which greatly increased the modifier's inhibitory activity. We conclude that introducing the Ph-group at the amino terminal of compound 4 and the -OH group at the para position of the benzene ring was a good route to obtain novel XO inhibitors. Fluorescence spectroscopy assisted by 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid fluorescence probing and molecular docking were helpful for achieving a preliminary and relatively clear understanding of the interactions between target compounds and XO, which deserve further study.
