The high prevalence of skin hyperpigmentation makes it necessary to search for remedies that could hinder this process. Among such substances, tyrosinase inhibitors can be distinguished, which may be pyrimidine derivatives. This study aimed to investigate new compounds with anti-tyrosinase activity in 2-substituted tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4(3H)-one by an in vitro analysis and investigating their molecular docking. A molecular docking was performed using AutoDock 4.0 with the 3-dimensional structure of tyrosinase of the fungus Agaricus bisporus from the Protein Data Bank (PDB; rcsb.org) with identification number 2Y9X. A synthesis of 2-substituted tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4(3H)-one was carried out during the heterocyclization reaction of azomethine derivatives of 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carboxamide in glacial acetic acid with the addition of dimethyl sulfoxide. Tyrosinase activity was determined in vitro by the spectrophotometric method. Molecular docking data suggest the feasibility of synthesizing 2-substituted tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4(3H)-one as possible tyrosinase inhibitors. Of particular interest are compounds with hydroxy groups in the radical. Next, pharmacological screening showed that the leading compound is 4g. It is likely that metal-ligand interactions are the main interactions in the active site of tyrosinase because kojic acid, hydroquinone, and lactic acid (reference compounds), as well as compounds with only hydroxy groups in phenyl substituents (4b, 4c, and 4g), have the greatest anti-tyrosinase activity. As a result of molecular docking studies, the feasibility of synthesizing 2-substituted tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4(3H)-one as potential tyrosinase inhibitors was justified. 2-Substituted tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4(3H)-one was obtained using new synthesis conditions. The leading compound is 4g containing a fragment of 2,4-dihydroxybenzene.
