4-thiazolidinone-based derivatives rosiglitazone and pioglitazone affect the expression of antioxidant enzymes in different human cell lines

Synthesis of new 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives containing 4-thiazolidinone moiety containing 4-thiazolidinone moiety

A series of novel 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives containing 4-thiazolidinone framework (4a-f) were synthesized through a four-step reaction starting from the reduction of nitro derivatives of 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes. The resulting aminoxanthenes converted to thiourea derivatives via their reaction with methyl isothiocyanate. The final products were synthesized through the re...

cytotoxic and apoptogenic properties of 2-phenylthiazole-4-carboxamide derivatives in human carcinoma cell lines

apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is an essential physiological process that plays a critical role in development and tissue homeostasis. caspases, a family of cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases, play a critical role in the initiation and execution of apoptosis. in this study, cytotoxicity and apoptogenic effect of 2-phenyl 4-carboxamide derivatives were evaluated in sknmc (huma...

The Expression of Heme Oxygenase-1 in Human-Derived Cancer Cell Lines

Background: Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a cytoprotective and antiapoptotic enzyme, which has been involved in maintaining cellular homeostasis, and plays an important protective role by modulating oxidative injury. Up-regulation of (HO-1) has contributed to tumorogenicity of some cancers. In this study we investigated the expression pattern of the HO-1, in five different human-derived cancer cel...

Synthesis of Some 4-Thiazolidinone Derivatives as Antitubercular Agents

Substituted Schiff's bases 2a-o prepared by the treatment of 2-amino-4-(?-methoxyiminocarbomethoxymethyl)-thiazole 1 with different aromatic aldehydes, on cyclocondensation with mercaptoaceticacid and mercaptopropionicacid in dry benzene furnished desired thiazolidinones of type 3a-o and 4a-j, respectively. The structure of the compounds have been assigned on the basis of elemental analyses and...
