Fluorescent schweinfurthin B and F analogs with anti-proliferative activity

Investigation of the anti-inflammatory and anti- proliferative effects of resveratrol analogs

Anti-proliferative Activity of T-bet

T-bet is a critical transcription factor that regulates differentiation of Th1 cells from CD4(+) precursor cells. Since T-bet directly binds to the promoter of the IFN-γ gene and activates its transcription, T-bet deficiency impairs IFN-γ production in Th1 cells. Interestingly, T-bet-deficient Th cells also display substantially augmented the production of IL-2, a T cell growth factor. Exogenou...

Anti-BK virus activity of nucleoside analogs.

Polyomavirus BK is an important pathogen in transplant recipients with no effective therapy. This study demonstrates that alkoxyalkyl esters of (S)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine and fatty acid derivatives of 9-[2-(phosphonomethyoxy)ethyl]adenine (P393 and P405) are potent and selective inhibitors of BK virus replication in vitro, with a 50% effective concentration in the microm...

Synthesis and Anti-Denaturation Activity of Some Substituted Quinazolinone Analogs

In recent years there is a tremendous increase of inflammatory cases, leading to the design and development of newer anti-inflammatory agents. The reaction of 2-substituted phenyl-3-chloroacetamido quinazolin-4(3H)-ones with various 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol and 5-(pyridine-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2thiol gave N-(4-Oxo-2-substituted phenylquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)-2-[(5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-...

Synthesis, Characterization, and Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Newer Quinazolinone Analogs

A series of 3-[2'-(Substitutedbenzylideneamino)phenyl]-2-methyl-6-substituted quinazolin-4-ones (5-10), 3-[2'-(3(″)-chloro-2(″)-oxo-4(″)-substitutedphenylazetidin-1(″)-yl)phenyl]-2-methyl-6-substitutedquinazolin-4-ones (11-16), and 3-[2'-(2(″)-substitutedphenyl-4(″)-oxo-1(″),3(″)-thiazolidin-3(″)-yl)phentl]-2-methyl-6-substitutedquinazolin-4-ones (17-22) have been synthesized in the present stu...
