[ 1 ] - Synthesis and biological evaluation of N-(5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzamide derivatives as lipoxygenase inhibitor with potential anticancer activity

In the recent years, the role of LOX enzymes in the cause of neoplastic diseases such as colorectal, skin, pancreatic and renal cancers has been confirmed. A new series of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives bearing 2-pyridyl moiety was synthesized and their cytotoxicity was assessed using MTT protocol. Enzyme inhibitory activity of prepared compounds was also tested against 15-lipoxygenase-1 as nove...

[ 2 ] - Synthesis and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory evaluation of 4-(1,3-Dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)-N-phenylbenzamide derivatives as potential anti-alzheimer agents

Patients with Alzheimer's disease have cognitive deficits, impaired long-term potentiation and learning and memory. A progressive reduction in cholinergic neurons in some areas of the brain such as cortex and hippocampus is related to the deficits in memory and cognitive function in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In the current project a new series of phthalimide derivatives were synthesized. Phthal...

[ 3 ] - N-(5-Mercapto-1,3,4-Thiadiazol-2-yl)-2-Phenylacetamide Derivatives: Synthesis and In-vitro Cytotoxicity Evaluation as Potential Anticancer Agents

A new series of N-(5-Mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2-phenylacetamide derivatives (3a-3j) were synthesized via an amidation reaction using EDC and HOBt in acetonitrile solvent at room temperature condition. Chemical structures were characterized by 1H NMR, IR and MS spectroscopic methods and related melting points were also determined. The anticancer activity was evaluated using MTT procedure ...
