PURPOSE To evaluate the effects and mechanism of aminoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR), an AMP-dependent kinase (AMPK) activator, on the growth of uveal melanoma cell lines. METHODS Four different cell lines were treated with AICAR (1-4 mM). Cell growth was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) assay. Cell cycle analysis was conducted by flow cytom...

A series of substituted N-benzyl-3-chloropyrazine-2-carboxamides were prepared as positional isomers of 5-chloro and 6-chloro derivatives, prepared previously. During the aminolysis of the acyl chloride, the simultaneous substitution of chlorine with benzylamino moiety gave rise to N-benzyl-3-(benzylamino)pyrazine-2-carboxamides as side products, in some cases. Although not initially planned, t...

1 3-[2-(4-Bromphenyl)hydrazono]-5-phenyl-furan-2(3H)-one () was used for preparation of some novel pyrazole, pyridazinone, oxadiazole, triazole, thiazolidine and thioxopyrimidine derivatives. Some of the prepared products were tested for anti-avian influenza virus activity and revealed promising antiviral activity against H5N1 virus [A/Chicken/Egypt/1/20 % (H5N1)] by determination of both E...

Castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is a disease where survival is poor and treatment is challenging. Over the past 3 years, significant advances in the field have been made with US Food and Drug Administration approval of new drugs for patients with CRPC. However, despite the presence of new approved drugs such as enzalutamide, abiraterone, sipuleucel-T, cabazitaxel, and alpharadin, ther...

Recent data indicated that the CB(2) cannabinoid receptor constitutes an attractive drug target due to its potential functional role in several physiological and pathological processes. A set of 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives, characterized by the presence of some important structural requirements exhibited by other classes of cannabinoid ligands, such as an aliphatic or a...

Two simple, accurate, sensitive and reproducible methods have been developed and subsequent validated for the determination of Sildenafil citrate (SC) in presence of its impurities “1-methyl-4-nitro-3-n-propyl-5pyrozole Carboxamide (MNC), 4-amino-1-methyl-3-n-propyl-5-pyrazole Carboxamide (AMP), 4-(2-ethoxy benzoyl amino)-1-methyl-3-n-propyl-5-pyrazole Carboxamide (EMC) and 5-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-1...

In the cation of the title compound, C(8)H(10)ClN(4)O(+)·Cl(-)·H(2)O, the guanidinium group is planar (maximum deviation = 0.0001 Å) and nearly perpendicular to carboxamide group, making a dihedral angle of 87.0 (3)°. The N atoms of the guanidine fragment have a planar trigonal configuration and the N atom of the carboxamide group adopts a pyramidal configuration. In the crystal structure, inte...

Four copper(II) complexes and one copper(I) complex with pyridine-containing pyridylalkylamide ligands N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide (HL) and N-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)pyrazine2-carboxamide (HL) were synthesized and characterized. The X-ray crystal structures of [Cu2(L )2(4,4ʹ-bipy)(OTf )2] (1, OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate, 4,4ʹ-bipy = 4,4ʹ-bipyridine) and [Cu(L)(py)2]OTf·H2O (...

dacarbazine (dtic) is a synthetic chemical antitumor agent which is used to treat malignant melanoma and hodgkin’s disease. dtic is a prodrug which is converted to an active form undergoing demethylation by liver enzymes. the active form prevents the progress of disease via alkylation of dna strand. in the structure of this drug, the imidazole ring, a triazen chain and carboxamide group exist. ...

In the title compound, C(14)H(16)N(2)O(2)S, the two aromatic rings make a dihedral angle of 13.9 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by both inter- and intra-molecular N-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
