A series of novel 1[5"-(2"'-substituted phenyl)-4",5"'-dihydro isoxazole-3"-yl]-3-[(4 substituted phenyl)imino]1-3-dihydro-2H-indole-2-one were synthesized from different substituted chalconised indole-2,3-dione was prepared from the different chalconised Isatin. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by elemental and spectral (IR, (1)H NMR, and MS) analysis. The synthesized compounds ...

A series of benzamidine isoxazoline derivatives was evaluated for their inhibitory potency against purified human factor Xa (fXa) and in a rabbit model of arteriovenous shunt thrombosis for their antithrombotic activities, expressed as K(I) and IC(50), respectively. A highly significant correlation was found between K(I) and IC(50) (r = 0.93, P <.0001). The antithrombotic effects of SF303 [mol....

The anti-inflammatory effects of the new steroidal antedrug, 21-acetyloxy-9α-fluoro-11β-hydroxyl-3, 20-dioxo-1, 4-pregnadieno-[16α, 17α-d] isoxazoline (FP-ISO-21AC), on nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) production, were investigated together with its parent steroid prednisolone (PRED). PRED is one of the anti-inflammatory steroids but has systemic side effects which limit the use of it...

SK549 (mol. wt. 546 Da) is a synthetic, selective inhibitor of human coagulation factor Xa (fXa) (K(i) = 0.52 nM). This study compared the antithrombotic effects of SK549 and a series of benzamidine isoxazoline fXa inhibitors with aspirin, DuP 714 (a direct thrombin inhibitor), recombinant tick anticoagulant peptide, or heparin in a rabbit model of electrically induced carotid arterial thrombos...

We previously purified a new esterase from the thermoacidophilic eubacterium Bacillus acidocaldarius whose N-terminal sequence corresponds to an open reading frame (ORF3) reported to show homology with the mammalian hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL)-like group of the esterase/lipase family. To compare the biochemical properties of this thermophilic enzyme with those of the homologous mesophilic an...
