To develop novel antimycobacterial agents, a new series of thiazolidinone-azole hybrids 4a-b, 5a-b and 6-13 were designed and synthesized. Thiazolidin-4-ones (4a-b and 5a-b) were obtained by the reaction of Schiff bases and hydrazones (2a-b and 3a-b) with mercaptoacetic acid. 5-Benzylidene derivatives (6-13) were gained by treatment of 5a-b with appropriate benzaldehydes according to Knoevenage...

Understanding and amelioration of the effects solar radiation exposure are critical in preventing occurrence skin cancer. Towards this end, many studies have been conducted 2D cell culture models under simplified unrealistic conditions. 3D better capture complexity vivo physiology, although extracellular matrix not well studied. Monitoring instantaneous resultant cellular responses to exposure,...

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is the active metabolite of mycophenolate mofetil. This study designed to investigate the mechanism of cytotoxicity of MPA on the genetically engineered PC12 Tet Off (PTO) neuronal cells with p53 gene. Alamar Blue (AB) reduction showed concentration-dependent cytotoxicity of MPA on PTO cells with IC50 value of 32.32 ± 4.61 mM. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation...

In the present research, we tend to ready a series of novel pyrimidine-linked isoxazole derivatives (11-20). The molecular structure and elemental composition these compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic studies analysis. MABA (Microplate alamar Blue Assay) assay was employed for assessing antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Among ten synthesized compound...

A microdilution assay using Alamar Introduction Blue, a colorimetric indicator, was compared with the NCCLS macrodilution broth assay for voriVoriconazole is a new triazole agent that appears to have a broader spectrum of antifungal activity conazole, fluconazole, and itraconazole against Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and Candida krusei. than the parent compound, fluconazole [1–6]. Prior ...

World Health Organization considers Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the most dangerous chronic transmittable disease. Development of resistance by a common problem world Wide. To combat these problems there could be solution that we should search newer molecules with different mechanism action to fight against such diseases. A series some novel benzothiazole derivatives (I-X) have been synthesize...

A colorimetric, microplate-based Alamar Blue assay (MABA) method was used to determine the MICs of isoniazid (INH), rifampin, streptomycin (SM), and ethambutol (EMB) for 34 Peruvian Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates (including both pansensitive and multidrug-resistant strains) and the H37Rv strain by using bacterial suspensions prepared directly from solid media. Results for all isolates were...

Three dimensional collagen gels are evaluated as matrices for the study of live cells by Raman spectroscopy. The study is conducted on a human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) and a spontaneously immortalized human epithelial keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell line. It is demonstrated, using the Alamar Blue assay, that both cell models exhibit enhanced viability in collagen matrices compared to quartz substra...
