Preliminary antifungal and cytotoxic evaluation of synthetic cycloalkyl[ b ]thiophene derivatives with PLS-DA analysis A series of 2-[(arylidene)amino]-cycloalkyl[ b ]thiophene-3-carbonitriles ( 2a-x ) was synthesized by incorporation of substituted aromatic aldehydes in Gewald adducts ( 1a-c ). The title compounds were screened for their antifungal activity against Candida krusei and Criptococcus neoformans and for their antiproliferative activity against a panel of 3 human cancer cell lines (HT29, NCI H-292 ...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease frequently characterized by chronic synovitis of multiple joints. The pathogenesis of RA is complex and involves many proinflammatory cytokines as Th17 related ones. PPAR γ is a nuclear receptor activator that represses proinflammatory gene expression. Thus, this work aimed to synthetize a new thiazolidinedione (TZD) analogue based on a well-known anti-inflammatory and PPAR γ agonist activity of this ring and evaluate its anti-inflammatory activity. ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) defines a wide spectrum of liver diseases that extends from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Although the pathogenesis of NAFLD remains undefined, it is recognized that insulin resistance is present in almost all patients who develop this disease. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) act as an insulin sensitizer and have been used in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes and other insulin-resistant conditions, including NAFLD. Hence, therapy ...

Solid dispersions have been used as a strategy to improve the solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability of poor water-soluble drugs. The increase of the dissolution rate presented by (5Z)-3-(4-chloro-benzyl)-5-(4-nitro-benzylidene)-imidazolidine-2,4-dione (LPSF/FZ4) from the solid dispersions is related to the existence of intermolecular interactions of hydrogen bond type (>N-H···O<) between the amide group (>N-H) of the LPSF/FZ4 and the ether group (-O-) of the polyethyleneglycol polymer, or the ...

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are a class of drugs used for treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, the therapy with currently available TDZs (e.g. rosiglitazone) is associated with important side effects, such as edema and weight gain, suggesting that the investigation of alternative TZDs with better pharmacological properties is warranted. In this study, we investigated both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of a new chemically modified TZD, the arylidene-thiazolidinedione 5-(4-methanesulfonyl- ...

Drug candidate LPSF/FZ4 with promising schistosomicidal properties in vitro was previously synthesized. However, LPSF/FZ4 has limited aqueous solubility (<1 μg/mL), leading to ineffective dissolution and, therefore, no meaningful in vivo comparative studies could be pursued. This study was aimed to develop a proper amorphous solid dispersion (SD) to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of LPSF/FZ4 such that its biological activity could be investigated. To better understand its physiological ...

This paper proposes a new method to identify communities in generally weighted complex networks and apply it to phylogenetic analysis. In this case, weights correspond to the similarity indexes among protein sequences, which can be used for network construction so that the network structure can be analyzed to recover phylogenetically useful information from its properties. The analyses discussed here are mainly based on the modular character of protein similarity networks, explored through the Newman- ...

Abstract Although several cytokines and chemokines have been investigated as possible mediators of fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc), specific correlation between cytokines and organ involvement have not been found yet, and a cytokine profile characteristic of SSc is far to be identified.

The mRNA expression was detected by fluorescence‐based quantitative real‐time PCR (qPCR) in skin's biopsies ...

Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is an endemic illness in Latin America. Efforts have been made by several groups to develop new effective and safe anti-T. cruzi drugs. In the present work, we show that thiazolidine LPSF SF29 inhibited growth of the epimastigote and amastigote forms and caused lysis in the trypomastigote form of T. cruzi, leading to death of the protozoan. Mitochondrial dysfunction was also observed. The thiazolidine induced ultrastructural alterations ...

Background Beige adipocytes comprise a unique thermogenic cell type in the white adipose tissue (WAT) of rodents and humans, and play a critical role in energy homeostasis. In this scenario, recruitment of beige cells has been an important focus of interest for the development of novel therapeutic strategies to treat obesity. PPARγ activation by full agonists (thiazolidinediones, TZDs) drives the appearance of beige cells, a process so-called browning of WAT. However, this does not translate into ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the most common manifestation of metabolic syndrome. One of its most important features is the accumulation of triglycerides in the hepatocyte cells. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) act as insulin sensitizers and are used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes and other conditions that are resistant to insulin, such as hepatic steatosis. Controversially, TZDs are also associated with the development of cardiovascular events and liver problems. For ...

LPSF/AC04 (5Z)-[5-acridin-9-ylmethylene-3-(4-methyl-benzyl)-thiazolidine-2,4-dione] is an acridine-based derivative, part of a series of new anticancer agents synthesized for the purpose of developing more effective and less toxic anticancer drugs. However, the use of LPSF/AC04 is limited due to its low solubility in aqueous solutions.
