Oxidative burst inhibitory and cytotoxic amides and lignans from the stem bark of Fagara heitzii (Rutaceae)
2009
Two amides, heitziamide A and heitziamide B and two phenylethanoids, heitziethanoid A and heitziethanoid B together with thirteen known compounds were isolated from F. heitzii (Letouzey). The structures of all compounds were established by spectroscopic analysis. Nine compounds were evaluated for oxidative burst inhibitory activity in a chemoluminescence assay and for cytotoxicity against PC-3 prostate cancer cells. All compounds exhibited a clear suppressive effect on phagocytosis response upon activation with serum opsonized zymosan at the range of IC50 = 2.0-6.5 mu M, but no cytotoxic effect was observed (IC50 > 100 mu M).

The nutrigenetic influence of the interaction between dietary vitamin E and TXN and COMT gene polymorphisms on waist circumference: a case control st…
2015
Background Abdominal obesity (AO) is a common modifiable risk factor for certain non-communicable diseases associated with enhanced oxidative stress (OS). The objective of this work was to investigate whether the interaction between antioxidant vitamin intake and OS-related polymorphisms modulates gene-associated anthropometry in a Spanish population. Methods A total of 246 subjects with AO, and 492 age and gender matched non-AO subjects were included in the study. Anthropometric, biochemical, and OS parameters, and antioxidant dietary intake data were assessed using validated procedures. DNA from white blood cells was isolated and the genotype of seven polymorphisms from genes involved in …
Perspectives for the Treatment of Brucellosis in the 21st Century: The Ioannina Recommendations
2007
Policy Forum. Competing interests: ER has received research grants from Daiichi, Bayer, and Theravance and has served as a consultant to Pfizer, Theravance, Bayer, Wyeth, Rosetta, and BiondVax. Summary Points Brucellosis remains the commonest anthropozoonosis worldwide, and its treatment remains complex, requiring protracted administration of more than one antibiotic. In November 2006, a consensus meeting aimed at reaching a common specialist statement on the treatment of brucellosis was held in Ioannina, Greece under the auspices of the International Society of Chemotherapy and the Institute of Continuing Medical Education of Ioannina. The author panel suggests that the optimal treatment o…
Pyrrolo[2,1-d][1,2,3,5]tetrazinones deaza analogues of temozolomide with potent antitumor activity
2000
The title compounds, that hold the deaza skeleton of temozolomide, exhibited potent in vitro antiproliferative activity. An evaluation of such a biological activity indicates that the mode of action of these compounds differs from that of temozolomide and is also mechanistically unrelated to that of any known antitumor drug.
11H‑Pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[3,2‑c]cinnoline and Pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[1,2‑c][1,2,3]benzotriazine: Two New Ring Systems with Antitumor Activity
2014
Derivatives of new ring systems 11H-pyrido[3',2':4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-c]cinnoline and pyrido[3',2':4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-c][1,2,3]benzotriazine have been prepared from the key intermediates 2-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)anilines in excellent yields (94-99%) and screened by the National Cancer Institute (Bethesda, MD) on about 60 human tumor cell lines derived from nine cancer cell types. The tested compounds exhibited antiproliferative activity against all the human cell lines, showing comparable MG_MID (mean graph midpoint) values in the range of 0.74-1.15 μM. A particular efficacy was observed against the leukemia subpanel (GI50 = 0.73-0.0090 μM). Flow cytometric analysis of the cell cycle demons…
Benzodiazines: recent synthetic advances.
2017
Benzodiazines (diazonaphthalenes with both nitrogens in the same ring) – cinnolines (1,2-benzodiazine), quinazolines (1,3-benzodiazine), phthalazines (2,3-benzodiazine) and quinoxalines (1,4-benzodiazine) – are important class of compounds with broad biological properties and wide application in pharmaceutical as well as agrochemical arenas. These diazaheterocycles are present in a wide variety of bioactive natural products as well as synthetic molecules that are good drug candidates constituting key structural units responsible for their pronounced therapeutic activities. Their rapidly growing uses and applications in medicinal and agrochemical arenas prompt the researchers for further stu…
Synthesis, characterisation and crystal structures of Schiff bases from the reaction of 4,6-O-ethylidene-β-D-glucopyranosylamine with substituted sal…
2001
Multiple chemical modifications were carried out on D-glucose to result in the corresponding Schiff bases. Such modifications performed on D-glucose not only helped in increasing the solubility of the products in nonaqueous solvents, but also restricted the anomerisation of the saccharide moiety in solution. NMR study of the products revealed the presence of the β-anomeric form of the saccharide moiety in Me2SO solution. All the compounds were characterised by analytical and spectral methods. The literature is devoid of any crystal structures of saccharide–Schiff base combinations of the type reported in this paper. The crystal structures of these molecules exhibited a tridentate, ONO bindi…
