Substituted 3-(5-Imidazo[2,1-b]thiazolylmethylene)-2-indolinones and Analogues: Synthesis, Cytotoxic Activity, and Study of the Mechanism of Action
摘要:
The synthesis of substituted 3-(5-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazolylmethylene)-2-indolinones and analogues is reported. Their cytotoxic activity was evaluated according to protocols available at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Bethesda, MD. The action of selected compounds was examined for potential inhibition of tubulin assembly in comparison with the potent colchicine site agent combretastatin A-4. The most potent compounds also strongly and selectively inhibited the phosphorylation of the oncoprotein kinase Akt in cancer cells. The effect of the most interesting compounds was examined on the growth of HT-29 colon cancer cells. These compounds caused the cells to arrest in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, as would be expected for inhibitors of tubulin assembly.
Synthesis and cardiotonic activity of imidazo[2,l-b]thiazoles bearing a lactam ring
摘要:
This paper describes the synthesis of 6-substituted imidazo[2,1-b] thiazoles with a lactam ring connected, by means of a methine group, to the 5-position. The pharmacological results show that interesting cardiotonic activity is obtained when the lactam ring is pseudothiohydantoin (8) or barbituric acid (9). Even the substituent at position 6 plays an important role in the pharmacological behavior of these derivatives. The following activity rank order was observed: phenyl > methyl > chlorine.
