Syntheses, biological evaluation and QSAR study on antitumor activity of 1,5-N,N′-disubstituted-2-(substituted benzenesulphonyl) glutamamides
摘要:
We have reported [unpublished data] the synthesis and QSAR of 5-substituted-2-(substituted benzenesulphonyl) glutamines which have shown the importance of steric factor on the aliphatic chain. N-Phthalyl isoglutamine, having the substitution at position I of the glutamic acid moiety, is the metabolite of recently approved thalidomide For different types of tumors by US FDA, Based on these, 36 now 1,5-N,N'-disubstituted-2-(substituted benzenesulphonyl) glutamamides were synthesized, as tools for further elucidation of the structural requirements for antitumor activity. All the synthesized compounds were tested for antitumor activity against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice using tumor weight as inhibitory parameter. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies of these analogues revealed that the electron donating groups on the phenyl ring are found to be mandatory for the activity which was also proved by the negative coefficient of indicator parameter I-3, for NO2 group on the phenyl ring. Molecular volume (MV) and steric factor at R-5 position also plays a role in ligand -receptor interactions. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The N-tosyl diazomethyl ketoneanalogues synthesized from glycine, L-leucine, and L-proline were the most active of this series in the Ehrlich ascites screen, along with 5-keto-1-tosyl-2-(diazoacetyl)pyrrolidine and the diazomethyl ketoneanalogues prepared from 6-(N-tosylamino)caproic acid. In the P-388 lymphocytic leukemia screen, the N-tosyl chloromethyl ketone prepared from glycine and the compound

Previous research has shown that social support can have a beneficial impact on coping processes and psychological adjustment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The association of individual coping styles and perceived responses from others to one's pain episodes with patients' distress and disease status over time was investigated. The sample consisted of 42 middle-aged patients with RA who were predominantly White (98%), female (64%), and married (88%). Participants completed surveys and their rheumatologist completed clinical assessments of patient disease status at 2 time points over a 9-month period Although punishing responses from others (e.g, getting irritated or angry when the patient is in pain) were perceived as relatively infrequent, they were associated with a patient coping style of focusing on and venting of negative emotion as well as elevated negative affect (NA). Findings also indicated that those who perceived punishing responses from close others and coped by venting negative emotions reported increased NA over time and were rated by their rheumatologist as having more severe RA disease status over time. Implications for psychosocial intervention and directions for future research are discussed.
