2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), a heterocyclic amine with strong carcinogenic and mutagenic potential, is created abundantly in the overcooking of meat and fish. Carcinogenic toxicants are often implicated in immunosuppression, where cancer cells are not easily eliminated by

The MAP kinase p38 plays a key role in the biosynthesis of the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and 1L-1beta. Accordingly, new pyrrolo[2, 3-]pyridine derivatives 5a-d were prepared from 2-amino-3-cyanopyrroles 3a-d via the intermediate propenylaminopyrroles 4a-d. Then

We synthesized bicyclic thiophenes and 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine derivatives, and evaluated for their ability to inhibit LPS-stimulated production of TNF-alpha. Several compounds revealed excellent in vivo activity. Furthermore, an effective compound was found in adjuvant-induced

Novel 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their abilities to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated production of TNF-alpha in rat whole blood. Several of these compounds exhibited potent inhibitory activity.

A series of (1-adamantyl)aminopyrimidine and -pyridine derivatives was prepared by adamantyl cation attack on amino heterocycles. The adamantylated compounds, particularly 2-(1-adamantyl)amino-6-methylpyridine, were found to be potent TNF-alpha inducers in murine melanoma cells transduced with gene

BACKGROUND Drugs designed to restore programmed cell death might be effective against many cancer. It was aimed to study the possible apoptotic-necrotic effects of the pyridinehalide complexes such as dichlorodipyridinepalla-dium(ll) (PdCl2L1(2)), dichlorodipyridinenickel(ll) (NiCl2L1(2)),

Nicotinamide (NIC) is known to increase the synthesis of pyridine nucleotides and also to inhibit the hydrolysis of them to ADP-ribose, which in turn is involved in Ca2+ release from mitochondria via the ADP ribosylation of crucial mitochondrial proteins. In this work, we test the potential ability

Pyridine N-oxide derivatives represent a new class of anti-HIV compounds for which some members exclusively inhibit HIV-1 RT, whereas other members act, additionally or alternatively, at a post-integrational event in the replicative cycle of HIV. A prototype pyridine N-oxide derivative, JPL-32,

The synthesis of several adamantylthio heterocycles and S-adamantylated thiocresols is reported. The attack of the adamantyl cation formed from 1-adamantan-1-ol in refluxing trifluoroacetic acid provides the corresponding adamantylsulfanyl compounds. The use of the adamantyl cation in the Ritter

In the current study the ability of silver pyridine-2-sulfonate complex to exert multiple biological activities is compared with the pharmacological action of silver sulfadiazine (AgSD). Polymeric form of {[Ag(py-2-SO3)]}n (AgPS) was synthesized and characterized by analytical techniques (IR, CHN,

The effects of a single exposure to 3-trifluoromethyl pyridine (3FMP), were investigated in two studies. In the first study, rats were exposed nose only to 0, 50 or 800 ppm 3FMP for periods of 15 min to 4 h. Half were sacrificed on day 3 and the remainder on day 10. In the second study, rats were

In our previous publication, it was reported that fac-Ir(atpy)3 3 (atpy = 2-(5'-amino-4'-tolyl)pyridine), which contains three amino groups at the 5'-position of the atpy ligands, exhibits a pH-dependent change in the color of the emitted radiation. Aqueous solution of 3 shows a weak red emission

This work highlights a systematic and comparative study of the structure-dependent influence of a series of biologically active Cu(II) Schiff base complexes (CSCs) on their in vitro cytotoxicity, apoptosis and binding with polymeric DNA-bases in ground and photo-excited states. The
