Some new oxime ethers of types 7 and 8, in which the methyleneaminoxy group, CN−O, oxiconazole 6 is an inverted atomic sequence, were synthesized tested for their antifungal activities. Among them, type compounds, such as N-ethoxy-morpholino-substituted derivatives 7l−o (Table 1), showed good properties against Candida strains tested, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values similar to those reference drug 6. A remarkable result was obtained these azoles, had shown a cidal...
Transthyretin (TTR) is one of thirty non-homologous proteins whose misfolding, dissociation, aggregation, and deposition linked to human amyloid diseases. Previous studies have identified that TTR amyloidogenesis can be inhibited through stabilization the native tetramer state by small molecule binding thyroid hormone sites TTR. We evaluated a new series beta-aminoxypropionic acids (compounds 5-21), with single aromatic moiety (aryl or fluorenyl) flexible oxime tether carboxylic acid. These...

This study was aimed at investigating the antitumor activity of novel 2-oxindole derivatives against a well-characterized human nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) line. Test compounds produced an antiproliferative in low micromolar/submicromolar range concentrations and significantly induced typical apoptotic morphology with shrinkage, nuclear condensation fragmentation, rupture cells into debris relatively percentage A549 cells. Cell cycle arrest occurred G1/S phase (1a 2), Akt...
Salicylaldoximes possess a hydrogen-bonded pseudocyclic A′ ring in place of the typical phenolic A that is characteristic most estrogen receptor (ER) ligands. Monoaryl-substituted salicylaldoximes were obtained by replacing phenol moiety (ring A) ERβ pharmacophore with pseudocycle ring, which has previously been shown to behave as bioequivalent phenols nonselective ER In this series, small substituents (CH3, CN, Cl) introduced into central phenyl scaffold. An efficient sequential...
Abstract Aldose reductase (ARL2) is the first enzyme in polyol pathway which catalyzes NADPH‐dependent reduction of glucose to sorbitol. Its involvement on diabetic complications makes this a challenge therapeutic target widely investigated limit and/or prevent them. On basis, limited series 4‐spiro‐oxazolidinone‐benzopyran derivatives ( 1–7 ) were synthesized evaluate them as potential ARL2 inhibitors. The activity was determined spectrophotometrically by monitoring oxidation NADPH...
Previous experimental and theoretical studies carried out on the mechanism of action adrenergic drugs have shown that (methyleneaminoxy)methyl moiety (C = NOCH2, MAOMM) can be considered as a "bioisostere" an aryl group (Ar). On this basis, series substituted beta-aminoxypropionic acids (AOPAs) were synthesized analogues antiinflammatory arylacetic (ArAAs), in which Ar portion is by MAOMM, with aim evaluating whether any activity could obtained from class after substitution MAOMM. The AOPAs...
