Abstract

2(3H)-Benzoxazolone derivatives are preferential structural blocks in pharmacological probe designing with the possibility of modifications at various positions on the core structure. Benzoxazolones showed various biological activities such as analgesics, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer. In the present work, we have prepared new Mannich bases of 2(3H)-benzoxazolone derivatives and evaluated their cytotoxicities and proapoptotic properties in MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. The structures of these compounds were characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis, 1H and 13C NMR. Cytotoxicities of all the target compounds were investigated by MTT assay. Apoptotic properties of compounds were evaluated by immunocytochemistry using antibodies against caspase-3, cytochrome-c, FasL, and also TUNEL assay. These two novel compounds, 1 and 2, both have the same piperazine substituent on the nitrogen atom of benzoxazolone and the main difference in the structures of these compounds is the presence of Cl substituent at the 5- position of the benzoxazolone ring. MTT results showed that compounds 1 and 2 were effective in terms of reduction of cell viability at 100μM and 50μM concentration for 48h, respectively. As a result of immunohistochemical ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
