Single-step synthesis of novel 4-hydrazinothiazole derivatives 6a–e was achieved under mild conditions using the sequential four-components method involving isothiocyanate, aminoguanidine, carbonyl adduct, and α-haloketone derivatives. Deprotection of these hydrazinothiazoles was influenced by acylation, providing a novel group of diacylated molecular structures with a broader scope for the design of thiazolyl-containing drugs 7a and 7b . FTIR, 1H/13C NMR, LC–MS spectroscopy, and CHN elemental analyses were used to study the compound chemical structures. Using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay on human periodontal ligament fibroblast (HPDLF) cells, the 4-hydrazinothiazole derivatives were screened for cytotoxicity in an in vitro cytotoxicity investigation. The 4-hydrazinothiazole compound 6b bearing an isopropylidene-hydrazino group demonstrated strongly potent cytotoxicity against CAKI1 (IC50 = 1.65 ± 0.24 μM) and A498 (IC50 of 0.85 ± 0.24 μM). Furthermore, the chloroacetyl-containing thiazole compound 7a displayed efficient inhibition of growth against the test cell lines CAKI1 and A498 at low micromolar concentrations, IC50 0.78 and 0.74 μM, respectively. 相似文献

Site-directed mutagenesis of a thermostable alkaline phytase from Bacillus sp. MD2 was performed with an aim to increase its specific activity and activity and stability in an acidic environment. The mutation sites are distributed on the catalytic surface of the enzyme (P257R, E180N, E229V and S283R) and in the active site (K77R, K179R and E227S). Selection of the residues was based on the idea that acid active phytases are more positively charged around their catalytic surfaces. Thus, a decrease in the content of negatively charged residues or an increase in the positive charges in the catalytic region of an alkaline phytase was assumed to influence the enzyme activity and stability at low pH. Moreover, widening of the substrate-binding pocket is expected to improve the hydrolysis of substrates that are not efficiently hydrolysed by wild type alkaline phytase. Analysis of the phytase variants revealed that E229V and S283R mutants increased the specific activity by about 19% and 13%, respectively. Mutation of the active site residues K77R and K179R led to severe reduction in the specific activity of the enzyme. Analysis of the phytase mutant-phytate complexes revealed increase in hydrogen bonding between the enzyme and the substrate, which might retard the release of the product, resulting in decreased activity. On the other hand, the double mutant (K77R-K179R) phytase showed higher stability at low pH (pH 2.6-3.0). The E227S variant was optimally active at pH 5.5 (in contrast to the wild type enzyme that had an optimum pH of 6) and it exhibited higher stability in acidic condition. This mutant phytase, displayed over 80% of its initial activity after 3 h incubation at pH 2.6 while the wild type phytase retained only about 40% of its original activity. Moreover, the relative activity of this mutant phytase on calcium phytate, sodium pyrophosphate and p-nitro phenyl phosphate was higher than that of the wild type phytase. 相似文献

BackgroundStudies revealed that insulin resistance is associated with fibrosis progression and has negative impact on sustained virological response after standard antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC).AimTo assess the role of IR on progression of liver fibrosis and early virological response (EVR) rates in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection.Patients and methodsThe study population comprised 79 subjects who underwent combination therapy for CHC. Laboratory investigations in the form of glucose, insulin, bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), cholesterol and triglycerides and liver biopsy were done for all patients. Insulin resistance was calculated using the homeostasis model of IR (HOMA-IR).ResultsIR was increased (>2 IU) in 31 (40.7%) of patients. Early virological response was achieved among 37 patients (48.7%). No difference in EVR, viral load or grade of liver fibrosis between patients with and without IR. A significant positive correlation was found between IR and liver steatosis.ConclusionInsulin resistance is a common finding in CHC, it is associated with increase liver steatosis. However it has no impact on EVR to combined interferon ribavirin therapy, viral load or necroinflammation. 相似文献

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multicellular disease characterized by chronic inflammation. Peripheral blood-mononuclear cells (PBMCs), as a critical component of immune system, actively cross-talk with pathophysiological conditions induced by endothelial cell injury, reflecting in perturbed PBMC expression. STAT1 is believed to be relevant to CAD pathogenesis through regulating key inflammatory processes and modulating STAT1 expression play key roles in fine-tuning CAD-related inflammatory processes. This study evaluated PBMC expressions of STAT1, and its regulators (miR-150 and miR-223) in a cohort including 72 patients with CAD with significant ( ≥ 50%) stenosis, 30 patients with insignificant ( < 50%) coronary stenosis (ICAD), and 74 healthy controls, and assessed potential of PBMC expressions to discriminate between patients and controls. We designed quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assays and identified stable reference genes for normalizing PBMC quantities of miR-150, miR-223, and STAT1 applying geNorm algorithm to six small RNAs and five mRNAs. There was no significant difference between CAD and ICAD patients regarding STAT1 expression. However, both groups of patients had higher levels of STAT1 than healthy controls. miR-150 and miR-223 were differently expressed across three groups of subjects and were downregulated in patients compared with healthy controls, with the lowest expression levels being observed in patients with ICAD. ROC curves suggested that PBMC expressions may separate between different groups of study subjects. PBMC expressions also discriminated different clinical manifestations of CAD from ICADs or healthy controls. In conclusion, the present study reported PBMC dysregulations of STAT1, miR-150, and miR-223, in patients with significant or insignificant coronary stenosis and suggested that these changes may have diagnostic implications. 相似文献

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition defined by significant lipid accumulation (5–10%) in hepatic tissue in the absence of significant chronic alcohol consumption. We aim to detect frequency of fatty liver among overweight/obese adults and children and associated clinical; anthropological measures; biochemical; genetic and imaging studies. Eighty three consecutive adults and 72 children included in the study. All patients underwent clinical measurements of height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist and hip circumference. Biochemical investigations were done to all subjects including liver function tests; lipid profile; fasting blood glucose; insulin resistance (IR); high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP); adiponectin and genotyping of adiponectin genes. Abdominal ultrasonography was done to search for fatty liver; to measure subcutaneous fat thickness (SFT) and visceral fat thickness (VFT). Fatty liver was detected in 47 (65.3%) children and in 52 (62.7%) adults. Correlation analysis in both groups revealed that enlarged liver was highly positively correlated to age; BMI, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP); waist circumference; hip circumference, subcutaneous fat thickness (SFT) and Visceral fat thickness (VFT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT). In addition in adults to fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), IR and hs-CRP. Homozygous T adiponectin genotype at position +276 was significantly increased among children with enlarged liver size and hs-CRP. NAFLD affects a substantial portion of adults and children; it is associated with the metabolic syndrome. 相似文献

Reduced-intensity stem cell transplantation (RIST) has opened a new era for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It was developed based on the knowledge that graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect is the main anti-tumor effect in allogeneic HSCT. Because RIST is associated with less morbidity and mortality, it can be applied to many patients who could not undergo conventional HSCT. Experiences in the last decade clarified many issues related to RIST. For example, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in RIST may differ in character compared to conventional HSCT. Also, it is now known that intensity of conditioning is important in disease control, and the optimal regimens may be different for each disease or for each disease status. There are still many unsolved questions, and large prospective randomized trials are necessary to resolve these. 相似文献

Chlamydia trachomatis utilizes the mammalian CLA1 lipid transporter to acquire host phosphatidylcholine essential for growth 下载免费PDF全文

Phosphatidylcholine is a constituent of Chlamydia trachomatis membranes that must be acquired from its mammalian host to support bacterial proliferation. The CLA1 (SR‐B1) receptor is a bi‐directional phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol transporter that is recruited to the inclusion of Chlamydia‐infected cells along with ABCA1. C. trachomatis growth was inhibited in a dose‐dependent manner by BLT‐1, a selective inhibitor of CLA1 function. Expression of a BLT‐1‐insensitive CLA1(C384S) mutant ameliorated the effect of the drug on chlamydial growth. CLA1 knockdown using shRNAs corroborated an important role for CLA1 in the growth of C. trachomatis. Trafficking of a fluorescent phosphatidylcholine analogue to Chlamydia was blocked by the inhibition of CLA1 or ABCA1 function, indicating a critical role for these transporters in phosphatidylcholine acquisition by this organism. Our analyses using a dual‐labelled fluorescent phosphatidylcholine analogue and mass spectrometry showed that the phosphatidylcholine associated with isolated Chlamydia was unmodified host phosphatidylcholine. These results indicate that C. trachomatis co‐opts host phospholipid transporters normally used to assemble lipoproteins to acquire host phosphatidylcholine essential for growth. 相似文献

Arid soils in Egypt display large variability in solute transport properties, causing problems in soil management. To characterize this variability, dye infiltration experiments were conducted on four plots representing three main soil types in northeastern Egypt. The plots represented both cultivated and uncultivated land use. The observed dye patterns displayed a large variability and especially the clay soils indicated a high degree of preferential flow. The loamy sand and sandy soils displayed a more uniform dye distribution indicating more homogeneous soil properties. The observed dye patterns were modeled using a diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) model. The DLA is a random walk model where model parameters can be optimized using genetic algorithms (GA). The DLA model reproduced the observed dye patterns for all soils in an excellent way. The best fit was obtained with a specific combination of directional random walk probabilities Pu, Pd, Pr, and Pl for each plot (correlation 0.97–0.99). To account for soil layers with different hydraulic properties a two layer DLA model was developed. For all plots the Pu (upward random walk probability) was higher for the upper more homogeneous soil layer. The overall results showed that spatial variability resulting from solute transport for the investigated soils can be modeled using a DLA approach. 相似文献
