Evaluation of rat kidney aldose reductase inhibitory activity of some N-acetyl dehydroalanine derivatives
(2011)
Aldose reductase (AR) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glucose to sorbitol, which is in turn converted to fructose by sorbitol dehydrogenase. Increased AR activity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ...
Synthesis and antioxidant activity evaluations of melatonin-based analogue indole-hydrazide/hydrazone derivatives
(2012)
Melatonin (MLT) is a hormone synthesized from the pineal gland. It is a direct scavenger of free radicals, which is related to its capability to defend cells from oxidative stress. Recently MLT-related compounds are under ...
Antimicrobial evaluation of indole-containing hydrazone derivatives
(2011)
There has been an increasing importance of drug-resistant pathogens in clinical microbiological and antibacterial research. Indoles and hydrazone-type compounds constitute important classes of compounds in the search for ...
Melatonin analogue new indole hydrazide/hydrazone derivatives with antioxidant behavior: Synthesis and structureactivity relationships
(2009)
Melatonin (MLT) is a hormone produced in the brain by the pineal gland, from the amino acid tryptophan. It is also an antioxidant hormone with a particular role in the protection of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. In recent ...
Investigation of the synthesis of some dehydroalanine derivatives
(2000)
Dehydroamino acids represent an important class of compound as they are key intermediates in unusual amino acid and in the design of peptides and are constituents of a variety of naturally occurring antibiotic and phytotoxic ...
Screening and evaluation of rat kidney aldose reductase inhibitory activity of some pyridazine derivatives
(2007)
Aldose reductase (AR) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glucose to sorbitol, which is in turn converted to fructose by sorbitol dehydrogenase. The increased glucose flux through this metabolic pathway has been ...
Investigation of the in vitro antioxidant behaviour of some 2-phenylindole derivatives: Discussion on possible antioxidant mechanisms and comparison with melatonin
(2006)
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the development of many neurodegenerative diseases and also responsible from aging and some cancer types. Indolic compounds are a broad family of substances present in microorganisms, ...
Novel N-acyl dehydroalanine derivatives as antioxidants: Studies on rat liver lipid peroxidation levels and DPPH free radical scavenging activity
(2006)
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the development of many neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson and Alzhemier's disease and is also responsible for aging, artherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and carcinogenesis. ...
Investigation of antimicrobial activities of indole-3-aldehyde hydrazide/hydrazone derivatives
(2008)
Background: Indoles and hydrazone-type compounds constitute an important class of compounds for new drug development in order to discover an effective compound against multi-drug-resistant microbial infections. Methods: A ...
Screening and evaluation of antioxidant activity of some pyridazine derivatives
(2008)
Antioxidants are compounds that can delay, inhibit, or prevent the oxidation of materials that can be oxidized by scavenging free radicals and help in diminishing oxidative stress. They belong to different chemical classes. ...
