Synthesis of aminoacyl thiaolidones as potential antitumour agents

Biomed Pharmacother. 2006 Apr;60(3):121-6. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2006.01.005. Epub 2006 Feb 23.

Abstract

In the scope of a research program aiming to perform the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of novel possible antitumour prototype compounds, we report in this paper the synthesis of new peptidyl derivatives from 4-thiazolidone nucleus. The synthesis reactions have been performed based in peptide synthesis as strategies. The characterisation of this new class of compounds was performed with IR and (1)H-NMR spectroscopy. In vivo, antitumour activity tests showed that some of these compounds were able to inhibit significantly sarcoma S-180 tumour growth in mice, revealing itself as a new potential class of drugs in cancer chemotherapy.
