Previously, we demonstrated that 5,5-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin (DPTH) exerts an anti-proliferation effect on subcultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). In the present study, we show that 2(naphthalen-2-ylmethylsulfanyl)-5,5-diphenyl-1,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one (DPTH-N10), a derivative compound of DPTH, exerts a 5 times stronger inhibition of [3H]thymidine
A series of 5,5-dimethylthiohydantoin derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for androgen receptor pure antagonistic activities for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer. Since CH4933468, which we reported previously, had a problem with agonist metabolites, novel thiohydantoin derivatives were identified by
The molecular pathways by which long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) influence skeletal health remain elusive. Both LCPUFA and parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor (PTH1R) are known to be involved in bone metabolism while any direct link between the two
Previously, we identified DPTH, an analogue of antiepileptic drug phenytoin (5,5-diphenylhydantoin, DPT), capable of retarding the cell cycle in the human vascular endothelial cells. Our data suggest that DPTH inhibits human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVEC) proliferation by increasing the
To obtain a rapid, efficient and mild synthesis of 5,5-diphenylhydantoin and 5,5-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin derivatives, ultrasonic irradiation has been applied to the reaction mixtures containing substituted benzils and urea or thiourea derivatives catalyzed by KOH in DMSO/H(2)O, which allowed us to achieve
