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
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
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
Some years ago, we reported that colloid goiters could be produced experimentally in mice and rats by injection of TSH over a few days in the presence of ample iodine supply. This clearly showed that colloid accumulation and intense TSH
