A novel series of 2-arylidenehydrazinyl-4-arylthiazole analogues (3a-p) was designed and synthesized in excellent yields using a rapid, simple, efficient methodology. Sixteen novel compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activities against eleven bacteria, namely, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus faecalis
Sulphur is an essential element for life and is ubiquitous in living systems. Yet how the sulphur atom is incorporated into many sulphur-containing secondary metabolites is poorly understood. For bond formation between carbon and sulphur in primary metabolites, the major

The biosynthetic pathways of the thiazole moiety of thiamin were studied in the archaeon Halobacterium salinarum. Thiamin is generated by the union of 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine (pyrimidine) and 5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazole (thiazole). The biosynthesis of thiazole is different in facultative anaerobes, aerobes and eukaryotes.

The unfolded protein response and endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) contribute to injury in renal glomerular diseases, including those mediated by complement C5b-9. In the present study, we address the role of protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) in complement-mediated glomerular injury and
