The Effects of 4(3)quinazolinone-2-propyl-2-phenyl Ethyl on Brain Development of Newborn Balb/c Mice

چکیده
Quinazolinones, water insoluble heterocyclic compounds, have various biological and pharmacological properties (anti-bacterial, anti-inflammation, sedation and anti-depression) are also used for the treatments of cancer and HIV. Our previous results proved that new derivative of quinazolinones is toxogenic and teratogenic in mouse. Pregnant Balb/C mice (n=8) were divided into 3 groups of control, receiving distilled water, sham,treated with 0.05% methyl cellulose (the solvent)and experimental group, receiving one of the most effective dose of 100mg/kg/body weight of 4(3H)quinazolinone-2propyl-2-phenyl ethyl (QPPE) by IP injections on days 8 to 15 of gestation. After anesthetizing, brains of 5-day old newborn Balb/C mice were removed and prepared for histopathological studies. Pathological observations demonstrated an increase in the number of astrocytes of cerebral cortex and medulla of newborn mice of treated groups. Confirming the results, statistical studies showed no significant differences between the morphology of newborn mice of control, sham and treated groups’astrocytes, but there were significant differences in the number of astrocytes of newborn mice of group treated with QPPE. In conclusion, astrocyte hyperplasia decreases toxic effects of QPPE by passing through blood-brain barrier.

Objective(s) Quinazolinones are heterocyclic compounds, with biological and pharmacological activities, such as inhibiting some proteins, enzymes and reducing blood lipids. Materials and Methods Following previous results of our group, effects of two new derivatives of quinazolinones 9(3)-quinazolinone-2-propyl-2-phenylethyl (QPPE) and 9(3)-quinazolinone-2-ethyl-2-phenylethyl (QEPE) on liver...
متن کاملQuinazolinone exposure induces apoptosis and changes expressions of Fas/FasL and C-Flip in embryonic mice testicles.
Quinazolinones represent a class of sedative and anticancer drugs. Quinazolinones-based compounds have ability to suppress prostate tumor growth via apoptosis. Apoptosis is very common in embryos and adults of normal and injured mammalian testes. Effects a new derivative of quinazolinone (4(3H) quinazolinone-2-ethyl-2-phenyl ethyl (QEPE)), on the testis of Balb/C mice embryos were investigated....

Objective(s) Quinazolinones are heterocyclic components (able to form cyclized compounds) which have several medical effects such as anti-malarial, spasmolytic, anti-microbial, sedative, etc. They are also known for their fungicidal properties, inhibition of tyrosine-kinase and DNA repair enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and are also effective in treatment of cancer, diabetes, and pa...
متن کاملSynthesis of two potential NK1-receptor ligands using [1-11C]ethyl iodide and [1-11C]propyl iodide and initial PET-imaging
BACKGROUND The previously validated NK1-receptor ligand [O-methyl-11C]GR205171 binds with a high affinity to the NK1-receptor and displays a slow dissociation from the receptor. Hence, it cannot be used in vivo for detecting concentration changes in substance P, the endogenous ligand for the NK1-receptor. A radioligand used for monitoring these changes has to enable displacement by the endogeno...
