New and known arylidene-hydrazinyl-thiazole derivatives have been synthesized by a convenient Hantzsch condensation. All compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity on two carcinoma cell lines, MDA-MB231 and HeLa. Significant antiproliferative activity for 2-(2-benzyliden-hydrazinyl)-4-methylthiazole on both MDA-MB-231 (IC50: 3.92 µg/mL) and HeLa (IC50: 11.4 µg/mL) cell lines, and ...

Using dehydroepiandrosterone as the starting material, we have synthesized a series of steroid analogs possessing a D-ring fused with heterocycles which are pyridine, imidazo [2,1-b]thiazoles or substituted thiazole imines. All the final structures are first reported and identified by NMR and MS spectroscopys, the yields of these products are moderate to good and the reaction conditions are mil...

4-Methyl-5-formylthiazole, an intermediate for synthesizing cefditoren pivoxil,was prepared in good yield by Pd/BaSO(4) catalyzed hydrogenation of 4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid chloride. Detailed reaction conditions have been studied.

The biosynthesis of thiamine has been believed to be accomplished with the initial formation of the pyrimidine and thiazole moieties by independent routes, followed by a final step in which pyrimidine and thiazole are jointed together to form thiamine. Recently, Nose (1-3), Brown (4-7), and Leder (8, 9) separated the enzyme system from cell-free extracts of bakers' yeast which is capable of syn...

The unexpected interaction between thiazole orange (TO) and calix[4]arene sulfonate is reported herein. H-Aggregates of TO switching on their fluorescence in solution are observed. Surprisingly, fluorescence enhancement is not linked to host-guest inclusion, but rather to calix[4]arene sulfonate serving as a template for several TO molecules.

The title compounds were prepared by brominating 1-acetylnaphthalene in chloroform followed by condensation with substituted benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazones using ethanol to get 4-naphthalen-1-yl-2-{2-[(substituted phenyl)methylidene]hydrazino}-1,3-thiazoles. These thiazole derivatives were then cyclized to title compounds by reacting with thiomalic acid in dioxane using ZnCl2. All the synthesi...
