Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) over expression plays an important role in several pathological conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, chronic inflammatory diseases, psoriasis, and tumor angiogenesis. In this regard, a series of twenty-five 2-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives 1-25 were evaluated for thymidine phosphorylase inhibitory activity. Six compounds 5, 6, 20, 2, 23, and 3 were found to be active against thymidine phosphorylase enzyme with IC50 values in the range of 42.9-294.6μM. 7-Deazaxanthine (IC50=41.0±1.63μM) was used as a standard inhibitor. Compound 5 showed a significant activity (IC50=42.9±1.0μM), comparable to the standard. The enzyme kinetic studies on the most active compounds 5, 6, and 20 were performed for the determination of their modes of inhibition, and dissociation constants Ki. All active compounds were found to be largely non-cytotoxic against the mouse fibroblast 3T3 cell line. This study identifies a novel class of thymidine phosphorylase inhibitors which may be further investigated as leads to develop therapeutic agents.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals.

Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D016475 3T3 Cells Cell lines whose original growing procedure consisted being transferred (T) every 3 days and plated at 300,000 cells per plate (J Cell Biol 17:299-313, 1963). Lines have been developed using several different strains of mice. Tissues are usually fibroblasts derived from mouse embryos but other types and sources have been developed as well. The 3T3 lines are valuable in vitro host systems for oncogenic virus transformation studies, since 3T3 cells possess a high sensitivity to CONTACT INHIBITION. 3T3 Cell,Cell, 3T3,Cells, 3T3
