Abstract
- Preliminary ab initio calculations led to the synthesis of novel substituted thiazolium salts, analogs of Alagebrium, which were further explored in vitro for their potential as inhibitors of the glycation reaction utilizing three distinct assays: inhibition of fluorescent AGEs formation, anticrosslinking, and deglycation. Despite the unidirectionality of the assays, distinct differences were observed in the mechanisms of interference and activity manifestation by the compounds. The gathered data permitted the formation of hypotheses about the molecular fragments of the studied antiglycators that are of utmost significance in each assay, thereby guiding future design endeavors. Potential mechanisms of actions are discussed therein. The compound 4-meth-yl-3-[2-(4-methylbiphenyl-4-yl)-2-oxoethyl] thiazolium bromide displayed high activity across all three assays, establishing it as a lead compound. The cytotoxicological properties of the compounds were evaluated using LDH and MTT assays. However, the lead compound exhibited cytotoxicity, indicating the need for additional investigations aimed at decreasing toxicity while maintaining activity. The targeted thiazolium salts were synthesized through an N-alkylation reaction between the corresponding thiazoles and phenacyl bromides.<br /> (© 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)
