A series of novel N-acyl-thiochromenothiazol-2-amine derivatives were designed and synthesized, furthermore, their inhibition effect on acetylcholinesterase was investigated. N-Acyl-thiochromenothiazol-2-amines were prepared from thiophenol by Hantzsch reaction, acylation reaction and substitution reaction. Moreover, their bioactivities as AChE inhibitors in vitro were measured with Ellman spectrophotometry. The results showed that most of them had a certain inhibition activity on AChE, and the compound 10a was the best in them. The IC50 of 10a to AChE is 7.92 μmol x L(-1), and the value is better than that of rivastigmine. N-Acyl-thiochromenothiazol-2-amine derivatives showed a certain bioactivity in vitro, which were worth further investigation.

N-Acyl-4-phenylthiazole-2-amines were designed and synthesized, moreover their effects on acetylcholinesterase activities were tested. N-Acyl-4-phenylthiazole-2-amines were prepared from substituted 2-bromo-1-acetophenones by three steps reaction, and their AChE inhibitory activities were measured by Ellman method in vitro. The results showed that the target compounds had a certain inhibitory activity on AChE in vitro. Among them, 8c was the best, and IC50 of 8c was 0.51 micromol x L(-1), better than that of rivastigmine and Huperzine-A. The inhibitory activities of N-acyl-4-phenylthiazole-2-amines on acetylcholinesterase are worth while to be further studied.

A series of novel 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized, furthermore, their inhibition effect on acetylcholinesterase were investigated. 2-Amino-4-phenylthiazoles were prepared from alpha-bromoacetophenones by Hantzsch reaction, acylation reaction and substitution reaction. Moreover, their bioactivities as AChE inhibitors in vitro were measured with Ellman spectrophotometry. The results showed that most of them had a certain inhibition activity on AChE, and the compound 8a was the best of them. The IC50 of 8a to AChE is 3.54 micromol x L(-1), and the value was better than that of rivastigmine. 2-Amino-4-phenylthiazole derivatives showed a certain bioactivity in vitro, which were worth further investigation.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of the Yuying powder combined with the Huanglian Shangqing pill for the treatment of subacute thyroiditis (SAT) with cervical anterior pain as the main complaint, as well as its impact on serum pain factors and oxidative stress levels in patients.Methods:A prospective selection of 100 SAT patients with anterior cervical pain as the main complaint admitted to the Hebei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to May 2022 was conducted. They were randomly divided into two groups, with 50 patients in each group. The control group was treated with sustained-release diclofenac sodium tablets, while the observation group was treated with external application of the Yuying powder and internal administration of the Huanglian Shangqing pill. After 2 weeks of continuous treatment, the analgesic efficacy and adverse drug reactions of both groups were observed. The analgesic onset time of two groups of anterior cervical pain was compared. Two simplified McGill pain questionnaires before and after treatment [the SF-MPQ scores, including Pain Rating Index (PRI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Current Pain Intensity (PPI) ], were compared; the traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Score, Serum Pain Factors levels [ tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- α, interleukin-1 β(IL-1β), prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2), and nitric oxide (NO) ] and oxidative stress indicators [the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) ] were also compared. Results:The total effective rate of analgesia in the observation group [98.00%(49/50)] was significantly higher than that in the control group [82.00%(41/50)] ( P<0.05). The analgesic onset time in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of various components (PRI, VAS, PPI) and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores in the two groups of SF-MPQ were significantly reduced compared to before treatment (all P<0.05); and the decrease was more significant in the observation group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of TNF -α, IL-1β, PGE 2, and NO in both groups significantly decreased compared to before treatment (all P<0.05), and the levels of serum pain inducing factors in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, both groups showed a significant decrease in serum MDA content (all P<0.05), and a significant increase in serum SOD and GSH-Px levels (all P<0.05); And the improvement was more significant in the observation group (all P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group [4.00%(2/50)] was lower than that in the control group [16.00%(8/50)] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall efficacy of external application of Yuying powder combined with oral administration of Huanglian Shangqing pill in the treatment of SAT with cervical anterior pain as the main complaint is definite, and its effect may be related to significantly downregulating the expression level of serum related pain inducing factors in patients and reducing the level of oxidative stress in the body.
