Imidazole
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Imidazole (Glyoxaline; 1,3-Diaza-2,4-cyclopentadiene) is a heterocyclic aromatic compound. Imidazole bearing molecules have been used as corrosion, acetylcholinesterase (AChEI) and xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors, performing biological activities such as antifungal, antituberculosis, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic, amongst many others. Imidazole inhibits the enzymatic conversion of the endoperoxides (PGG2 and PGH2) to thromboxane A2 by platelet microsomes. Imidazole derivatives exhibits inhibition on SARS-CoV-2 3CLPro enzyme, which is promising for research in the field of Alzheimer’s disease, gout, COVID-19 and thrombo-embolic disease.

Imidazole (0.01-100 μM, 48 h) shows no inhibitory activityis, but imidazole derivatizations shows significant inhibitory effects in different tumor cell lines[1]. Imidazole (0.01-100 μM, 48 h) has a weak affinity for both EGFR and HER2, whereas the derivatization improves their affinity for these receptors in tumor cells[1].
