Lipophilic amino alcohols reduces carrageenan-induced paw edema and anti-OVA DTH in BALB/c mice.

The inflammation process is a coordinated response of the organism related to immune response with release of pro-inflammatory substances, as nitric oxide, TNF-α and IL-1β. In this work, a series of lipophilic amino alcohols were evaluated on RAW264.7 and primary macrophages for the modulation of nitric oxide and TNF-α.

Preparation of amino alcohols condensed with carbohydrates: Evaluation of cytotoxicity and inhibitory effect on NO production.

This work reports the preparation of several amino alcohols condensed with d-arabinose, d-glucose, and d-galactose derivatives. These compounds were evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxicity and ability to decrease nitric oxide production in J774A.1 cells.

Synthesis and antileishmanial activity of lipidic amino alcohols.

In this work, a number of lipidic amino alcohols wereas synthesized and evaluated in vitro on cultures of Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania chagasi. Nine amino alcohols showed inhibition of L. chagasi growth, and seven of them showed inhibition of L.

Preparation and antitubercular activity of lipophilic diamines and amino alcohols.

A series of diamines and amino alcohols derived from 1-dodecanol, 1-tetradecanol, 1,2-dodecanediol and 1,2-tetradecanediol were synthesized and tested for their antitubercular activity. Compounds 3, 8 and 9 were found to be the most active (MIC of 6.25 microg/mL).

Synthesis and immunosuppressive activity of lipophilic amino alcohols and diamines.

In this work, we report the preparation and evaluation of the in vitro and in vivo of the immunosuppressive activity of a series of lipophilic amino alcohols and diamines. All compounds were evaluated for inhibition of cell proliferation, cytotoxicity and NO production. Compounds 9, 12, 13, 17, and 18 did not display inhibition of cell proliferation while decreased NO production.

Preparation and antitubercular activities of alkylated amino alcohols and their glycosylated derivatives.

A series of N- and C-alkylated amino alcohols and of their protected galactopyranosyl derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for antitubercular activity. Five of these compounds displayed good activity, with a MIC below 12.5mug/mL.
