K. Yamaguchi et al., 4-phenylthiazole derivatives inhibit IL-6 secretion in osteoblastic cells and suppress bone weight loss in ovariectomized mice, BIOORG MED, 9(7), 1999, pp. 957-960
A series of 4-phenylthiazole derivatives were synthesized and tested their
inhibitory effect on the interleukin-6 secretion stimulated by PTH in osteo
blastic cells. SCRC2941-18, 2 amino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-methylthiazole, wa
s found to be the most potent inhibitor in the derivatives. Furthermore, SC
RC2941-18 significantly suppressed the bone weight loss in the ovariectomiz
ed mice, an osteoporosis model, (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights r
