Abstract
Eleven oxazolone derivatives were synthesized and characterized by (1)H NMR, EI, IR and UV spectroscopic and CHN analysis. Three compounds, 4-[(E)-(4-nitrophenyl)methylidene]-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one (11), 4-[(E)-(4-methoxyphenyl)methylidene]-2-methyl-1,3-oxazol-5-one (12) and 4-[(E)-(4-nitrophenyl)methylidene]-2-methyl-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one (13) were screened for phagocyte chemiluminescence, neutrophil chemotaxis, T-cell proliferation, cytokine production from mononuclear cells and cytotoxicity. 4-[(E)-(4-Nitrophenyl)methylidene]-2-methyl-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one (13) was found to be the most potent immunomodulator in the series.Entities:
