A new class of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole chalcone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity. These chalcone derivatives show promising activity, with logGI50 values ranging from -7.51 to -4.00. The detailed biological aspects of these derivatives toward the MCF-7 cell line were studied. Interestingly, these chalcone derivatives induced G 0/G1-phase cell-cycle arrest, down-regulation of G 1-phase cell-cycle regulatory proteins such as cyclin D1 and cyclin E1, and up-regulation of CDK4. Moreover, these compounds elicit the characteristic features of apoptosis such as enhancement in the levels of p53, p21, and p27, suppression of NF-κB, and up-regulation of caspase-9. One of these chalcone derivatives, 3d, is potentially well suited for detailed biological studies, either alone or in combination with existing therapies. Breaking the cycle: We undertook an extensive examination of the ability of a series of new chalcone derivatives to regulate the cell cycle and to induce apoptosis in various cancer cell lines. Compound 3d is a particularly suitable candidate for further detailed biological investigations, especially in the treatment of breast cancer.

The synthesis, characterization, and functional in vitro assays in cardiac tissues and smooth muscle (vascular and nonvascular) of a number of 4-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-1,4-dihydropyridines are reported. The binding properties for the novel compounds have been investigated and the interaction with the binding site common to other aryl-dihydropyridines has been demonstrated. Interestingly, the novel 4-aryl-dihydropyridines are L-type calcium channel blockers with a peculiar pharmacological behavior. Indeed, the imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole system is found to confer to the dihydropyridine scaffold an inotropic and/or chronotropic cardiovascular activity with a high selectivity toward the nonvascular tissue. Finally, molecular modeling studies were undertaken for the most representative compounds with the aim of describing the binding properties of the new ligands at molecular level and to rationalize the found structure-activity relationship data. Due to the observed pharmacological behavior of our compounds, they might be promising agents for the treatment of specific cardiovascular pathologies such as cardiac hypertrophy and ischemia.
