Imidazolidine Derivatives in Cancer Research: What is known?

Abstract

: Even though cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, a number of open issues persist in cancer treatment, despite the achievements of the field. This review aims at discussing the fundamental role of Imidazolidine derivatives in the industry of cancer treatment. Compelling data from 1996 to 2021 will introduce Imidazolidine derivatives as a relevant tool to modulate cancer progression.

Structural and Dynamic Behaviour of Heterocycles Derived from Ethylenediamines with Formaldehyde: 1,3,5-Triazinanes and Bis(imidazolidinyl)methanes

“…Product 1a was identified by comparison with the NMR data of pure compound 2a obtained later. Compound 1a: 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ: 3.29 (s, 6H, H2, H4, H6), 2.96 (t, 6H, J = 7.0 Hz, H8), 2.50 (t, 6H, J = 7.0 Hz, H7), 3.40 (s br, 3H, H9), 2.25 (s, 9H, H10). 13 C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ: 72.3 (C2, C4, C6), 54.2 (C7), 45.7 (C8), 39.5 (C10).…”

“…Product 1c was identified by comparison with the NMR data of pure compound 2c obtained later. Compound 1c: 1 H NMR (400 Mhz, CDCl 3 ) δ: 7.35-7.15 (m, 15H, H ar ), 3.59 (s, 6H, H10), 3.42 (s, 6H, H2, H4, H6), 3.02 (t, 6H, J = 7.1 Hz, H8), 2.62 (t, 6H, J = 7.1 Hz, H7), 2.60 (s br, 3H, H9). 13 C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ: 139.0 (C i ), 128.7 (C o ), 128.5 (C m ), 127.2 (C p ), 70.7 (C2, C4, C6), 58.0 (C10), 52.3 (C7), 45.4 (C8).…”

“…On the one hand, imidazolidines are of commercial interest due to their multiple biological activities related to ring substitution [1,2]. Bis(imidazolidinyl)methanes are derived from these heterocycles and have shown excellent antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and antitumor activity [3].…”
