A number substituted hydrazines began in 1962, when it was shown of these chemicals are found today in the environment, in that the base compound hydrazine sulfate induced lung industry, in agriculture, and in medicine, and the human neoplasms in mice (1). Subsequently, a series of hydrazine population is exposed to a certain degree to some of them. derivatives were investigated in various laboratories for Hydrazine also occurs in nature in tobacco and tobacco tumor-inducing capabilities.

Les EROs, à cause du stress oxydant qu’elles génèrent, sont impliquées dans de nombreuses pathologies, notamment l’athérosclérose. Les monoamine oxydases (MAOs) sont deux flavoenzymes responsables de la dégradation des catécholamines et des amines biogènes comme la sérotonine ; elles sont une source importante d’EROs. Il a été montré qu’elles peuvent être impliquées dans la prolifération cellulaire ou l’apoptose du fait du stress oxydant qu’elles génèrent. Ce travail de thèse a montré que la MAO-A, en dégradant son substrat (sérotonine ou tyramine), active une voie de signalisation mitogène particulière : la voie métalloprotéase- 2/sphingolipides (MMP2/sphingolipides), et contribue à la prolifération de cellules musculaire lisses vasculaires induite par ces monoamines. De plus, une étude complémentaire a confirmé l’importance des EROs comme stimulus mitogène (utilisation de peroxyde d’hydrogène exogène), et a décrit plus spécifiquement les étapes en amont de l’activation de MMP2, ainsi que l’activation par la MMP2 de la sphingomyélinase neutre (première enzyme de la cascade des sphingolipides).

The synthesis involves deprotonation of semicarbazones with sodium hydride in MeCN followed by treatment with alkylating reagents. The developed alkylation method was applied to the preparation of hardly available 2-alkylsemicarbazides and their hydrochlorides from semicarbazide hydrochloride. This general and efficient protocol is based on preparation of acetone semicarbazone, its alkylation, and hydrolysis under mild conditions.

Academic Editor: Derek J. McPhee Received: 25 November 2014 / Accepted: 15 February 2015 / Published: 19 February 2015 Abstract: Glycation is an ageing reaction of naturally occurring sugars with dermal proteins, with clinical signs appearing in vivo around age 30, and increasing steadily/regularly with age. The suppleness of the dermis is affected by the formation of bridges between proteins and sugars (Maillard’s reaction). The accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in skin plays a very important role in skin ageing. Therefore, natural compounds or extracts that possess antiglycation activities may have great anti-ageing potential. In the present study, Silybum marianum flower extract (SMFE) was demonstrated to possess antiglycation activity. We found that SMFE inhibits glycation reaction between BSA and glucose. In addition, antiglycation activity of SMFE was confirmed in a human skin explants model.
