title: Thiazolidine: A Potent Candidate for Central Nervous Systems Diseases.
abstract: Thiazolidines are multifaceted molecules and exhibit varied types of biological activities, and also showed anticonvulsants and antidepressants activity. It is the diversified class of heterocyclic compounds. Thiazolidinediones (TZD) has been shown beneficial action in various CNS diseases. The significant mechanism of TZD-induced neuroprotection useful in prevention of microglial activation and cytokine that is responsible for inflammatory condition and chemokine expression. At the molecular level TZDs were also responsible to prevent the activation of pro-inflammatory transcription factors as well as promoting the anti-oxidant mechanisms in the injured CNS. Important SAR, molecular mechanism and potent biological activities with special references to central nervous system are discussed in this article. Various investigations suggest that this moiety pave the way for design and discovery of new drug candidates.
