Search for: [Abstract = "Multidrug resistance \(MDR\) is a global problem in the treatment of bacterial infections and cancer. One of the solutions is to search for adjuvants able to block at least one of the mechanisms of resistance. Research performed within this PhD\-thesis included design, synthesis, biological as well as “drug\-like” properties evaluation of the 2\-aminoimidazolone derivatives as potential adjuvants in the treatment of bacterial infections and cancer. Design of new compounds was conducted on the basis of previously found active compounds. A series of 49 new imidazolones was synthesized in 3\-6\- stages. The obtained compounds were tested for their antibiotic adjuvant activity in Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strains, while determination of their adjuvant activity in chemotherapy was performed in T\-lymphoma cancer cells. An attempt to assess mechanisms of imidazolones` action was taken using both, in silico and in vitro assays. For selected imidazolones, ADMETox and physicochemical assays were carried out. Finally, structureactivity relationship \(SAR\) studies were conducted. This research indicated that 2\-aminoimidazolones displayed potency of adjuvants for the treatment of multidrug resistant bacterial infections and cancer."]
