“…Among these, there are compounds with acetylenic and phthalimide groups, as well as isoindoline‐1,3‐diones. Regarding the last ones, isoindoline heterocycles have demonstrated potential in medicinal chemistry as they exhibit activity toward diverse biological targets, such as selective ER‐β (estrogen receptor) ligands , selective ETA (endothelin‐A) antagonists , agents for various purposes including reducing inflammatory cytokine levels , reducing tumor necrosis factor α (TNF‐α) levels , blocking α‐adrenergic receptor , as HDAC (histone deacetylase) inhibitors , as multidrug resistance reversal agents , and as anticonvulsant agents . Therefore, they have been used in the treatment of diverse diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and anxiety disorders , osteoporosis , cardiovascular diseases , rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation , autoimmune disease , and cancer .…”
