“…The imidazole-2-thiones have also shown a wide range of biological activities, having antitumor (Iradyan et al, 1987), antiulcer (Tsuji et al, 1989), anti-inflammatory (Selig et al, 2011;Tsuji et al, 1989), antiarthritic, analgesic (Sharpe et al, 1985), antihyperthyroid (Doerge et al, 1993), tuberculostatic (Trzhtsinskaya et al, 1992), antibacterial, antifungal and insecticidal activity (Saeed and Batool, 2007). They were also shown to possess anti-HIV activity, by showing non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibition (Yasser et al, 2003) and human cytosolic phospholipase A2 activity having a role in preventing inflammation (Makita et al, 2000).…”
