Thiazole derivatives are attractive candidates for drug development because they can be efficiently synthesized and are active against a number of diseases and conditions, including diabetes. In our present study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of N-adamantyl-4-methylthiazol-2-amine (KHG26693)

Methods to improve the mental development of extremely low birthweight (ELBW) children are currently lacking. We assessed the effects of long-term supplementation of alpha-tocopherol on the neurological development of 259 school-aged ELBW children. Extremely low birthweight participants were divided into
