Hydantoin;2,4-IMIDAZOLINEDIONE

Hydantoin and its compounds can be bio-extracted from traditional Chinese medicines such as Arisaema heterophyllum, toad oil, certain marine organisms, and fungi, or they can be artificially synthesized using various methods based on their structural formulas. Due to the diverse substitution sites and substituents of hydantoin, and the unique biological activities of each substituent, the interactions between these groups result in a wide range of pharmacological effects. Hydantoin compounds exhibit broad pharmacological effects, affecting the nervous, muscular, respiratory, cardiovascular, immune, and endocrine systems. They possess antispasmodic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antitussive, antiasthmatic, hypoglycemic, antiarrhythmic, and antitumor properties. Hydantoin compounds show promising application prospects and research value in the treatment of inflammation, autoimmune systemic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, hypertension, tumors, convulsions, and epilepsy.
