Studies in 3,4-diaryl-1,2,5-oxadiazoles and theirN-oxides: Search for better COX-2 inhibitorsA series of 3,4-diaryl-1,2,5-oxadiazoles and 3,4-diaryl-1,2,5-oxadiazoleN-oxides were prepared and evaluated for COX-2 and COX-1 binding affinityin vitroand for anti-inflammatory activity by the rat paw edema method.p-Methoxy (p-OMe) substituted compounds 9, 21, 34, 41, 42 showed COX-2 enzyme inhibition higher than that showed by compounds with other substituents. 3,4-Di(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,5-oxadiazoleN-oxide (42) showed COX-2 enzyme inhibition of 54% at 22 μmol L-1and COX-1 enzyme inhibition of 44% at 88 μmol L-1concentrations, but showed very lowin vivoanti-inflammatory activity. Its deoxygenated derivative (21) showed lower COX-2 enzyme inhibition (26% at 22 μmol L-1) and higher COX-1 enzyme inhibition (53% at 88 μmol L-1) but, markedin vivoanti-inflammatory activity (71% at 25 mg kg-1)vs.celecoxib (48% at 12.5 mg kg-1). Molecular modeling (docking) studies showed that the methoxy group is positioned in the vicinity of COX-2 secondary pocket and it also participates in hydrogen bonding interactions in the COX-2 active site. These preliminary studies suggest thatp-methoxy (p-OMe) group in one of benzene rings may give potentially active leads in this series of oxadiazole/N-oxides.

The long-term use of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) in treatment of different chronic inflammatory disorders is strongly restricted by their serious gastrointestinal adverse effects. Therefore, there is still an urgent need to search for new, safe, and efficient anti-inflammatory agents. Previously, we have reported the Mannich base-type derivatives of pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridazinone which strongly inhibit cyclooxygenase, have better affinity to COX-2 isoenzyme and exert promising anti-oxidant activity. These findings encouraged us to perform further optimization of that structure. Herein, we present the design, synthesis, molecular docking, spectroscopic, and biological studies of novel pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridazinone derivatives bearing 4-aryl-1-(1-oxoethyl)piperazine pharmacophore 5a,b–6a,b. The new compounds were obtained via convenient, efficient, one-pot synthesis. According to in vitro evaluations, novel molecules exert no cytotoxicity and act as selective COX-2 inhibitors. These findings stay in good correlation with molecular modeling results, which additionally showed that investigated compounds take a position in the active site of COX-2 very similar to Meloxicam. Moreover, all derivatives reduce the increased level of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and prevent DNA strand breaks caused by oxidative stress. Finally, performed spectroscopic and molecular docking studies demonstrated that new compound interactions with bovine serum albumin (BSA) are moderate, formation of complexes is in one-to-one ratio, and binding site II (subdomain IIIA) is favorable.

Novel (4-methoxy or 4,8-dimethoxy)-3-methyl-N-(6-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3, 6-tetrahydro- pyrimidin-4-yl) benzo [1,2-b: 5, 4-b’] difuran-2-carboxamide (5a–b) has been synthesized by the reaction of visnagenone–ethylacetate (2a) or khellinone–ethylacetate (2b) with 6-aminothiouracil in dimethylformamide or refluxing of benzofuran-oxy-N-(2-thioxopyrimidine) acetamide (4a–b) in sodium ethoxide to give the same products (5a,b) in good yields. Thus, compounds 5a–b are used as an initiative to prepare many new heterocyclic compounds such as 2-(4-(3-methylbenzodifuran- 2-carbox-amido) pyrimidine) acetic acid (6a–b), N-(thiazolo[3, 2-a]pyrimidine)-3-methylbenzo- difuran-2-carboxamide (7a–b), N-(2-thioxopyrimidine)-methylbenzodifuran-2-carbimidoylchloride (8a–b), N-(2-(methyl-thio) pyrimidine)-3-methylbenzodifuran-2-carbimidoylchloride (9a–b), N-(2, 6 -di(piperazine or morpholine)pyrimidine)-1-(3-methylbenzodifuran)-1-(piperazine or morpholine) methanimine(10a–d), 8-(methylbenzodifuran)-thiazolopyrimido[1,6-a][1,3,5]triazine-3,5-dione (11a –b), 8-(3-methyl benzodifuran)-thiazolopyrimido[6,1-d][1,3,5]oxadiazepine-trione (12a–b), and 2,10 -di(sub-benzylidene)-8-(3-methylbenzodifuran)-thiazolopyrimido[6,1-d][1,3,5]oxadiazepine-3,5,11- trione (13a–f). All new chemical structures were illustrated on the basis of elemental and spectral analysis (IR, NMR, and MS). The new compounds were screened as cyclooxygenase-1/ cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-1/COX-2) inhibitors and had analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. The compounds 10a–d and 13a–f had the highest inhibitory activity on COX-2 selectivity, with indices of 99–90, analgesic activity of 51–42% protection, and anti-inflammatory activity of 68%–59%. The inhibition of edema for the same compounds, 10a–d and 13a–f, was compared with sodium diclofenac as a standard drug.

Purpose. NSAIDs constitute an important class of drugs with therapeutic applications that have spanned several centuries. Treatment of inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) starting from the classic drug aspirin to the recent rise and fall of selective COX-2 inhibitors has provided an enthralling evolution. Efforts to discover an ultimate magic bullet to treat inflammation continues to be an important drug design challenge. This review traces the origins of NSAIDs, their mechanism of action at the molecular level such as cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition, development of selective COX-2 inhibitors, their adverse cardiovascular effects, and some recent developments targeted to the design of effective anti-inflammatory agents with reduced side effects. Methods. Literature data is presented describing important discoveries pertaining to the sequential development of classical NSAIDs and then selective COX-2 inhibitors, their mechanism of action, the structural basis for COX inhibition, and recent discoveries. Results. A brief history of the development of NSAIDs and the market withdrawal of selective COX-2 inhibitors is explained, followed by the description of prostaglandin biosynthesis, COX isoforms, structure and function. The structural basis for COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition is described along with methods used to evaluate COX-1/COX-2 inhibition. This is followed by a section that encompasses the major chemical classes of selective COX-2 inhibitors. The final section describes briefly some of the recent advances toward developing effective anti-inflammatory agents such as nitric oxide donor NO-NSAIDs, dual COX/LOX inhibitors and anti-TNF therapy. Conclusions. A great deal of progress has been made toward developing novel anti-inflammatory agents. In spite of the tremendous advances in the last decade, the design and development of a safe, effective and economical therapy for treating inflammatory conditions still presents a major challenge.

Aim: As part of ongoing studies in developing new anti-inflammatory agents, 2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine derivative 1 was synthesized by direct Biginelli condensation and used for the synthesis of novel series of  pyrimidin-2-thione derivatives  (2a-d to 7a-b). Materials and Methods: All compounds were examined for their anti-inflammatory activity using the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema assay in comparison to ibuprofen, as a reference drug. Molecular docking studies were carried out using SYBLYL-X v.2.1 software. Study Design: A series of pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized by a simple and available method leads to a molecule of promising anti-inflammatory activity, the docking studies show good agreement with anti-inflammatory results. Future researches are recommended to assure the importance of these new derivatives for various applications. Place and Duration of Study: Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry Department and Pharmacology and Toxicology Department, Faculty of Pharmacy, Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt, between February 2018 and March 2019. Results: Compounds showed 61 to 86% anti-inflammatory activity where-as ibuprofen showed 69% activity. Compounds 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 7a, 7b induced strong anti-inflammatory activity, comparable with that of ibuprofen, they showed significantly difference at 4h post-carrageenan. Compound 3c (86%) showed the best result of edema inhibition in rats. Moreover, compounds 1, 2c and 3c were subjected to in vitro enzyme assay investigations against COX-1 and COX-2. All tested compounds showed higher potency towards COX-2 over COX-1. Compound 3c realized higher potency towards COX-2 (IC50= 0.046 μM) than compounds 1(IC50= 0.21 μM) and 2c (IC50=0.11 μM) as well as ibuprofen (IC50= 43.628 μM). Structure-activity relationship (SAR) has been discussed. Conclusion: A series of pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized by a simple and available method gave a molecule of promising anti-inflammatory activity, the docking studies showed good agreement with anti-inflammatory results.
