scholarly journals Design, Synthesis, and Acute Anti-inflammatory Assessment of New 2-methyl Benzoimidazole Derivatives Having 4-Thiazolidinone Nucleus

New two derivatives of 2- methyl benzoimidazole were designed, synthesized and evaluated as a potential cyclooxygenase-2 [COX-2] inhibitors. The synthesized compounds have been recognized according to their spectral FT-IR, 1H-NMR data and physical pro- perties. The newly synthesized compounds were investigated in vivo for their anti-inflammatory activities using egg-white stimulated paw edema method with respect to the effect of propylene glycol 50%v/v [control group] and the ibuprofen [10mg/kg i.p.] was selected as a reference ligand. New compounds showed a significantly higher in vivo anti-inflammatory activity compared with ibuprofen as a reference drug. COX-2 selectivity evaluation through molecular docking via GOLD suite [v. 5.6.2.]. The new compounds via molecular docking showed significant higher activities when compared with ibuprofen as referenced drugs because of having hydrogen bonding interaction toward the key amino acids within COX-2 structure and all these results were compatible with the study of in vivo acute anti-inflammatory activities for tested compounds. ADME studies were performed to predict absorption, bioavailability, topological polar surface area, and drug-likeness. The results of ADME studies showed that all synthesized compounds absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.

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.

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an inducible enzyme that causes inflammation. COX-2 inhibitors are clinically effective anti-inflammatory agents with less gastrointestinal and renal toxicities. However, they lack anti-thrombotic activity and hence lead to increased incidences of adverse cardiovascular thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction. Therefore, there is still need to develop COX-2 inhibitors with better therapeutic effects and tolerability. The aim of the present study is to explore the anti-inflammatory activity of five lichen metabolites by conducting virtual screenings. In this regard, molecular docking simulations were carried out for the lichen metabolites namely atranorin, diffractic acid, lecanoric acid, salazinic acid and usnic acid with human COX-2 enzyme and the docked results were compared with the standard reference ligands (Celecoxib and Rofecoxib). Among all the docked ligands, the lecanoric acid demonstrated best binding affinity -9.83 kcal/mol followed by atranorin (-8.7 kcal/mol) and diffractic acid (-8.6 kcal/mol) which are comparable to the reference ligands celecoxib (-12.3 kcal/mol) and rofecoxib (-11.2 kcal/mol). The salazinic acid and usnic acid has shown binding affinity of -7.9 kcal/mol and -4.7 kcal/mol, respectively. Moreover, all the ligands except atranorin and diffractic acid satisfied Lipinski’s rule of 5. From the docking results it was revealed that the lichen metabolites might have inhibitory activity against COX-2 enzyme, and are expected to be useful in conducting in vivo anti-inflammatory screenings on animal model which may lead to the development of more effective and potent new chemical entities with anti-inflammatory properties.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 18(2): 90-96, 2015

The hydrazide was treated with different aryl isothiocyanatesto give corresponding thiosemicarbazone derivatives, which underwent cyclization in 4N sodium hydroxide to affordcorresponding title compound. All the compounds evaluated for their in vitro antioxidant and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. From the results, compounds 6b and 6e have shown potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. The biological data was further supported by molecular docking studies, which revealed the binding pattern and the affinity of the molecules in the active site of COX-2.

Background: The pyrazolines give the reactions of aliphatic derivatives, resembling unsaturated compounds in their behavior towards permanganate and nascent hydrogen. This nucleus has been associated with various biological activities including inflammatory. Thiazolinone is a heterocyclic compound that contains both sulfur and nitrogen atom with a carbonyl group in their structure.Thiazolinone and their derivatives have attracted continuing interest because of their various biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-proliferative, antiviral, anticonvulsant etc. The aim of the research was to club pyrazoline nucleus with thiazolinone in order to have significantanti-inflammatory activity. The synthesized compounds were chemically characterized for the establishment of their chemical structures and to evaluate as anti-inflammatory agent. Method: In the present work, eight derivatives of substituted pyrazoline (PT1-PT8) were synthesized by a three step reaction.The compounds were subjected to spectral analysis by Infrared, Mass and Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and elemental analysis data. All the synthesized were evaluated for their in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. The synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their affinity towards target COX-1 and COX-2, using indomethacin as the reference compound molecular docking visualization through AutoDock Vina. Results: Compounds PT-1, PT-3, PT-4 and PT-8 exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity at 3rd hour being 50.7%, 54.3%, 52.3% and 57% respectively closer to that of the standard drug indomethacin (61.9%).From selected anti-inflammatory targets, the synthesized derivatives exhibited better interaction with COX-1 and COX-2 receptor, where indomethacin showed docking score of -6.5 kJ/mol, compound PT-1 exhibited highest docking score of -9.1 kJ/mol for COX-1 and compound PT-8 having docking score of 9.4 kJ/mol for COX-2. Conclusion: It was concluded that synthesized derivatives have more interaction with COX-2 receptors in comparison to the COX-1 receptors because the docking score with COX-2 receptors were very good. It is concluded that the synthesized derivatives (PT-1 to PT-8) are potent COX-2 inhibitors.

A simple and efficient catalytic synthesis of new 1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide derivatives through a one-pot reaction of hydrazine hydrate, arylidene malononitrile and isothiocyanates in the presence of HAp/ZnCl2 nano-flakes at 60-70°C has been described. The protocol's main advantages include high yields of products, a wide range of substrates, simple procedure, and short reaction time. Molecular docking studies of the designed compounds were accomplished as COX-2 inhibitors and showed that compounds 3d, 3e, 3h, and 3n give promising results compared with celecoxib as a reference drug.
