Authors:

Abstract

Indan derivatives, namely, 5-(5',6'-dichloroindan-1'-yl)-tetrazole (12a) and 5-(5',6'-dichloroindan-1'-yl)- methyltetrazole (12b), were synthesized conveniently from 5,6-dichloroindan-1-carboxylic acid (9a) and 5,6- dichloroindan-1-acetic acid (9b), respectively, as potential analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of 9a, 9b, 12a and 12b were evaluated by the acetic acid induced writhing in Swiss albino mice and the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema models, respectively. Compounds 9a and 12a exhibited significant analgesic activity with the doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight, comparable to that of the positive controls, phenylbutazone, indomethacin and aminopyrine. The anti-inflammatory potencies of 9a and 12a were also comparable to that of the positive control, phenylbutazone. Compounds 9b and 12b showed analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities, but were weaker than that of compounds 9a and 12a.

A series of ester derivatives of (6-chloro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-l-yl)acetic acid were synthesized and screened for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. These were designed to serve as possible potential nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents free from gastrointestinal toxicity and sulphur sensitivity. The synthesized compounds exhibited useful analgesic activity but low anti-inflammatory activity. Few selected compounds were also screened for their antipyretic and ulcerogenic potential. The compounds showed no ulcer formation at the dose level of 100 mg/kg p.o. Aspirin was used as the standard nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent. Experimental results indicate that compound 5d holds promise to serve as a novel lead for designing better (less toxic) analgesic antipyretics.

Our search for new antibiotics led to the syntheses and biological evaluation of new classes of dicarboxylic acid analogues. The syntheses involve nucleophilic addition of different substituted benzylamine, aniline, alkylamine, and 4-hydroxyl-L-proline with carbamoylbenzoic acid. The results of the antimicrobial activity as indicated by the zone of inhibition (ZOI) showed that Z 10 is the most active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (32 mm) and least active against Candida stellatoidea (27 mm) and Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE) (27 mm), while Z 7 shows the least zone of inhibition (22 mm) against Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) . The minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) determination reveals that Z 10 inhibits the growth of tested microbes at a low concentration of 6.25 μ g/mL, while Z 9 and Z 12 inhibits the growth of most microbes at a concentration of 12.5 μ g/mL, recording the least MIC. The Minimum Bactericidal/Fungicidal Concentration (MBC/MFC) results revealed that Z 10 has the highest bactericidal/fungicidal effect on the test microbes, at a concentration of 12.5 μ g/mL, with the exception of Candida stellatoidea and Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE) with MBC/MFC of 25 μ g/mL. The result of this investigation reveals the potential of the target compounds ( Z 1 – 3 , 5 , 7 – 12 ) in the search for new antimicrobial agents.

Following induction of inflammation, the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in activated macrophages induces the transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and cyclooxygenase (COX), an inflammatory enzyme implicated in the synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs). The latter are involved in the transition and the maintenance of chronic inflammation underling various chronic disorders that require treatment. Concerning this, many anti-inflammatory drugs are available to treat the inflammatory disorders, but their therapeutic use is associated with a variety of side effects. Therefore, the discovery of new safer and potential anti-inflammatory drugs is necessary. In this regard, thiosemicarbazones (TSC) compounds and their metals complexes attracted high interest due to their wide range of biological activities, interestingly, the anti-inflammatory activity. They are formed by the action of thiosemicarbazide on an aldehyde or ketone, and contain a sulfur atom in place of the oxygen atom. Their ability to form a stable complex with transition metal is known to enhances the biological activity and reduces the side effects of the parent compound. Thus, this review article describes the inflammatory response mediated by NF-κB-COX-PGs and summarizes the anti-inflammatory activity of different thiosemicarbazones derivatives synthesized in research area.

A simple, efficient, and green procedure for the synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles via [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of nitriles with sodium azide is described. The reaction was catalyzed by natural and mesoporous alum nanoparticles (NPs) in DMSO at 140 °C. Alum NPs have been prepared as the new catalytic system by heating and calcination of mineral alum in a furnace. Alum NPs were characterized using FT-IR, BET, SEM-EDS, XRD, and TGA analysis. The results showed that alum, as an amorphous mineral and natural low-cost heterogeneous catalyst, provides 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles easily with high efficiency. Some of the advantages of this method are high yields of the desired product, short reaction times, the safe catalyst, prevention of using the toxic metal catalysts, readily accessible of the catalyst, and low-cost heterogeneous catalyst.

Synthesis of a series of nine compounds of the class indanone-3-acetic acid derivatives was undertaken with compounds containing indane ring moiety which itself is well known as a potential carrier for inducing biological activity in organic molecules. In fact, indane derivatives are known to have a wide spectrum of biological activity such as analgesic, antiinflammatory, monoamino oxidase inhibitory, antidepressant, antibacterial activity etc. In the present work, nine indanone-3-acetic acid derivatives were prepared in the laboratory by the steps: conversion of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzaldehyde to a bis(acetoacetate), hydrolysis of the bis(acetoacetate) to yield the corresponding β-phenylglutaric acid and cyclization to indanone-3-acetic acid. Condensation of different amines was effected via acid chloride formation by refluxation with thionyl chloride followed by treatment with appropriate amines for different optimum periods in benzene. Elemental analysis and IR, NMR data characterized the synthesized compounds. All the synthesized compounds were allowed to undergo antiinflammatory activity by carrageenan induced hind paw method. Some of the compounds showed appreciable activity.

An improved synthesis of 5-substituted tetrazoles has been devised. Alkyl- or arylnitriles and inorganic azides react readily in solvents such as dimethylformamide and diethyl sulfoxide. Relatively low reaction temperatures and short reaction times are effective, and the need for pressure equipment is eliminated. The effects caused by varying the solvent, the electronegativity of the substituent on the nitrile and the nature of the azide salt have been studied and a tentative mechanism for the reaction is advanced.
