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.

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.

A novel series of N-phenyl anthranilic acid-based 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were prepared (4a–h) and subjected to anti-inflammatory, analgesic activity and molecular docking studies to target cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme. 1,3,4-Oxadiazole derivatives were screened for anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and analgesic activity by tail immersion method. In synthesized compounds, the free carboxylic group, which is responsible for gastric side effects, was derivatized by heterocyclic 1,3,4-oxadiazole bioactive core, which showed good interaction with COX-2 receptor with good docking score. Among all the synthesized compounds,4eand4fhave emerged out as potential COX-2 inhibitors.

Molecular docking studies was performed on 20 analogous novel quinazolin-4-one derivatives as cox-2 inhibitors using glide tool of maestro 11.4 application of Schrodinger software. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities were further evaluated for the compounds. Based on docking studies, the binding affinity of QZN-16 was found to be -10.32 kcal/mol. In order to understand the significance of R-substituents on the quinazoline-4-one nucleus, the findings of hydrogen bonding interactions between designated ligands with binding site region of 4cox were studied. The ligands which are having high docking score were subjected to pharmacological screening. The compound QZN-16 has shown analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity at a dose level of 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight, respectively when compared with standard drug indomethacin. The newly designed quinazoline-4-one derivatives may serve as lead molecules for further development.

: 5-(7-Methyl-2-propyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-yl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols(6a-i) have been synthesized from key intermediate 7-methyl-2-propyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-carbohydrazide(3). 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.

A novel synthesis of 2-hydroxy-N′-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene) benzohydrazide derivatives was synthesized by the condensation of 2-hydroxybenzohydrazide with substituted isatins. The synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and mass spectral data. Further, the compounds were screened for in vivo anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan induced paw edema method. The tested compounds have shown mild-to-moderate anti-inflammatory activity. The compounds VIIc and VIId exhibited 65% and 63% of paw edema reduction, respectively. The molecular docking studies were also carried out into the active site of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes (PDB ID: 3N8Y, 3LN1, resp.) using VLife MDS 4.3. The compounds VIIc, VIId, and VIIf exhibited good docking scores of −57.27, −62.02, and −58.18 onto the active site of COX-2 and least dock scores of −8.03, −9.17, and −8.94 on COX-1 enzymes and were comparable with standard COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib. A significant correlation was observed between the in silico and the in vivo studies. The anti-inflammatory and docking results highlight the fact that the synthesized compounds VIIc, VIId, and VIIf could be considered as possible hit as therapeutic agents.
