The synthesis, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of novel 5-hydroxy-7-methyl-3H-thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one derivatives were discussed. Fused thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones were synthesized and modified at the N3, C5 and C6 positions of the main core in order to obtain the compounds with a satisfactory pharmacological profile. The synthesized compounds were preselected via molecular docking for further testing of their anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. Evaluation of novel compounds over the carageenin induced rat paw edema revealed strong anti-inflammatory action of some compounds including (thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-3(2H)-yl) propanenitrile (5) and thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-3(2H)-yl) propanoic acid (6) even exceeding the standard – Ibuprofen. The antioxidant activity of the synthesized compounds was measured in vitro by the method of scavenging effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals.

Objective: Objective of the study was to synthesize and evaluate a series of novel compounds, ethyl 2-(2-cyano-3-(substituted phenyl)acrylamido)- 4,5-dimethylthiophene-3-carboxylates, for in vitro antioxidant and in vivo anti-inflammatory activities.Methods: Ethyl 2-(2-cyano-3-(substituted phenyl)acrylamido)-4,5-dimethylthiophene-3-carboxylates were synthesized by knoevenagel condensation of active methylene group of ethyl 2-(2-cyanoacetamido)-4,5-dimethylthiophene-3-carboxylate with substituted benzaldehydes. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antioxidant properties in three different models, viz., reduction of 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycrylhydrazyl free radical, scavenging of nitric oxide free radical, and ferric ion-induced lipid peroxidation using rat brain homogenate. Few selected compounds with good antioxidant properties were pharmacologically evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model.Results: Clean and efficient synthetic procedure was used for the preparation of series of compounds. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by infrared, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra. The antioxidant activity data revealed that the compounds of ethyl 2-(2-cyano-3-(substituted phenyl)acrylamido)-4,5-dimethylthiophene-3-carboxylate containing phenolic substitution showed greater antioxidant activity. Hence, the active compounds were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity and found to possess good activity. The percentage inhibition of rat paw edema obtained for the evaluated compounds was in the range of 70.2-83.1, comparable to the standard drug diclofenac (85.0%).Conclusion: The use of inexpensive, eco-friendly and readily available reagents, easy work-up and high purity of products makes the procedure a convenient and robust method for the synthesis of title compounds. The compounds of ethyl 2-(2-cyano-3-(substituted phenyl)acrylamido)-4,5- dimethylthiophene-3-carboxylate containing phenolic substitution showed greater antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Background: A new set of hybrid conjugates derived from 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propanoic acid (ibuprofen) is synthesized to overcome the drawbacks of the current non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Results & methodology: Synthesized conjugates were screened for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and ulcerogenic properties. Few conjugates were found to have significant anti-inflammatory properties in the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema test, while a fair number of conjugates showed promising peripheral analgesic activity in the acetic acid-induced writhing test as well as central analgesic properties in the in vivo hot plate technique. The newly synthesized conjugates did not display any ulcerogenic liability. Conclusion: In vitro, COX-1 and COX-2 enzyme inhibition studies raveled compound 7e is more selective toward COX-2 compared with ibuprofen.

Introduction: The transdermal route of administration has been extensively accepted as one of the potential route for the local and systemic delivery of drugs. The greatest obstacle in drug absorption is the highly organized stratum corneum (SC), which hinder drug transport. The probable solution leads to inclusion of penetration enhancers for reversibly disorganizing the barrier characteristic of stratum corneum. Objective: The main objective of the research work was to study the influence of peppermint oil, lemongrass oil, clove oil and turpentine oil as penetration enhancers on the percutaneous absorption of Meloxicam (ME) from a Carbopol 934 based gel formulation. Materials and Methods: ME gel sample was divided into 5 batches i.e., F1, F2, F3, F4, F5. Except F1, all other batches were incorporated with penetration enhancers (5% w/w) namely peppermint oil, clove oil, lemongrass oil and turpentine oil. The formulations were further evaluated for in-vitro drug release studies using a standard cellophane membrane at 37± 0.5˚ C in phosphate buffer pH 7.4 and a comparative anti-inflammatory activity was conducted using rat paw edema method. Result and Discussion: In-vitro permeation studies using a standard cellophane membrane showed that the rank order of enhancement ratio (ERflux) for Meloxicam as peppermint oil (1.414) > clove oil (1.353) > lemongrass oil (1.326) > turpentine oil (1.272) proving peppermint oil as the most competent penetration enhancer for Meloxicam. Further In- vivo anti-inflammatory activity were carried out using the standard rat paw edema method. The in vivo studies revealed that gel containing peppermint, clove, lemongrass and turpentine exhibited 2.53, 2.0, 1.9 and 1.38 times higher anti-inflammatory effect as compared to meloxicam (standard). Conclusion: It can be concluded from the study that all the 4 terpenes significantly increases the permeation of meloxicam gels and can be used as effective penetration enhancers.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of denatonium benzoate (DB) in histamine-induced model of inflammation and the effect of the selective H1 receptor agonist (2-(2-Pyridyl) ethylamine) on rat gastric smooth muscle strips pretreated with DB.Methods: The anti-inflammatory effect of DB was evaluated in vivo on histamine-induced rat paw edema. In vitro studies on spontaneous muscle contraction were performed on smooth muscle strips isolated from rat gastric corpus.Results: The results showed a well-defined anti-inflammatory effect of DB (15 mg/kg) during the early stage of rat paw edema at the 15th (p < 0.001), 30th (p < 0.01) and 60th min (p < 0.001) compared to control. In vitro experiments indicated reduced spontaneous contractile activity of smooth muscle strips to H1 receptor agonist in the presence of DB (0.5 μM). The vascular effects of histamine are mediated by H1 receptors. Substances, which reduce the effect of histamine on the H1 receptors could influence the early stage of histamine-induced inflammation.Conclusion: The results show that the anti-inflammatory activity of DB probably is related to its antagonistic activity on histamine H1 receptors. The results would contribute to the search for new antiinflammatory drugs. Keywords: Denatonium benzoate, Inflammation, Histamine, Muscle contraction

AbstractPlants belonging to the genus Salvia (Lamiaceae) are known to have a wide range of biological properties. In this work, extracts obtained from the aerial parts of Salvia sclareoides Brot. were evaluated to investigate their chemical composition, toxicity, bioactivity, and stability under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions. The composition of the supercritical fluid extract was determined by GC and GC-MS, while the identification of the infusion constituents was performed by HPLC-DAD and LC-MS. The in vitro cytotoxicity of both extracts (0-2 mg/mL) was evaluated in Caco-2 cell lines by the MTT assay. The anti-inflammatory and anticholinesterase activities were determined through the inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 and acetylcholinesterase enzymes, while β-carotene/linoleic acid bleaching test and the DPPH assays were used to evaluate the antioxidant activity. The infusion inhibited cyclooxygenase-1 (IC50 = 271.0 μg/mL), and acetylcholinesterase (IC50 = 487.7 μg/ mL) enzymes, also demonstrated significant antioxidant properties, as evaluated by the DPPH (IC50 = 10.4 μg/mL) and β-carotene/linoleic acid (IC50 = 30.0 μg/mL) assays. No remarkable alterations in the composition or in the bioactivities of the infusion were observed after in vitro digestion, which supports the potential of S. sclareoides as a source of bioactive ingredients with neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Objectives: 1,3,4-thiadiazole (A), 1,3,4-oxadiazole (B) and 1,2,4-triazole (C) derivatives have been known for their immense pharmacotherpaeutic potential. The current research article attempts to further explore and understand the probable biochemical mechanism related to anti-inflammatory activity of derivatives. Methods: The screened A, B and C derivatives were investigated for both in-vitro (Erythrocyte Membrane stabilization activity, Proteinase enzyme inhibitory activities) and in-vivo correlation using acute and chronic anti-inflammatory potential by carrageenan induced rats paw edema and cotton pellet granuloma methods respectively. The activity was studied after interpreting acute toxicity studies results. Results: In vitro studiesin the case of Erythrocyte Membrane stability and Proteinase enzyme inhibitory activities exhibited by A, B, and C at 100 ppm were found to be 48.89%, 51.08% and 50.08% and 66.78%, 76.91% and 57.41% respectively. The maximum toxic dose was found to be 2000 mg/kg. The derivatives were studied for two-dose levels viz; Lower (100 mg/kg) and higher dose (200 mg/kg). In rat paw edema maximum decrease was obtained for A (50.05%), B (50.05%) and C (51.06%) at lower and higher dose at 68.76%, 55.61%, and 65.26% respectively for effect up to 24 h. In the chronic model of cotton pelletgranuloma viz; higher and lower doses of A, B and C exhibited 38.15%, 33.19% and 30.25 % and 19.45%, 18.55% and 17.55 % respectively. Conclusion: The studied models depicted that derivatives A, B and C have the probable potential as anti-inflammatory agents. Further studies need to undertaken to explore their potential in the different therapeutic areas.

Background: Inducible nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) plays a key role in the progression of inflammatory diseases by accelerating the production of NO, which makes it an intriguing target to treat inflammation in complex diseases. Therefore, the search is on to develop molecules as selective iNOS inhibitors. Objective: The present work was aimed to design, synthesize and evaluate benzimidazole-coumarin coupled molecules as anti-iNOS agents through in silico and pharmacological studies. Methods: A critical study of literature reports on iNOS inhibitors led to the selection of a (un)substituted coumarin nucleus, 2-aminobenzimidazole, and a 4-atom linker as important structural components for iNOS inhibition. Two series of compounds (7-16 and 17-26) were designed and synthesized by coupling these components. The compounds were subjected to docking using iNOS (1QW4) and nNOS (1QW6) as targets. All compounds were evaluated for NO and iNOS inhibitory activities in vitro. The selected compound was finally evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity in vivo using the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model. Results : All compounds showed moderate to good inhibition of NO and iNOS in vitro. Compound 12 was the most potent inhibitor of NO and iNOS. Hence, it was evaluated in vivo for toxicity and anti-inflammatory activity. It was found to be safe in acute toxicity studies, and effective in reducing the rat paw edema significantly. Its anti-inflammatory behaviour was similar to that of aminoguanidine, which is a selective iNOS inhibitor. Conclusion: The newly synthesized benzimidazole-coumarin hybrids may serve as potential leads for the development of novel anti-iNOS agents.

Black cumin (Nigella sativa) is a widely used ingredient of traditional medicine for its broad-spectrum pharmacological actions, including anti-allergic, bronchial asthma, and anti-inflammatory properties. We sought to evaluate BC extracts' efficacy for their anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties using a comprehensive in vitro, in vivo, and silico experimental setup. To investigate whether BC extract has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and analgesic therapeutic potentials in vitro and in vivo. The activity of BC was assessed through anti-allergic activity on rat basophilic leukemia-2H3 cell line, anti-inflammatory activity on J774.1A cell line, anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan-induced rat paw edema, analgesic activity by acetic acid-induced writhing test, and ingenuity analysis of the BC extracts in inflammation control. BC exerted potent anti-allergic activity by inhibiting antigen-induced degranulation. An anti-inflammatory effect is shown by inhibiting TNF-α pro-duction. The acetic acid-induced writhing test shown a dose-dependent reduction of writhing number following BC administration. Rat paw edema test shown the dose-dependent reduction of paw edema volume following BC administration. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) suggested BC extracts containing ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, kaempferol, and quercetin can inhibit inflammation. This study suggests that bioactive compounds in BC extract act as an anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory agent by regulating several downstream and upstream inflammation pathways.
