A novel series of 1-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-3-[5-(substituted aryl)-1,3,4-oxa- diazol-2-yl]propan-1-one was synthesized by reaction of 3-(4-phenoxybenzoyl)propionic acid with several aryl acid hydrazides in phosphorus oxychloride. The structures of the compounds were supported by IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, MS data and elemental analysis results. These compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation actions. A few compounds were found to have very good anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema test, while a fair number of the compounds showed significant analgesic activity in the acetic acid-induced writhing test. These new compounds showed very low ulcerogenic action with reduced malondialdehyde content (MDA), which is one of the by-products of lipid peroxidation.

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.

3-Arylidene-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2(3H)-furanones 2a-m were prepared from 3-(4-methyl-benzoyl)propanoic acid 1 and several aromatic aldehydes. Some of the selected furanones were reacted with ammonia gas and benzylamine to give corresponding 3-arylidene-1,3-dihydro-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2H-pyrrol- 2-ones 3a-h and 3-arylidene-1-benzyl-1,3-dihydro-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2H- -pyrrol-2-ones 4a-f, respectively, which were characterized on the basis of IR, 1H-NMR, mass spectral data and elemental analysis results. These compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities. The compounds, which showed significant anti-inflammatory activity, were further screened for their analgesic and ulcerogenic activities. Three new compounds (2e, 2h and 4d), out of twenty-seven showed very good anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenan induced rat paw edema test, with significant analgesic activity in the acetic acid induced writhing test together with negligible ulcerogenic action. The antibacterial activity is expressed as the corresponding MIC values.

A series of thiazolidin-4-one (2a-h, 3a-h), azetidin-2-one (4a- h) and 1,3,4-oxadiazole (5a-h) derivatives of isoninicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) were synthesized in order to obtain new compounds with potential anti-inflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation activities. The structures of the new compounds were supported by their IR, 1H-NMR and mass spectral data. All compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity by the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema test method. Eleven of the new compounds, out of 32, showed very good anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema test, with significant analgesic activity in the tail immersion method together with negligible ulcerogenic action. The compounds, which showed less ulcerogenic action, also showed reduced malondialdehyde content (MDA), which is one of the by-products of lipid peroxidation. The study showed that the compounds inhibited the induction of gastric mucosal lesions and it can be suggested from the results that their protective effects may be related to inhibition of lipid peroxidation in the gastric mucosa.

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.

Synthesis and evaluation of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation properties of ibuprofen derivatives In order to reduce the ulcerogenic effect of ibuprofen, its carboxylic group has been converted into 5-membered heterocyclic rings. Various 1,3,4-oxadiazoles (3-8, 16-21), 1,2,4-triazoles (22-27), 1,3,4-thiadiazoles (28-30), and 1,2,4-triazine (9) derivatives of ibuprofen were prepared by cyclization of 2-(4-i-butylphenyl) propionic acid hydrazide (2) and N1-[2-(4-i-butylphenyl) propionyl]-N4-alkyl/arylthiosemicarbazides (10-15) under various reaction conditions. The cyclized derivatives were screened for their anti-inflammatory activity by the carrageenan induced rat paw edema method and showed 50 to 86% inhibition, whereas the standard drug ibuprofen showed 92% inhibition at the same oral dose. Five compounds, 7, 16, 18, 22 and 30 that showed more than 80% anti-inflammatory activity were selected to study their analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation activities. All the tested compounds showed a significant reduction in ulcerogenic activity compared to ibuprofen through the severity index 0.5 to 0.8, vs. ibuprofen 1.8. The compounds, that showed less ulcerogenic effect also produced less malondialdehyde content in gastric mucosa, which is one of the end products of lipid peroxidation. The results of biological studies showed that oxadiazole derivative 16 as the lead molecule with maximum anti-inflammatory, analgesic and minimum ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation activities.

AbstractAccording to modern ethnobotanical records, the fruit of Hippophae rhamnoides is effective in the treatment of different allergic symptoms. In order to obtain pharmacological evidence for this observation, the fruit was investigated for anti-inflammatory activity using in vivo animal models. Aqueous and 70% MeOH extracts were tested in 48/80-induced rat paw edema assay after oral administration, and it was found that the 70% MeOH extract (500 mg/kg) reduced significantly edema volume (0.660 ± 0.082 mL vs. control 0.935 ± 0.041 mL). Extracts of different parts of the fruit (pulp, peel, seed) were investigated in the same assay, and the peel extract was shown to exhibit maximum edema-reducing effect (0.470 ± 0.124 mL vs. control 0.920 ± 0.111 mL). This extract was used to elucidate the mode of action. Different inflammation inducers (serotonin, histamine, dextran, bradykinin, and carrageenan) were applied in the rat paw model, but the extract inhibited only the compound 48/80 elicited inflammation. The active extract was then fractionated by solvent-solvent partitioning and chromatographic methods with the guidance of the 48/80-induced anti-inflammatory assay, and the main compounds responsible for the activity were identified as ursolic acid and oleanolic acid. Our data suggest that the activity is most probably based on a membrane stabilizing effect caused by the inhibition of degranulation of mast cells. Moreover, previously unknown 2,5-bis-aryl-3,4-dimethyltetrahydrofuran lignans, nectandrin B, fragransin A2, and saucernetindiol were isolated and identified from H. rhamnoides for the first time.

Chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers are prevalent throughout the world and are considered to be a global health problem. Modified Xiaochaihutang (MXCHT) prescription is broadly used in traditional medicine hospital for the treatment of gastritis. In order to assess the anti-Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) effect of MXCHT, agar diffusion method in vitro and fluid dilution method for the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) were established. The anti-inflammatory effects were then evaluated using mouse ear edema model and rat paw edema model. The ethanol-induced gastric ulcer method was employed to verify the gastroprotective effect of active extracts in MXCHT. HPLC-TOF-MS/MS was used for analyzing the possible active constituents after oral administration of effective extracts in ethanol-induced gastric ulcer models. MXCHT and 4 different extracts of the bacterial inhibition diameter and MIC were dramatically decreased compared with control group, showing anti-Helicobacter pylori effects. High dose groups of MXCHT, water extract, EtOAc extract, and n-BuOH extract displayed significant anti-inflammatory effects in xylene-induced mouse ear edema model and carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model test. MXCHT and all active extracts exhibited gastroprotective activity and prevented gastric lesions induced by ethanol in rats. 4 prototype components and 4 metabolites were identified after oral administration of EtOAc extract. In addition, 6 prototype components and 6 metabolites were identified in n-BuOH extract. MXCHT, EtOAc extract, and n-BuOH extract demonstrate gastroprotective effects through anti-Helicobacter pylori and anti-inflammatory activities. Thus, this prescription may be a suitable natural source for the prevention and treatment of chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers.

The present study was intended to evaluate Anti-inflammatory activity ofC. rottleriextracts (Hydroalcoholic, Methanol, Ethyl acetate and Hexane). The Anti-inflammatory activity ofC.rottleriextracts at doses of 125mg/kg, 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg using carrageenan induced rat paw edema model compared with standard drug (Indomethacin). The selected plant extracts significantly inhibited paw edema along with the standard drug Indomethacin. Of all extracts, methanol extract produced significant effect on reduction of increased paw thickness, hydro alcoholic and ethyl acetate extracts produced moderate percentage inhibition and hexane extract produced low level of percentage inhibition in reducing paw edema on carrageenan induced rats. In all extracts, methanol extract at a dose of 500mg/kg showed more percentage inhibition i.e . 53.47±2.19. From the results obtained during the study it is concluded thatC. rottlerihaving the bioactive molecule responsible for Anti-inflammatory activity by individually or by combination of different bio-active compounds present in it. Further is necessary for isolation and characterization of bioactive molecules which are responsible for the selected plant biological activities.
