SYNTHESIS AND DOCKING STUDIES OF 2-(NITROOXY) ETHYL-4-(2-(SUBSTITUTED PHENYL)-4-(SUBSTITUTE DPHENYL)-1H-IMIDAZOL-1-YL) BENZOATE AS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANALGESIC AND NITRIC OXIDE RELEASING AGENTS
Keywords:
Imidazole, Docking, Anti-inflammatory, Analgesic, Nitric oxideAbstract
Objective: The objective of the present study was to develop potent and non toxic Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) by using heterocyclic nuclei and having Nitric Oxide releasing group.
Methods: The compounds were designed with the help of docking studies. In the synthetic study, the target compounds were obtained by reacting substituted diphenyl imidazole benzoic acid (2a-2x) with nitro-oxy alkyl bromide in the presence of dimethyl formamide and potassium carbonate to give substituted 2,4-diphenyl nitric oxide releasing imidazole derivatives (3a-3x). The synthesized compounds were characterized with the help of different analytical studies and further evaluated for anti-inflammatory, analgesic and nitric oxide releasing activity.
Results: In the docking study compounds 3a, 3b, 3c, 3e, 3r and 3s showed significant G-score. In the anti-inflammatory and analgesic study compounds 3a, 3b, 3c, 3e, 3r and 3s exhibited promising activity. All the synthesized compounds exhibited significant nitric oxide releasing properties both in-vitro and in-vivo.
Conclusion: Compounds 3a, 3b, 3c, 3e, 3r and 3s exhibited prominent anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity.
