Master Title

Design and Synthesis of New Pyrazole Derivatives of Potential Anti-inflammatory Activity

Master Abstract

ABSTRACT Everyday scientific researches reveal the increasing significance of discovering newly anti-inflammatory agents with elevated safety margins to control cellular inflammatory response. The present work shows design and synthesis of several trisubstituted pyrazole derivatives VIIa-h, VIIIa-f, XIIa,b, XIIIa,b and XIVa-d. 4-Methanesulfonylphenylhydrazine hydrochloride III reacted with the appropriate acetophenone IVa,b to produce phenylhydrazine derivatives Va,b. Then, the formed compounds Va,b underwent Vilsmeier-Haack reaction to form carbaldehyde derivatives VIa,b which were considered as key intermediates for the preparation of compounds VIIa-h and VIIIa-f via reaction with the appropriate amine or ketone, respectively. Furthermore, oxidation of the carbaldehydes VIa,b afforded the corresponding carboxylic acids IXa,b which upon esterification followed by reaction with hydrazine hydrate produced compounds Xa,b and XIa,b, respectively. 4-Carbohydrazide derivatives XIa,b were used as second key intermediates for the synthesis of compounds XIIa,b, XIIIa,b and XIVa-d through reactions with CS2/KOH, ethyl acetoacetate or the appropriate aldehyde, respectively. Chemical structures of the newly synthesized compounds were characterized using spectral and elemental analyses. The prepared compounds were evaluated for their in vitro (SI range = 20.67 – 348.71) and in vivo (% edema inhibition range after 3 hours = 29.77 – 85.21) activities compared to the reference standard, celecoxib (SI = 308.163 and % edema inhibition after 3 hours = 74.02) with calculation of ED50 values. Also, ulcerogenic liability of the most active compounds VIId,f, VIIIb,e,f, XIIb, XIIIb and XIVb,d was evaluated. Finally, docking studies were performed for the most active compounds to determine their binding mode in the active site of the enzyme.

PHD Title

newer and safer agents to control cellular inflammatory response

PHD Abstract

In the present work, design and synthesis of several substituted diazepinoindolizines Xa-c and XIIa-c, diazepinopyrrolizines XIa-c, pyrrolizines XIIIa-c and XVa-c, indolizines XIVa-c and XVIa-c, pyrimidopyrrolizines XVIIa-c and pyrimidoindolizine XVIII were discussed. Reaction of the starting materials Va-c and VIa-c with chloroacetyl chloride, afforded the 2-chloroacetamido derivatives VIIa-c and VIIIa-c, which undergo intramolecular cyclization into diazepino [5,6-b]pyrrolizines IXa-c and diazepino[5,6-b]indolizines Xa-c which were alkylated with ethyl chloroacetate to give ethyl acetate derivatives XIa-c and XIIa-c. Reaction of 2-chloroacetamido derivatives VIIa-c and VIIIa-c with piperidine gave the 2-(piperidin-1-yl)acetamido derivatives XIIIa-c and XIVa-c. The target compounds XVa-c, XVIa-c, XVIIa-c and XVIII were obtained from the reaction of compounds Va-c and VIa-c with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and triethyl orthoacetate. The rational for these compounds was discussed. Characterization of the chemical structure of the new compounds was done using spectral and elemental analyses.
