Analgesic and anticonvulsant activities of some newly synthesized trisubstituted pyridine derivatives.

A series of novel pyridine carbohydrazide derivatives were synthesized from the reaction of 2-chloro-6-hydrazino-isonicotinic acid hydrazide with selected active reagents. All prepared compounds were tested as analgesic and anticonvulsant agents. The pharmacological screening showed that many of these compounds have good activities comparable to those of valdecoxib and carbamazepine as reference drugs.

Anti-arthritic and immunosuppressive activities of substituted triterpenoidal candidates.

We herein report the anti-arthritic and immunosuppressive activities of some synthesized substituted terpenoidal structure. Forty-four triterpenoid derivatives 1-21 containing a carboxylic, ester, amide and ketone groups attached to a triterpene moiety were conveniently synthesized and screened for their anti-arthritic and immunosuppressive activities. Synthetic triterpenoidal structures linked to a different function groups seem to be a promising approach in the search for novel leads for potent anti-arthritic and immunosuppressive agents. The detailed synthetic pathways of obtained compounds and anti-arthritic and immunosuppressive activities were reported.

Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticonvulsant and antiparkinsonian activities of some pyridine derivatives using 2,6-disubstituted isonicotinic acid hydrazides.

A series of novel thiazolo derivatives 2-15 was synthesized by initial condensation of 2,6-dihydroxyisonicotinohydrazide 1 and 2-chloro-6-hydrazinylisonicotinohydrazide 11 with different organic reagents. The pharmacological screening showed that many of these obtained compounds have good anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticonvulsant, and antiparkinsonian activities comparable to diclofenac potassium, Voltarene(®), Carbamazepine(®), and Benzotropene(®) as reference drugs. Initially the acute toxicity of the compounds was assayed via the determination of their LD50. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, MS spectral data and elemental analysis. The detailed synthesis, spectroscopic data, LD50 and pharmacological activities of the synthesized compounds were reported.

Synthesis, antiarrhythmic and anticoagulant activities of novel thiazolo derivatives from methyl 2-(thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl)acetate.

A series of novel thiazolo derivatives were synthesized by initial condensation of methyl 2-(thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl)acetate with phenyl isothiocyanate and further reactions using different organic reagents. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, EIMS spectral data and elemental analysis. Initially the acute toxicity of the compounds was assayed via the determination of their LD(50). All the compounds were screened for their antiarrhythmic and anticoagulant activities and they showed high antiarrhythmic activity compared with procaine amide and lidocaine as positive controls. The detailed synthesis, spectroscopic data, LD(50) and pharmacological activities of the synthesized compounds were reported.

New steroidal derivatives synthesized using 3beta-hydroxyandrosten-17-one as starting material.

In this study, we synthesized some new substituted steroidal derivatives using 3beta-hydroxyandrosten-17-one (dehydroepiandrosterone) as starting material. The synthesized steroidal derivatives 1-11 were evaluated for their androgenic-anabolic activities compared to testosterone as positive control. Details of the synthesis, spectroscopic data and toxicity (LD50) of synthesized compounds are reported.
