Item New dihydropyridine derivatives: Anti-inflammatory, analgesic and docking studies(2013) Ulloora, S.; Kumar, S.; Shabaraya, R.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.The present article describes synthesis of new diethyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-(4- (2-substituted amino-2-oxoethoxy) phenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylates (6a-10b) following multistep synthetic route. Structures of newly synthesized intermediates and title compounds were established by spectral and elemental analyses. The final compounds were screened for their in vivo anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities by carrageenan-induced paw oedema and tail immersion methods, respectively. Moreover, molecular docking studies were carried out for active compounds 6c, 6d, 7d, 8 and 10b to study their mode of action, meanwhile in vivo results indicated that these compounds displayed rapid onset of anti-inflammatory action and exhibited prominent activity when compared with the standard drug. Compounds 6d and 7d carrying amide functionality showed the highest anti-inflammatory as well as analgesic activities. The molecular docking results emphasised the in vivo data and all docked molecules were found to display very low binding constant values in nanomolar scale. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.Item New 6-bromoimidazo[1,2-A]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide derivatives: Synthesis and anticonvulsant studies(Birkhauser Boston, 2014) Ulloora, S.; Shabaraya, R.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.In the present work, we report the facile synthesis and anticonvulsant study of new imidazo[1,2-A]pyridines carrying biologically active hydrazone functionality (3a-3e) and suitably substituted 1,2,4-triazole moieties (4, 5a-5d, 6, and 7a-7d). The newly synthesized intermediates and final compounds were characterized by various spectral techniques such as FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectral and elemental analysis studies. The in vivo anticonvulsant study of the target compounds were carried out following maximal electroshock seizure and subcutaneous pentylene tetrazole methods, while their toxicity study was performed following rotarod method by taking 20, 40, and 100 mg/kg dose levels. Most of the new compounds displayed remarkable anticonvulsant properties at these doses. Particularly, compounds 3b and 4 carrying hydrogen bond donor groups, viz. hydroxyl and amine moieties respectively, exhibited complete protection against seizure and their results are comparable to that of standard drug diazepam. Further, the motor impairment study revealed that all the compounds are nontoxic upto 100 mg/kg. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
