Adamantane derivatives of thiazolyl-N-substituted amide, as possible non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents.

摘要

A series of adamantane derivatives of thiazolyl-N-substituted amides were synthesized in a three-step reaction and tested for anti-inflammatory activity as well as lipoxygenase and cycloxygenase inhibitory actions. Theoretical calculation of their lipophilicity, as ClogP was performed. The effect of the synthesized compounds on inflammation, using the carrageenin-induced mouse paw oedema model was studied and compared to indomethacin. In general, the studied compounds were found to be potent anti-inflammatory agents (29.6-81.5%). Anti-inflammatory activity was influenced by some structural characteristics of the synthesized compounds. The lipoxygenase inhibitory activity was tested by the conversion of sodium linoleate to 13-hydroperoxylinoleic acid. Low inhibitory activity was observed. Evaluation of COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory activities of the compounds revealed a COX-1 inhibitory potential, comparable to that of naproxen for some of the compounds and a low to moderate COX-2 inhibitory potential. Comparison of the in vivo and in vitro results leads to the conclusion that most compounds of this series may be involved in other mechanisms of inflammation, too.
