Synthesis and biological evaluation of some new pyridazinone derivatives

摘要

A series of pyridazinone derivatives (19–34) were synthesized with an aim to synthesize safer anti-inflammatory agents. The compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation (LPO) actions. The percentage inhibition in edema at different time intervals indicated that compounds 20, 26, 28 and 34 exhibited good anti-inflammatory potential, comparable with that of ibuprofen (85.77%) within a range of 67.48–77.23%. The results illustrate that 5-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-1,6-dihydro-6-pyridazinone (26) and 5-(4-chloro-benzyl)-3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-1,6-dihydro-6-pyridazinone (20) showed best anti-inflammatory activity. Furthermore, activity is more in case of chloro substitution as compared with methyl-substitution. The compounds synthesized were also evaluated for their ulcerogenic and LPO action and showed superior gastrointestinal safety profile along with reduction in LPO as compared with that of the ibuprofen.
