Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 3, 8-dimethyl-5-isopropylazulene Derivatives as Anti-gastric Ulcer Agent

摘要

Recent studies showed that Guaiazulene (GA) and Sodium guaiazulene sulfonate (GAS-Na) have good anti-gastric ulcer effect. Here, two series of GA derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-gastric ulcer activity. The data obtained from in vivo testing of these compounds in a rodent ethanol-induced stomach injury model are discussed. Among the tested compounds, A1, A4, and A9 (ulcer index: 1.125 +/- 1.246**, 1.714 +/- 0.756*, 1.875 +/- 1.126*) exhibited better anti-gastric ulcer activity than the positive control Omeprazole (2.005 +/- 1.011*). The information got from these studies and the results of 3D-SAR investigation may be useful in the design of novel anti-gastric ulcer agents.
