Planejamento, síntese e avaliação farmacológica de derivados indano-hidrazônicos, candidatos a protótipos de fármacos anti-inflamatórios

Abstract

NSAIDs are an important class of drugs with therapeutic applications that have already been used by more than a century. The evolution of treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis has its mark from indomethacin, one of the representatives of traditional NSAIDS for later rise and more recently the disuse of inhibitors with high selectivity for PGHS-2. The effort to discover safer and more effective drug remains a challenge and the search for new anti-inflammatory agents and analgesics have led to the planning and the discovery of numerous active acyl and aryl-hydrazones. And there are several active ligands able to act on the arachidonic acid cascade results identified subunits acyl and aryl-hydrazones as important pharmacophore for inhibition of the inflammatory process. Despite the rationalization of the results and studies of structure-activity relationship in the biological profile of the subunits acyl and aryl-hydrazones, we could not yet identify because of the mechanism of action of such groups. Safrole, which is a allylbenzene wide distribution in the plant kingdom, has interesting physical and chemical properties for use as a starting product for the synthesis of new molecules designed and is widely used in research projects at the Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Medicinal Chemistry . This paper describes the design and synthesis of new indane-hydrazone candidates prototype antiinflammatory drugs. The synthetic route was planned in three stages, using reagents of low cost and relatively simple methods. The compounds obtained were planned and evaluated in order to observe the anti-inflammatory effect from preliminary tests (number of writhing induced by acetic acid) held in the Biomedical Institute of Universidade Federal Fluminense - UFF. It was possible to identify all congeners showed that inhibition was the most active of the series of synthesized molecules was derived (1c) and (1e) with 51.0% and 48.6% inhibition of writhing induced by acetic acid.
