Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of benzoxazole derivatives as new antiinflammatory agents

New series of methyl 2-(arylideneamino) benzoxazole -5-carboxylate derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of Schiff bases of methyl 2-aminobenzoxazole-5-carboxylate with appropriate aromatic aldehydes. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by means of IR, 1HNMR, mass spectral analysis. Further, the synthesized compounds (SH1-SH9) were screened for antiinflammatory activity by using Carrageenan – induced paw edema rat model. The results showed that, compounds SH1-SH3 and SH6-SH8 were significantly (p<0.0001) reduced the inflammation there by showed a promising antiinflammatory activity; where as the compound SH5 moderately reduced the inflammation. Only the two compounds i.e SH4 and SH9 showed very poor anti-inflammatory activity towards Carrageenan – induced paw edema rat.

Synthesis of Atenolol Impurities

Image
ABSTRACT: The aim of this research was to synthesis impurities of Atenolol viz. 2-(4-Hydroxy phenyl acetamide(Impurity A) , 2- [4-[[(2RS)oxiran-2-yl]methoxy]phenyl] acetamide (Impurity C) and 2-[4-[(2RS)-3-chloro-2-hydroxypropxy] phenyl]acetamide (Impurity D ) by very conventional method.

Effect of losartan potassium on the solubility of hydrochlorothiazide by solid dispersion technique

Image
ABSTRACT: The present study was carried out to study the feasibility of a novel drug-drug solid dispersion for improving the dissolution of poorly soluble drugs. Hydrochlorothiazide - losartan potassium, which is a fixed dose combination and used for treatment of hypertension was selected as a model for the study. Hydrochlorothiazide is poorly soluble and its absorption is dissolution rate limited. Losartan potassium is freely soluble and used to effect solid dispersion of hydrochlorothiazide. Solid dispersion of hydrochlorothiazide-losartan potassium (1:4) was prepared by solvent evaporation method and evaluated by FTIR, X-ray diffraction and DSC analyses and in-vitro dissolution characteristics. The data were compared with that of physical mixture of hydrochlorothiazide and losartan potassium and of pure hydrochlorothiazide. The results showed reduction in particle size, change from crystalline form to amorphous form and enhanced the dissolution rate of hydrochlorothiazide from s...
