Synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular docking studies of N -(α-acetamido cinnamoyl) aryl hydrazone derivatives as antiinflammatory and analgesic agents

Abstract: A series of acyl hydrazone derivatives were synthesized and screened for antiinflammatory and analgesic activities. The N-acylarylhydrazone compounds described herein were designed by combining the pharmacophoric features of hydrazones and styryl ketones in order to identify the pharmacophoric contribution of the N-acylarylhydrazone moiety and to study the structure–activity relationships. In carrageenan-induced paw edema test, N′-(4-hydroxy benzylidene)-2-acetamido-3-phenyl propenohydrazide (6j) reduced edema by 74 % which is comparable to the standard reference drug, phenylbutazone at equidose. N′-(4-methoxy benzylidene)-2-acetamido-3-phenyl propenohydrazide (6g) showed analgesic activity (68 %) which is equipotent to the standard drug, aspirin (64 %). Molecular docking studies further confirmed that 6j showed better binding affinity with COX-2 and LOX-5 with reduced gastric ulcerogenic effect when compared to phenylbutazone.

Synthesis of some new diaryl and triaryl hydrazone derivatives as possible estrogen receptor modulators.

Abstract: l,2-Bis(4-substituted phenyl)-2-methyl ethanone (2,4-dlnitrophenyl)hydrazones and 1-naphthyl-1-(4-substituted phenyl)-methanone (2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazones have been synthesized and evaluated for their anti-implantation, uterotrophic, antiuterotrophic, anticancer and antimicrobial activities. Diphenolic hy-drazone (compound 6) showed maximum uterotrophic inhibition of 70 %, whereas compound 20 exhibited cytotoxicity in the range of 50–70 % against MCF-7 and ZR-75-1 human malignant breast cell lines.

A modified cyclen azaxanthone ligand as a new fluorescent probe for Zn2

Abstract: A new cyclen derivative L, bearing a methyl-chromeno-pyridinylidene hydrazone moiety, was synthesized and studied in MeOH, as potential fluorescent “OFF-on-ON” sensors for Zn(II). Photophysical properties of this ligand being PET regulated, L was only weakly emissive in the absence of metal ions (OFF). L fluorescence was increased modestly upon addition of one equivalent of Zn(II), and further increased upon addition of a second equivalent. Therefore, Zn : L behaved as a highly sensitive ON sensor for zinc. This efficiency was correlated to Zn(II) coordination via the hydrazone moiety of the fluorophore, producing an efficient CHelation-Enhanced Fluorescence (CHEF) effect. A complementary theoretical study carried out with DFT calculations further elucidated the optical properties.
