- Synthesis, anti-convulsant activity and molecular docking study of novel thiazole pyridazinone hybrid analogues
-
Pyridazinone analogues have been known to be potential candidates for anticonvulsant agents. We have identified several pyridazinone-based anticonvulsant agents. As a continuation to our previous research, a series of hybrid pyridazinone-thiazole connected through amide linkage were designed and synthesized. Among these, compound SP-5F demonstrated significant anticonvulsant activity with median effective dose of 24.38 mg/kg (MES) and 88.23 mg/kg (scPTz). Results of GABA estimation showed a marked increase in the GABA level when compared with control. Molecular docking studies at the active site of GABA receptor, further confirmed the GABA modulatory effects of SP-5F.

- Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacological Screening of Pyridazinone Hybrids as Anticonvulsant Agents
-
A series of new hybrid benzimidazole containing pyridazinones derivatives were designed and synthesized in accordance with the pharmacophoric requirements essential for the anticonvulsant activity. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for anticonvulsant activity on mice by the gold standard maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ)-induced seizure models. Among the compounds tested, SS-4F showed significant anticonvulsant activity in both the screens with ED50 values of 25.10 and 85.33 mg/kg in the MES and scPTZ screens, respectively. Compound SS-4F emerged as safer and effective anticonvulsant due to its several-fold higher protective indices. Further, the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) estimation result showed a marked increase in the GABA level (1.7-fold) as compared to the control, which was further confirmed by good binding properties with the GABAA receptor.

- Structural optimization of 4-(2-chlorophenyl)-9-methyl-6H-thieno [3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepines as antagonists for platelet activating factor: Pharmacological contribution of substituents at the 2- and 6-positions of a condensed ring system
-
A series of 4-(2-chlorophenyl)-9-methyl-6H-thieno [3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine derivatives bearing substituents at the 2- and 6-positions were synthesized, and evaluated in vitro for their inhibitory activity on rabbit platelet aggregation induced by platelet activating factor (PAF) and in vivo for their preventing effect on PAF-induced mortality in mice. The length of alkyl or arylalkyl side chain at the 2-position was responsible for enhancing the affinity for the PAF receptor. The simultaneous substitution at both the 2- and 6-positions resulted in a successful separation of the affinity for the PAF receptor from that for the benzodiazepine (BZ) receptor. Thus, (±)-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-[2-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethyl]- 6,9-dimethyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4] diazepine (Y-24180) was confirmed to be a specific antagonist for the PAF receptor and is currently under clinical trials.

- Orally active inhibitors of stromelysin-1 (MMP-3)
-
Further development of N-carboxyalkyl dipeptide inhibitors of stromelysin-1 (MMP-3) led to the discovery of C-carboxyalkyl dipeptide analogs with improved oral bioavailability. An in vivo assay of human MMP-3 mediated degradation of a macromolecular substrate in an extravascular space is described and inhibition studies are reported.
