Novel sulindac derivatives: synthesis, characterisation, evaluation of antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, ulcerogenic and COX-2 inhibition activity

A new series of N′-(substituted phenyl)-2-(1-(4-(methylsulfinyl) benzylidene)?5-fluoro-2-methyl-1H-inden-3-yl) acetohydrazide derivatives (1–25) were prepared in good yields in an efficient manner. All the compounds were fully characterised by the elemental analysis and spectral data. Synthesised compounds were evaluated for antioxidant activity by DPPH method. Compounds 7 (R = 3-methoxyphenyl), 3 (R = 4-dimethylaminophenyl) and 23 (R = 2,4,5-trimethoxy phenyl) substitutions were found to be having highly potent antioxidant activity. Compound 3, with para dimethylaminophenyl substitution was found to be having highest antioxidant activity. It was further evaluated in vivo for various analgesic, anti-inflammatory, ulcerogenic and COX-2 inhibitory activity in different animal models. Lead compound 3 was found to be significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent. It was also evaluated for ulcerogenic activity and demonstrated significant ulcerogenic reduction activity in ethanol and indomethacin model. The LD50 of compound 3 was found to be 131 mg/kg. The animals treated with compound 3 prior to cisplatin treatment resulted in a significant reduction in COX-2 protein expression when compared to cisplatin-treated group. Sulindac derivative with para dimethylaminophenyl substitution was found to be the most potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent as well as with significant gastric sparing activity as compared to standard drug sulindac. Compound 3 significantly downregulated liver tissue COX‐2 gene expression.

Imidazotetrazines as Weighable Diazomethane Surrogates for Esterifications and Cyclopropanations

Diazomethane is one of the most versatile reagents in organic synthesis, but its utility is limited by its hazardous nature. Although alternative methods exist to perform the unique chemistry of diazomethane, these suffer from diminished reactivity and/or correspondingly harsher conditions. Herein, we describe the repurposing of imidazotetrazines (such as temozolomide, TMZ, the standard of care for glioblastoma) for use as synthetic precursors of alkyl diazonium reagents. TMZ was employed to conduct esterifications and metal-catalyzed cyclopropanations, and results show that methyl ester formation from a wide variety of substrates is especially efficient and operationally simple. TMZ is a commercially available solid that is non-explosive and non-toxic, and should find broad utility as a replacement for diazomethane.

Sulindac derivatives

The sulindac derivatives are compounds of the formula: wherein R is one of twenty-five substituted or unsubstituted phenyl substituents; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The sulindac derivatives are synthesized by refluxing sulindac hydrazid

A small diversity library of α-methyl amide analogs of sulindac for probing anticancer structure-activity relationships

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have a variety of potential indications that include management of pain and inflammation as well as chemoprevention and/or treatment of cancer. Furthermore, a specific form of ibuprofen, dexibuprofen or the S-(+) form, shows interesting neurological activities and has been proposed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In a continuation of our work probing the anticancer activity of small sulindac libraries, we have prepared and screened a small diversity library of α-methyl substituted sulindac amides in the profen class. Several compounds of this series displayed promising activity compared with a lead sulindac analog.

Mild Esterification of Carboxylic Acids via Continuous Flow Diazotization of Amines

A new continuous flow protocol for the diazotization of methylamine with 1,3-propanedinitrite in THF is reported. The synthesis of methyl esters was achieved in high yields from a variety of carboxylic acids in 20 min at 90 °C. Additionally, this protocol was extended to other aryl and alkyl amines, namely secondary amines, to produce various substituted esters in high yield using 2-MeTHF as a solvent. The reaction conditions were compatible with many functional groups, namely nitrogen-containing heterocycles, alkynes, alkenes, alcohols, and phenols. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the reaction appears to proceed through a transient diazonium species rather than a diazo intermediate.

Synthesis and activity of fluorinated derivatives of sulindac sulphide and sulindac sulphone

The synthesis of fluorinated derivatives of the sulphide and sulphone metabolites of sulindac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent with chemopreventative activity, is reported. The key step in the synthesis is a Pummerer-rearrangement of the parent su
