Abstract: The naphthyridinyl hydrazine derivatives as potent peripheral analgesic agents are (E)-2-(substituted benzylidene)-1-(2,7-dialkyl-1,8-naphthyridinyl) hydrazines that provide effective peripheral analgesic activity, as demonstrated using the mouse writhing test. The new target compounds include at least one compound that demonstrates higher potency in providing analgesic relief in mice (Protection (%)=81.44) compared to the reference drug acetyl salicylic acid (Protection (%)=78.47). These results demonstrated that the target compound exerts acute analgesic action, suggesting that it may represent an alternative in the development of new therapeutic strategies. Preferably, the (E)-2-(substituted benzylidene)-1-(2,7-dialkyl naphthyridinyl) hydrazine has the formula: wherein R1 and R2 are alkyl, R3 is hydrogen, and R4 is NO2.

Abstract: The glycyrrhetic acid derivatives can include: The glycyrrhetic acid derivatives can be used to treat inflammation and/or ulcers.

Abstract: The substituted naphthyridinyl hydrazine compounds as anti-liver cancer agents are anti-liver cancer agents that inhibit proliferative pathways of cancer cells, thereby exhibiting potent in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity. The compounds have the formula: wherein R1 and R2 each are selected independently from hydrogen, mercapto, and C1-C5-alkyl, preferably methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl or halogen; R3 and R4 each are selected independently from hydrogen, alkyl or halogen; and R5 is selected from substituted or unsubstituted aryl, more preferably from substituted phenyl, naphthyl, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, more preferably from furyl, pyrrolyl, thienyl, imidazolyl, thiadiazolyl, pyridinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, benzothiazolyl, oxadiazolyl or sugar moities. These agents exert their action through topoisomerase II inhibition.
