Abstract

The invention deals with the derivate of benzelidine having basic formula as follows (I): 1

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The invention relates to benzilidine derivatives, more particular to the synthesis of benzilidine cyclohexanone, benzilidine pentanone, and benzilidine acetone, that showed pharmacological activity as bactericides, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammation

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The invention was initiated by the fact that curcumin with the following formula (II) was widely used for medication as anti-inflammation, anti-bacteria, anti-oxidant, anti-hepatotoxic, hypocholesterolaemia, anti-cyclooxygenase, anti-cancer, and radical scavanger. However, it was reported that curcumin was unstable in an alkali solution (pH>6.5). 2

[0003] In the mean time the use of aminophyrin as an anti-inflammatory was reported unsave as this compound could produce nitrosamine known as carcinogen. Another pyrazolone derivate (dipyron) was also known to give adverse side effects such as agranulocytosis and allergic reaction. Similar side effects were also indicated by pyrazolone derivates (phenazone, oxyphenbutazone, phenylbutazone, etc).

[0004] Pharmacological and toxicological profile of phenylbutazone and its derivates can be illustrated below (J. Phar. Pharmacol., 1955, 7, 1002). 1 3 Structure of pyrazolone derivates Antiinflammation Acut toxicity (rat), LD 50 g/kg activity Intra Substituent (3 × 50 mg/kg) Oral Subcutan peritoneal R = n-buthyl +++ 0.73 0.23 0.23 R = Y = phenyl (Phenylbutazon) R = allyl/propyl +++ ∞ X = Y = phenyl R = n-buthyl +++ Toxicity R = Y = p-CH3—C6H4 decrease R = n-buthyl + 8 8 8 R = Y = p-COOH—C6H4 R = n-buthyl + — — — X = H, Y = phenyl R = n-buthyl X = Y = (3-OH, 4 carboxy)phenyl Cyclopentanone

[0005] On the basic the above information a research group at the faculty of Pharmacy GXU focused their study using curcumin as lead compound in the order to obtain a potent anti-inflammatory agent which are more stable than curcumin and less toxic compared that of pyrazolone derivates.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The discovery deals with new compound derivates which have general structure: 4

[0015] wherein X can be a six-ring alkane derivates, a five-ring with one carbonyl group, or aliphatic group such as acetone; Y and Z can be various different groups: methyl, ethyl, isoprophyl, tertiary butyl, hydroxy, chloro, trifluoro methyl and dimethylamine.

[0016] The nominating groups were those with medium steric factor, positive resonance, and negative induction Several with strong negative induction- Also, the most suitable bis-form is considered.

[0017] Chemical structure (I) may be prepared by aldol condensation between structures (II) and (III): 5

[0018] For structure II, n=0-3.

[0019] Reaction between (II) and (III) was conducted using common procedures in chemical synthesis, namely aldol condensation, with or without organic solvents. Generally the reaction utilizes suitable organic solvents such as THF or sometimes alcohol. It may be beneficial to add an acid or an alkaline (HCl or NaOH) to the mixture to accelerate the reaction time.

[0020] Temperature and length of reaction are a key factor to the reaction. Temperature between 0-50° C. is considered the most suitable.

[0021] A good reaction procedure was done refluxing two reactants for several hours, and yield was left for several days. The reaction may be explained as follows: 6

[0022] Methods of isolation and purification of the reaction yield were done by washing and recrystallization before elucidation of chemical structure by IR Spectrometer, NMR and Mass Spectrometer. Compounds with chemical structure (I) were recognized as those which are active as anti-oxidants, and pharmacologically active against inflammation, bacteria and fungi such as C. albicans, S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and B. subtilis. The structure (I) has been observed to have a strong anti-inflammatory action as explained from the following finding:

[0023] Anti Inflammatory Activity Test (Winter, 1962)

[0024] Carragenin was used as an inflammatory agent. The volum inhibition of rat paw edema following peroral administration of various doses of the sysnthetic compounds in it CMC in comparison to that of control was used to determine the activity of the compounds. In order to evaluate the anti-inflammatory of each compound. Wistar rats (body weight ranging from 200-250 g) were used and divided randomly into 5 groups: one group served as or control and 4 groups were treatment groups. The control group received the vehicle CMC; (Carboxy Methyl cellulose 2%), while the treatment groups received the synthetic compound per orally in CMC 1%. Doses of 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg bw were given to the animals. Where one hour later the animals received a subplantar injection of 0.05 ml of carragenin suspension in saline solution (NaCl 0.9%). The volumes of rat paw edema were measured immediately and every half an hour following the subplantar injection for 5 hours. 2 ANTI INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY HEXAGAMAVUNONE (HGV) Molecule R1 R2 R3 ED 50 mg/kg.bb HGV-1 CH3 OH CH3 41 HGV-2 C2H5 OH C2H5 20 HGV-5 OCH3 OH OCH3 222 HGV-6 Cl OH Cl 25

[0027] Anti Oxidation Test (Haenen and Bast, 1983)

[0028] Anti oxidative activity (lipid peroxidation) was determined by measuring the reactive form of thiobarbituric acid, i.e. malondialdehyde. The synthetic compound with final concentration of 0.5; 1.0; 2.0; 4.0 microM was put into glass tubes. Solution of tris-HCl/KCl (50 microM/150 microM, pH 7.4), vitamin C (0.5 ml 200 microM) and microsome (final concentration of 2 mg protein/ml). The mixture was pre-incubated at 37° C. for 5 minutes. Lipid peroxidation was initiated with the addition of ferro sulphate (0.5 ml, 10 microM) and incubated at 37° C. for 5 minutes, the reaction was stopped by addition of aliquot (0.3 ml) to the mixture of TCA, TBA, and BHT (2 ml) in cold. After heating (80° C.) for 15 minutes and centrifugation (15 minutes), absorbance was read at 535 nm. 5 Molecule R1 R2 R3 IC 50 (microM) HGV-1 CH3 OH CH3 2.46 HGV-2 C2H5 OH C2H5 1.97 HGV-5 OCH3 OH OCH3 1.7 HGV-6 Cl OH Cl — PGV-1 CH3 OH CH3 2.20 PGV-2 C2H5 OH C2H5 2.21 PGV-5 OCH3 OH OCH3 0.99 PGV-6 Cl OH Cl 14.89  PGV-0 OCH3 OH OCH3 6.4 GVT-6 Cl OH Cl —
