ABSTRACT:

Naproxen is well known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent that belongs to propionic acid analogs and has the non-selective inhibitory property for both COX1 and COX2, and its side effects belong to the non-selective inhibitory of COX1 in addition to the anti-inflammatory action via COX2 inhibitory. The study aimed to design and synthesize a new Schiff baseof benzaldehyde and thiozolidinone derivative with amino acids spacers like Phenylalanine analogs P4, and Histidine (H5). In silico, the study design was done via auto dock vina soft wave and visualized by UCSF chimera. All analogs showed higher scores of virtual interactions with better affinity to COX2 vs COX1 except the analog P4, which showed a lower score than that of COX1. The chemical synthesis was performed using the conventional synthetic methods of esterification of amino acids, the insertion of hydrazine hydrate to the amino acids esters to get hydrazide, the reaction of benzaldehyde or anisaldehyde with hydrazide to get Schiff base, the reaction of Schiff base with mercaptoacetic acid to get Thiozolidinone, and finally the amidation of Naproxen to get the final analogs, the structural specification and characterization was introduced by FTIR, 1HNMR and 13Cspectroscopy. The biological evaluation of the newly synthesized analogs was done through induction paw edema, calculating the decrease in paw thickness in comparison with negative control DMSO and positive control naproxen. These results showed that all analogs got better anti-inflammatory action thanNaproxen; the best result was for the analog P4, which showed more powerful anti-inflammatory action than the others with a significant p-value (0.008 as compared with Naproxen)

INTRODUCTION:

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most widely used drugs for the treatment of pain and inflammation in a variety of diseases. However, chronic treatment with NSAIDs has demonstrated some adverse effects like gastrointestinal and renal damage. The most serious complication associated with NSAID use is gastroenteropathy. Several strategies have been used to minimize NSAID gastrointestinal toxicity; the most successful one is the development of the new generation of anti-inflammatory drugs that are known as selective COX-2 inhibitors.

 

However, the long-term treatment of patients with COX-2 selective inhibitors is also associated with an increase of thrombotic risk and an increase in blood pressure in certain patients.

 

The discovery of new dual COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibitors may represent an opportunity for the design of safer anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. During the last years, the interest in the design of bi-functional anti-inflammatory drugs has increased.1,2. Inflammation and tissue damage are two of the diverse biological responses triggered by trauma signaling. The release of mediators causes the dilation of blood vessels, an increase in blood flow, alteration in the permeability of the capillaries, and a series of chemical changes inducing compression of the surrounding cells. It is known that the treatment of inflammation is important to control the signs and symptoms. Anti-inflammatory drugs are intended to treat both the symptoms and the natural course of the disease. Hence, the search for newly synthesized compounds has increased3. NSAIDs work on the cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX), which catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins and thromboxanes. An essential function of prostaglandins is to regulate physiological processes including pain, fever, immunity, and homeostasis.4,5.

 

Traditional NSAIDs can be further sub classified into carboxylic acid, enolic acids and non acidic compounds6. Two key distinctions exist between selective COX-2 inhibitors and conventional NSAIDs: Coxibs do not impair platelet function and are less likely to cause NSAID-induced gastropathy. As a result, compared to traditional NSAIDs, selective COX-2 inhibitors cause less clinically significant GI damage and bleeding7. These selective COX-2 inhibitors all have a core five- or six-membered heterocyclic or carbocyclic motif that is linked to two vicinal aryl rings. Celecoxib, rofecoxib, valdecoxib, and SC57666 are common examples of selective COX-2 inhibitors. These examples demonstrate that a wide range of five- or six-membered carbo or heterocycles can bind to the cyclooxygenase active site8,9. Compounds with azomethine (-NH-N=C-) moiety are called hydrazones9. The importance of hydrazones and their wide applications in different fields including the medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis arises from the presence of (N-N=C) unit in its structure. This unit has unique characteristics: two nucleophilic nitrogens (imine and amino) with lone pair of electrons, an electrophilic and nucleophilic character of imine carbon atom, configurational isomerism due to the presence of C=N double bond and an acidic N-H proton10. Hydrazone have many pharmacological activities11 like anti-inflammatoryanalgesic12 antiviral13 anticancer14 antibacterial15 anti platelet16,17.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:

ChemistryThe synthesis of compounds (P1-P4, and H1-H5) are outlined in the scheme (1), and involved the preparation of amino acid esters of [phenyl alanine, and histidine] by refluxing the suitable amino acids in absolute ethanol in the presence of conc. HCl as catalyst or by acylation of ethanol by acid halides which prepared by reaction of thionyl chloride with the amino acids of concern. Amino acid esters were refluxed with 80% hydrazine hydrate in absolute ethanol to give hydrazides for corresponding amino acid esters.

 

Synthesis of  (P4, and H3) was carried out by the conventional method which involved refluxing of ethanolic or methanolic solution or suspension of aromatic aldehydes with appropriate hydrazides like in an acidic medium to yield Schiffs bases (hydrazones). Stirring a mixture of appropriate Schiffs bases (hydrazones) and thioglycolic acid in 1,4-dioxane lead to formation of 1,3-thiazolidine-4-one.Amide bond formation was carried out by two methods; first involve synthesis of acid halide from Naproxen (dissolved in DCM) by reaction of it with thionyl chloride; which then refluxed with amine part of compound to prepare amide derivative.

Thin layer chromatography (TLC)Rf values of  the synthesized compounds which, after exposing the chromatograms to UV254 light, exhibited single round spots appeared in different positions from that of the starting materials, indicating the purity and the accomplishment of the reactions. Infra-red (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy:The IR spectra of the target compounds (P1-P4 and H1-H5) recorded characteristic bands in          cm-1. H1 showed aliphatic ester carbonyl stretching vibration at 1734cm-1, and C-O stretching vibration of aliphatic ester at 1165cm-1. H2 was hydrazinolysis product of H1 so that it was showed characteristic bands of hydrazide CONHNH2 groupwhich were NH2 asymmetric stretching vibration at 3252cm-1, NH amide stretching vibration at 3125cm-1, and shifting of carbonyl group from 1734cm-1 to 1633cm-1 due to amide formation. H5 characterized byappearance of two vibration bands 1726cm-1 and 1682cm-1 due carbonyl of cyclic amide and acylation of amine with acid halide. P2 was showed characteristic bands of hydrazide CONHNH2 groupwhich wereNH2 asymmetric stretching vibration at 3414cm-1, NH amide stretching vibration at 3317cm-1, and 1643cm-1 due to amide carbonyl group. P3 characterized by stretching vibration band at 1666 cm-1 due to formation of imine group (-C=N-)35-38.

 

1HNMR spectroscopy:

1HNMR of H5 was found to have 2Hs as doublet, doublet at 3.68 and 3.72 p.p.m. and one proton as singlet at 5.99 p.p.m that had attributed to thiozolidinone ring. 1HNMR of P3 was characterized by signals related to CONHNH2 protons at 9.18 p.p.m and 4.18 p.p.m., respectively both of them as singlet. 1HNMR of P4 was characterized by appearance of new protons related to CONHN which showed 2 signals due cis and trans isomers between 11.39-11.56 p.p.m and CONHN=CH which also showed 2 signals due to syn/anti-syn conformersbetween 7.95-8.08 p.p.m36-39.

 

In silico Study of the designed compounds:

The proteins crystal structures were obtained from protein data bank, the PDB code for COX1 was 3N8Z and for COX2 was 6BL3. All water, ions, and non-standard residues were deleted. The proteins structures were minimized by steepest descent method by 500 steps and then prepared for docking by addition of charges (AMBER ff14SB force field) and              hydrogens40-45. The MM2 force field was used to minimize and optimize the ligands. Autodock Vina was used to perform the docking process and the visualization was carried by UCSF chimera. 1 The box grid dimensions for COX-1 and COX-2 were as following.The calculated ∆G of Naproxen and its derivatives was shown below in the table 2, 3.

All compounds occupied roughly the same space within the COX-1 binding pocket (Figure 1). In contrast to COX-2, the compounds have become somewhat dispersed, particularly P4A and Naproxen (Figure 2). Regarding COX-1, all compounds accept H-bonds from arginine residues with the exception of Naproxen (which has no discernible tendency to form H-bonds) (Figure 4). Regarding COX-2, most of the compounds have made H-bonds with totally different residues. Because, it was unable to form H-bonds and pi-pi stacking, Naproxen was unable to target COX-1 with a binding activity that was comparable to that of novel compounds. Due to the abundance of VDW forces and the favorable conformation inside the pocket, P4A has shown the best binding energy score against COX-1. P4A has shown excellent binding affinity to COX-2. P4A has moved to a different environment close to the naproxen binding site, as shown in figure 2. Overall, all compounds have shown promising interactions with both enzymes43.46.

Anti-inflammatory evaluation:

Using the egg-white produced paw edema technique, the synthetic target compounds (P4 and H5) were assessed for their immediate anti-inflammatory properties in vivo.The newly synthesized compounds' anti-inflammatory efficacy is screened based on the reduction in paw thickness.34 24 albino rats of each sex, weighing 100±5g, were provided by a private animal house and kept at the animal house at Baghdad University's College of Pharmacy under controlled circumstances. The animals were given ad libitum access to commercial chaw. The animals were split up into the following four groups, each with six rats: Group A: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was administered to six rats as a vehicle and control group.

 

2ml/kg35. Group B: Six rats were treated with Naproxen as a reference substance in a dose of 10mg/kg21,36,37 dissolved in DMSO. Groups C: Six rats/groups treated with the tested compounds (P4 and H5) in doses that were determined below. (dissolved in DMSO)

 

Dose correction was done for both (P4 and H5) to be equivalent to that of Naproxen which used as a reference substance of dose 10mg/kg dissolved in DMSO. The intraperitoneal (i.p.) method was used to give the reference and tested compounds47–51.

 

Design of an experiment: Using the egg-Albumin model of edema, the anti-inflammatory efficacy of the examined substances was investigated. Following the intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of the freshly synthesized molecules or their vehicle (control), 0.1ml of undiluted egg-Albumin was SC-injected into the plantar side of the rats' left hind paw, causing an initial, fast swelling. Five time intervals (0, 30, 60, 90, and 120) were used to measure the thickness of the paws using a Vernier after the medicines or their vehicle (control) were administered intraperitoneally (i.p.), which was regarded as time zero.52-56 Here we can see the result by using ANOVA test, analysis of variance and also the p value as mentioned below in the table almost significant compared with the standard Naproxen see table 4.

CONCLUSION:

The biological evaluation of the newly synthesized analogs was done through induction paw edema, calculating the decrease in paw thickness in comparison with negative control DMSO and positive control naproxen. These results showed that all analogs got better anti-inflammatory action than Naproxen; the best result was for the analog P4, which showed more powerful anti-inflammatory action than the others with a significant p-value (0.008 as compared with Naproxen).
