A new series of benzimidazothiazole derivatives has been synthesized. The structure of the products was confirmed by spectroscopic techniques such as IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy. The tested compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity either in vitro through the COX enzyme inhibition assay, or in vivo through carrageenan paw edema technique. Results revealed that compound 25 and 29 represented the most active ones among the entire series with % inhibition 72.19, 72.07 for COX-1, and 87.46, 87.38 for COX-2, respectively. Interestingly, all synthesized compounds exhibited IC values less than both reference drugs celecoxib and naproxen, indicating their superior potency. For compound 25, it showed about 340 and 198 times more potent than celecoxib and naproxen respectively as COX-1 inhibitor (IC value 0.044 vs. 15.000 and 8.700 µM), and 10 and 115 times more potent than the same drugs as COX-2 inhibitor (IC value 4.52 vs. 40.00 and 520.00 nM). The antitumor activity of the products was also evaluated and the results obtained are consistent with those obtained by the anti-inflammatory screening where compounds 25 and 29 proved to be the most active ones among the other compounds with %GI ranging from 31.5 to 62.5% and they exhibited the lowest IC values as well. The ADMET analysis of the tested compounds was also performed in addition to the molecular modeling studies that included flexible alignment, surface and electrostatic maps in addition to the Lipinisk's rule of five.
已经合成了一系列新的苯并咪唑噻唑衍生物。通过光谱技术,如红外、核磁和质谱,确认了产物的结构。通过 COX 酶抑制试验,在体外或通过角叉菜胶足肿胀技术,在体内评估了测试化合物的抗炎活性。结果表明,化合物 25 和 29 在整个系列中表现出最强的活性,对 COX-1 的抑制率分别为 72.19%和 72.07%,对 COX-2 的抑制率分别为 87.46%和 87.38%。有趣的是,所有合成的化合物的 IC 值均小于参考药物塞来昔布和萘普生,表明它们的效力更高。对于化合物 25,它作为 COX-1 抑制剂的效力分别比塞来昔布和萘普生高约 340 倍和 198 倍(IC 值为 0.044 对 15.000 和 8.700 µM),作为 COX-2 抑制剂的效力分别比这两种药物高 10 倍和 115 倍(IC 值为 4.52 对 40.00 和 520.00 nM)。还评估了产物的抗肿瘤活性,所得结果与抗炎筛选结果一致,其中化合物 25 和 29 在其他化合物中表现出最强的活性,GI%范围为 31.5%至 62.5%,它们也表现出最低的 IC 值。除了进行分子建模研究,包括柔性对准、表面和静电图以及 Lipinisk 的五规则外,还对测试化合物进行了 ADMET 分析。
