ABSTRACT:

The compounds of different Pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized by cyclization of substituted chalcone derivatives in presence of hydrazine hydrate (a-e). All the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral analysis (IR, MS and NMR). The REMA (Resazurin Microtiter Assay) plate method was used for anti-tuberculosis activity. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the newly synthesized compound was tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV. The Analgesic activity was performed by Acetic acid induced method. The Anti-inflammatory activity was performed by Carrageenan induced paw edema method.

 

KEYWORDS: Chalcone, Hydrazine Hydrate, Pyrazoline derivatives, Characterization, Anti-tuberculosis activity.

 

 


INTRODUCTION:

Pyrazoline are compounds with noteworthy applications. Pyrazolines are well known and important nitrogen containing five membered heterocyclic compounds. Numerous pyrazoline derivatives have been found to possess considerable biological activities, which stimulated the research activity in this field. Pyrazoline and its derivatives are known to be biologically active compounds and substituted pyrazoles have shown wide range of biological activities like antioxidant, anti bacterial, antitubercular, antifungal, antiinflammatory, analgesic, antiartherosclerosis, antidepressant, anticonvulsant, antitumor, HMG-CoA reductase inhibition. Pyrazoline derivatives have been extensively studied during past several years because of their ready accessibility through synthesis, diverse chemical reactivity and broad spectrum of biological activities. In the view of these and our continuing interest in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. We undertook the synthesis of the title compounds and studied their antitubercular activity, Analgesic and Anti-inflammatory.

 

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Materials:

The melting points were taken in open capillary tube and are uncorrected. The IR spectra of the compounds were recorded on Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrum (Vmax in cm-1) with KBr pellets. The1H (400 MHz) spectra were recorded on a Bruker AV III 500MHz FT-NMR Spectrometer (with TMS as internal references). Mass Spectra were recorded in JOEL GCMAT-II GC-MS Spectrometer. The purity of the compounds was checked by Thin Layer Chromatography was checked by using silica gel-G coated plates using chloroform:methanol: water (6:2:2) and visualized in UV chamber. IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, Mass spectroscopy and were consistent with the assigned structures.

 

Synthetic methods:

Nicotinamide (0.1 M, 12.2 g) was refluxed with (0.1 M, 3.2 g) hydrazine hydrate in presence of 40ml of methanol at 100°-110 °C for six hours. After the reaction mixture was cooled, filtered, and the separated product was purified by recrystallization from ethanol to get a β-picolinoyl hydrazine. The β-picolinoyl hydrazine (0.1 M, 13.6 g) was dissolved in 5 ml of water and 5 ml of HCl. After it was cooled to 0-5 oC in ice salt bath, cold aq. solution of 6.9 ml sodium nitrite in 8 ml of water was added drop wise to the above solution, diazonium Salt so formed was filtered into cold mixture of 13.5 ml of ethyl aceto acetate and 4 g of Sodium acetate in 25 ml of ethanol. The resulting solid was filtered and washed with water and it was recrystallized from ethanol to get a 2-(β-picolinoylaminoazo)-ethyl aceto acetate. The 2-(β-picolinoylaminoazo)-ethyl aceto acetate (0.1 M, 27.8 g) was added in different aromatic aldehydes (a-e) in 20 ml of ethanol and add 4% sodium hydroxide Solution. The mixture was stirred for 24 hrs at room tempt. The contents were poured on crushed ice and neutralized with 10% Hcl. The product was filtered, dried and recrystallized from ethanol to get a 1-(β-picolinoylaminoazo)-3-benzylidene propan-2-one (3a-3e). The mixture of 1-(β-picolinoylaminoazo)-3-benzylidene propan-2-one (0.01 M, 13.4 g) and sodium hydroxide (0.025 M, 1 g) in 50 ml of ethanol, thiosemicarbazide (0.12 M, 10 g) was added. The mixture was refluxed for 8hrs. The products were poured into crushed ice and the solid mass which separated out was filtered, dried and recrystallized from ethanol to get substituted derivatives of pyrazole (4a-4e).

Anti-tubercular activity:

REMA(Resazurin microtiter assay) plate method:

The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the newly synthesized compound was tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV. The MIC was determined by the micro broth dilution method using Middlebrook 7H9 broth.  Serial dilutions such as 1.25 µg, 2.5 µg, 3.75 µg, 5 µg, 6.25 µg, 7.5 µg, 8.75 µg and 10 µg were prepared in DMSO. The           M. tuberculosis strain were inoculated in nutrient broth and incubated at 37 ºC for overnight.  After overnight incubation, the bacterial culture was swapped in solidified Middlebrook agar plate and made wells of 6mm diameter were punched in the plate. In each well the above test solution was added and 100 µml of   DMSO added in centre well.  The plates were incubated at 37 ºC for 24 hour. After incubation, the diameter of zone of inhibition around the wells were measured and recorded.

 

Analgesic activity:

Acetic acid induced writhing method:

 The activity was performed in vivo in Albino mice (25-30 gm) of either sex. Synthesized compounds (20 mg/kg) were administered orally. The Acetic acid solution (0.1 ml/10 gm) was administered intraperitonially, 30 min after administration of synthesized compounds. The number of writhing per animal was recorded. Analgesic activity was expressed as percentage of inhibition of number of writhings. The diclofenac Sodium (20 mg/kg) used as standard.

 

Results of percentage of Analgesic activity of synthesized compounds was calculated using following formula,

 

        No. of writhing for control – No. of writhing for test compounds 

%Analgesic Activity= --------------------------------------------------  ×100

                                   No. of writhing for control

 

Anti-inflammatory activity:

Carrageenan-Induced Paw Edema method:

The activity was performed in male rats (120-150 gm). The Synthesized compounds (30 mg/kg) were administered. The acute inflammation was produced by sub-planner administration of 0.1 ml of 1 % Carrageenan in hind paw of the rats. The thickness of paw was measured at regular time interval after Carrageenan injection. The indomethacin (100 mg/kg) used as an standard.

 

The percentage inhibition of edema was calculated by following formula,

Where,

Vt = mean relative change in paw volume in test group.

Vc= mean relative change in paw volume in control group.

CONCLUSION:

The present study was carried out to synthesize and to screen the newly developed compounds for its pharmacological activity. In this present work an attempt has been made to synthesize some new 3-(β-Picolinoylaminoazomethyl-5-aromatic substituted)-1-thioamide-2-pyrazoline derivatives and to study their anti-tubercular, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Both analytical and spectral data (IR, MS, 1HNMR) of all the synthesized compounds were in full agreement with the synthesied structure. All the synthesized compounds were screened for different biological activities such as antitubercular activity by REMA plate method, analgesic activity by acetic acid induced writhing in mice and anti-inflammatory activity by using carrageenan induced paw edema in rats.
