Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of Cyclodextrin Conjugate Prodrug of Mefenamic acid
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present investigation mefenamic acid prodrug of ß-cyclodextrins was synthesized. The primary hydroxy group of ß-cyclodextrins was used to block the acid group. The synthesis involved a series of protection and deprotection reaction. The ester was evaluated for stability in simulated gastric and intestinal fluid. The hydrolysis of cyclodextrin conjugate in colon is confirmed by the hydrolysis kinetics studies in rat faecal material. The ester was also evaluated for ulcerogenicity. Results of these studies established the primary aim of masking the ulcerogenic potential of free drug, by using 12-fold dose of the normal dose of mefenamic acid and equivalent doses of the ester.

متن کاملSynthesis of a novel PEGylated colon-specific azo-based 4- aminosalicylic acid prodrug
Objective(s): 4-aminosalicylic acid (4-ASA) is an isomer of mesalazine that has recently been shown to be effective against inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and more specifically, ulcerative colitis. However, the majority of orally administered 4-ASA is readily and extensively absorbed from the stomach and small intestine, so only a small amount is transported to the ...
