Design, synthesis and evaluation of diclofenac-antioxidant mutual prodrugs as safer NSAIDs

چکیده
Diclofenac has been conjugated with different antioxidants having antiulcerogenic activity with the objective of obtaining diclofenac-antioxidant mutual prodrugs as safer NSAIDs devoid of ulcerogenic side-effects. The synthesized derivatives are screened for their antiinflammatory, analgesic and antiulcer activity. The mutual prodrugs show retention of antiinflammatory activity with reduced ulcerogenic side-effects. These results indicate that diclofenac-antioxidant mutual prodrugs have the potential to be developed as safer NSAIDs.

In continuation of our efforts to discover novel nitric oxide-releasing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NO-NSAIDs) as potentially "Safe NSAIDs," we report herein the design, synthesis and evaluation of 21 new NO-NSAIDs of commonly used NSAIDs such as aspirin, diclofenac, naproxen, flurbiprofen, ketoprofen, sulindac, ibuprofen and indomethacin. These prodrugs have NO-releasing disulfide l...

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) commonly used for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases suffering from several undesired side effects, the most important being gastrointestinal (GI) irritation and ulceration. The pro-drug designing is one of the several strategies used to overcome this drawback. The rationale behind the prodrug concept is to achieve temporary blockade of...

The aim of the present study was to synthesize prodrugs of commonly used NSAIDs to overcome the gastrointestinal toxicity (irritation and bleeding) associated with their use. A total of six amide-based prodrugs (Ia-f) of aceclofenac, diclofenac, fenbufen, indomethacin, mefenamic acid and 4-biphenyl acetic acid were synthesized through one-pot method (single step synthesis). The structures of th...
متن کاملProdrugs of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), More Than Meets the Eye: A Critical Review
The design and the synthesis of prodrugs for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been given much attention by medicinal chemists, especially in the last decade. As a therapeutic group, NSAIDs are among the most widely used prescribed and over the counter (OTC) medications. The rich literature about potential NSAID prodrugs clearly shows a shift from alkyl, aryalkyl or aryl esters...
