Effect of 2,4-disubstituted thiazol-5yl-aminoketones on inflammation. In vitro and in vivo biological studies: a...

Some modified novel thiazol-5yl-aminoketones were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiproteolytic activities. Their inhibitory activity on 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) and beta-glucuronidase in vitro was estimated. Their interaction with the stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and their RM values were also determined. For two of them, the effect on zoxazolamine-induced paralysis after a prolonged treatment was determined. The duration of paralysis for the same compounds, (only one administration, one before zoxazolamine injection) was recorded too. The 2-amino substituted derivatives seem to be more potent in comparison with the 2-phenyl. The tested compounds were found to influence proteolysis but not the activities at beta-glucuronidase and 12-LO. Their interaction with DPPH was mild. Compound 2 seems to modify the activity of the hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes. In conclusion, their activity is related to certain structural characteristics.
