Abstract

A series of substituted thiazole derivatives (6–16) were synthesized to obtain new compounds with potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. At equimolar oral doses, compounds 3-(piperidin-1-yl-methyl)-1, 3, 4-oxadiazol-2-thione (14), 5-amino-4-ethyl ester pyrazole (15), and 5-amino-3-phenylpyrazole derivatives (16) displayed anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities significant to those of diclofenac sodium in the carrageenan-induced paw edema test in rat and acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice,-respectively. The most active members of the series (9, 11, 14, 15, and 16) were selected for ulcerogenic potential study. These compounds exhibited quite less ulcerogenic index in the range of 0.44 to 0.62 whereas diclofenac sodium showed 4.67. The docking study results also indicated that the compound 6, 7, 8, 11, and 14 exhibited the docking score ranging from −3.951 to −4.691.
