Here derivatives of imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazines are attractive objects for organic and medicinal chemists. In the present work chemoselective conditions for oxidation of the sulfur atom in the 6-(2-pyridinyloxy)substituted (benzo)imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazines to the corresponding sulfoxides were proposed and their synthesis was performed. Synthesized sulfoxides exist in the diastereomeric mixture and individual diastereomers 2a-e and 3a-e were obtained using a chromatographic technique. The structure of compounds 2a-e and 3a-e were characterized using 1H, 13C NMR, LC-MS spectra, and X-ray analysis for derivative 2b. The anti-inflammatory activity screening in vivo was performed using the carrageenan model of inflammatory paw edema in white rats for all the diastereomeric mixtures and individual diastereomers. Diastereomer 2c possessed an anti-inflammatory effect with an inflammation inhibition index of 46.1% which was equal to the activity of the reference drug diclofenac sodium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
