Two of Mannich bases derivatives of 4'-methoxy-substituted of asymmetrical cyclovalone analog (ACA) (2a and 2b) were synthesized. The synthesized compounds and the other two Mannich bases derivatives of 4'methoxy-substituted ACA (2c and 2d) were evaluated for their in-vitro antiinflammatory activity preliminary by protein denaturation inhibition method using a final concentration of 1.57 μM. The study found that all the Mannich bases exhibited anti-inflammatory potential with inhibition ranging from 33.17-42.47%. The activity of 2b (42,47%) and 2d (41.90%) was higher than that of diclofenac sodium (35.27%) and the parent compound 1 (38.16%). As a conclusion, 2b and 2d have a prospect as a potential candidate for an anti-inflammatory agent. Further study should be done using more specific methods.
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.
