Abstract

A series of novel 2-(3-(2-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl) acetamido)-4-oxo-2-phenylthiazolidin-5-yl) acetic acid (5a-l) have been synthesized by cyclocondensation of N-substituted benzylidene/methylene-2-(1,3-dioxo isoindolin-2-yl) acetohydrazide (4a-l) with mercapto succinic acid in dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent and using anhydrous zinc chloride as a catalyst in microsynth microwave reactor. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using in vitro and in vivo model. Furthermore, ulcerogenic toxicity study was performed for selected compounds. All the compounds have shown promising anti-inflammatory activity in both the models. Docking studies were performed to know the binding affinity towards the human serum albumin (HSA).

Key words: Thiazolidinone, microwave assisted, anti-inflammatory, protein denaturation, rat paw edema, molecular docking.
