SYNTHESIS AND PHARMACOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF SOME NOVEL DIARYL IMIDAZOLES AS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS
Dushyanth Reddy Vennapu and Palled M. S.*
Abstract
The synthesis and pharmacological activity of a new series of
diarylimidazoles as potent selective COX–2 inhibitor were described.
QSAR based approach to screen molecules using Schrodinger Maestro
program to optimize the lead compounds against the murine
cyclooxygenase receptor. The best fit ligand molecules based on the
dock score were synthesized characterized and evaluated for their invivo
anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan induced paw
oedema.
Keywords: 1, 5 - diarylimidazoles, selective COX – 2 inhibitor, carrageenan induce paw oedema.
