Abstract
Series of 2-[4-(2,4-dimethoxy-benzoyl)-phenoxy]-1-[4-(3-piperidin-4-yl-propyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-ethanone derivatives 9(a-d) and 10(a-d) were synthesized in good yield. The synthesized compounds were characterized by (1)H NMR, LC-MS, FTIR and elemental analysis. All the compounds were screened for in vivo wound-healing activity by incision and dead space wound models on Swiss albino rats. Significant wound healing was observed in 10b and 10d treated groups as also the epithelialization of the incision wound was faster with a high rate of wound contraction in these groups. The tensile strength of the incision wound was significantly increased in 10b and 10d compared to the Nitrofurazone, the standard skin ointment. In dead space wound model also the weight of the granulation was higher indicating increase in collagenation. The SAR correlation studies revealed that the thioamide functional linkage and electron withdrawing groups influence the wound-healing activity.
