Abstract
A series of fifteen new substituted 1,2,4-triazoles (6a – 6o) have been synthesized in order to obtain new agents with potential anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activity. The title compounds were synthesized using 4-methylbenzoic acid as a starting reactant. The synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods (IR, 1H NMR, 13 C NMR, FAB+ − MS) and elemental analysis (nitrogen analysis). The title compounds were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity by the carrageenan induced paw edema method, and some compounds were evaluated for anti-nociceptive activity by the hot plate method and tail immersion method. Compounds N-[3-mercapto-5-(4-methylphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]-2-piperidin-1-ylacetamide (6f), 2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)-N-[3-mercapto-5-(4-methylphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]acetamide (6i) and N-[3-mercapto-5-(4-methylphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]-2-morpholin-4-ylacetamide (6 k) showed significant anti-inflammatory activity compared to other synthesized compounds, and N-[3-mercapto-5-(4-methylphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]-2-morpholin-4-ylacetamide (6 k) exhibited superior anti-nociceptive activity.
