Hydrazones and formazans with possible biological activity.

This paper presents a synthesis about some hydrazones, formazans and copper's complexes combinations. The structure of the new compounds was confirmed by the results of the quantitative elementary and IR spectral analysis. The antimicrobial and antiinflammatory activities were investigated.

[The reaction of 3-(R-phenyl)-6-hydrazine pyridazines with substituted isatins (II)].

This paper presents the synthesis of six hydrazones from isatin and 1-morpholinomethyl-isatin and also of their six cooper's complex salts. Their structure was confirmed by the results of the quantitative elemental analysis and by IR, UV-VIS spectral analysis. The biological tests point out that cooper's complex salt of 3-(3'-phenyl-pyridazinylhydrazono)-5-methyl-indoline-2-one (1:2) (VI a) has the smallest toxicity (DMT over 800 mg/kg.w. p.o.), a remarkable anti-inflammatory activity (inhibition 57.1%, IAR 1.1) and also a gastroprotector coefficient of 43.3%. In the mean time, the cooper's complex salt of 3-(3'-p-anisyl-pyridazinyl-hydrazono)-5-methyl-ind oline-2-one (1:2) (VI b) has a gastroprotector coefficient of 76.3% and a lower anti-inflammatory activity than the first derivative (inhibition 36.9%).

[New isatin-derived hydrazones and Mannich bases with possible biological activity].

The paper presents a synthesis of six new Mannich bases, five hydrazones derived from 1-piperidino-methyl-5-R-isatin and three copper complex compounds of 3-(3'-R-phenyl-pyridazinil-hydrazone)-indoline-2-ones (R=H, CH3, OCH3). The structure of the new compounds was confirmed by the results of the elementary and spectral analysis. Pharmacodynamic studies indicated that copper complex compounds present effective biological properties. Thus, it can be seen that the experimental carrageenan-induced inflammatory oedema was 58.3% inhibited by the complex V (R=CH3) after oral administration. Antimicrobial tests revealed that only compound V (R=OCH3) shows a moderate antimicrobial activity against the gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, used in the test.

New derivatives of m-nitrobenzoyl-asparagic acid and m-nitrobenzoyl-asparagine with anti-inflammatory action.

In order to obtain new biologically active compounds some derivatives of 1-[N-(m-nitrobenzoyl)-alpha-D,L-asparaginyl]-2-benzyl-benzimidazole have been synthesized by ring opening reactions of 2-(m-nitrophenyl)-4-(beta-amidomethyl)-delta 2-oxazolin-5-one and 2-(m-nitrophenyl)-4-(beta-carboxymethyl)-delta 2-oxazolin-5-one with 2-benzylbenzimidazole (dibazole).

Histological aspects of the pulmonary territory as seen in an experimentally ovalbumin induced inflammation in guinea pigs.

The microscopic morphology of the respiratory territory was investigated on sections of pulmonary tissue and bronchioalveolar lavage liquid (BAL) that were stained with Giemsa, PAS and trichrome solutions. As a result of the induced pathological conditions, the following histological images were encountered: normal histological aspect of the bronchoalveolar territory was seen in the groups nebulized with 0.9% NaCl or sensitized after i.p. administration of ovalbumin (OA); macrophage cells influx in both tissue samples and BAL in animals nebulized with OA; after sensitization with OA followed by nebulization with OA, the same sequence of events as in atopical asthma was reproduced, including loss of epithelial structure and the appearance of mast cells and basophils in the alveolar territory. Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate, used to treat asthma attacks, causes a similar histological aspect as in the untreated group. Cells with intact basophilic granules were seen in the hypersensitized group under ketotiphen protection.

[The synthesis and anti-inflammatory properties of 7-theophyllineacetic acid derivatives].

Some esters of 7-theophyllinylacetic acid were synthetized, characterized physicochemically and tested for their anti-inflammatory properties. As compared to indomethacin, reference anti-inflammatory drug, all synthetized compounds were less toxic. The anti-inflammatory properties are influenced by the nature of the ester group radicals, the more active having ramified alchils.

[Adhesive cutaneous pharmaceutical forms].

The adhesive cutaneous pharmaceutical forms aimed to local action release the drug substance in view of a dermatological, traumatological, antirheumatic, cosmetic action. Two such preparations were obtained and their stability, consistency and pH were determined. The "in vitro" tests of their bioavailability revealed the dynamics of calcium ions release according to the associations of each preparation. The bioavailability determined by evaluating the pharmacological response demonstrated the antiinflammatory action obtained by the association of calcium ions with the components extracted from poplar muds. The therapeutical efficiency of the studied preparations has proved in the treatment of some sport injuries.

Withania somnifera, a plant with a great therapeutical future.

Withania somnifera Dun is a plant which drew the interest of many researchers in several countries, either for its active principles or for the extremely important pharmacodynamic or pharmacotherapeutic properties it has and first of all for the content in withanolides, substances with a sterol structure.
