Rationally designed hybrid molecules with appreciable COX-2 inhibitory and anti-nociceptive activities

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2014 Jan 1;24(1):77-82. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2013.11.080. Epub 2013 Dec 4.

Abstract

Six molecules were obtained by the combination of three biologically and medicinally significant moieties-indole, chrysin and pyrazole. Bio-evaluation of these hybrid molecules showed significant inhibition of COX-2 enzymatic activity over that of COX-1 and appreciable anti-nociceptive activity, checked at swiss albino mice.

Keywords: Anti-inflammatory; Anti-nociceptive; Chrysin; Indole; Molecular modeling.
