Benzoxazolones are widely distributed in plants and are of increasing interest for a variety of pharmacological properties, such as detoxification, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic activities and tranquilizers (Michaelidou and Hadjipavlou-Litina, 2005; Do˘ gruer et al., 1998). 4-Hydroxy-2-benzoxazolone (HBOA) is one of the major bioactive compounds in traditional Chinese herb drug Acanthus ilicifolius (Peng and Long, 2006) which has obvious anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities (Huo et al., 2004; Mani Senthil Kumar et al., 2008; Babu et al., 2001). In this research, we used 2-nitroresorcinol as starting material to prepare HBOA with a novel “one-pot-way.” Derivatives of HBOA TC-2TC-4 were obtained via electrophilic reagents and reacted with corresponding primary amines to afford Schiff Base derivatives TC-5TC-10 for further study.

Introduction In recent years, reports showed Acanthus ilicifolius has obvi- ous anti-inflammatory, analgesic activities, and 4-hydroxy-2- benzoxazolone (HBOA) is one of the major bioactive ben- zoxazolones compounds [1]. According to modern medicinal theory, HBOA is a bioisosterism of Chlorzoxazone and has the possibility to be a kind of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Since benzoxazolones are of bioactivities, many molecular modification and preliminary bioactivity evaluation studies have been performed [13]. Several useful compounds have been developed and evaluated for their analgesic properties, anti-inflammatory properties, and anti- fungal properties [47]. Nevertheless, most efforts focused on N-, 4-, 5-, or 6-substituted HBOA. Currently, 7-substituted benzoxazolone derivatives as well as their anti-inflammatory or analgesic properties have been scarcely reported. ere- fore, we report the new method for synthesis of HBOA (Scheme 1), some new C-7 HBOA derivatives and their anti- inflammatory as well as analgesic activities. 2.

312 Anti-Inflammatory Activity Anti-inflammatory activ-ity was examined by using carrageenan-induced rat pawedema test [10] Seventy-two adult Sprague-Dawley ratsweighing 150ndash180 g were used All animals were fed dietin pellets following standard good laboratory practices Theanimals were randomly divided into 12 groups of six animalseach All of the compounds and the reference drug weresuspended in 05 carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solutionThe standard drug aspirin and the test compoundswere givenat a dose of 20mgkg After one hour of the administration ofthe compounds and standard drug 01mL of 1 carrageenansolution in saline was injected into the subplantar region ofthe right hind paw of each rat The right hind paw volumewas measured after 3 h of carrageenan treatment by means ofplethysmometer

The test compounds showed anti-inflammatory activityranging from 104 to 566 whereas the standard drugaspirin showed 415 inhibition of edema after three hoursCompounds TC-3 TC-5 andTC-8 showedmore potent anti-inflammatory activity than aspirin (Table 2)

32 Chemistry In this research we synthesized compoundsTC-2 to TC-10 and their bioactivities were tested bycarrageenan-induced rat paw edema and hot-plate test meth-ods The results show that compounds HBOA and TC-3 TC-5 TC-7 TC-8 and TC-9 are active as analgesicand compounds TC-3 TC-5 and TC-8 are active as anti-inflammatory agent while the other compounds are poorlyactive towards the tested organisms

3 Result and Discussion

31 Biological Testing

311 Analgesic Activity Analgesic activity was examined byusing the hot-plate test protocol [8 9] 120 Webster miceof both sexes weighing 18ndash22 g were used for study Allanimals were fed diet in pellets following standard goodlaboratory practices Mice were divided into 12 groups Allof the compounds and the reference drug were suspendedin 05 carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution The firstgroup as negative control received 5 CMC solution andthe second group received aspirin (g) as a reference drugwhile the other groups received the 10 test compounds Micewere dropped gently in a dry glass beaker of 1 dm3 capacitymaintained at 505ndash55∘C Normal reaction time in secondsfor all mice was determined at time intervals of 30 60 and90 minutes this is the interval extending from the instantthe mouse reaches the hot beaker till the animal licks itsfeet or jumps out of the beaker (dose 10mgkg) The relativepotencies to aspirin (g) were then determined (Table 1) Micewere maintained under 12 h lightdark cycles with controlledtemperature (28∘C)

HBOA and TC-3 TC-5 TC-7 TC-8 and TC-9 exhibitedmore petent analgesic than aspirin Compounds TC-3 TC-8and TC-9 showed around twice the activity of aspirin after 90minutes

3 Result and Discussion

31 Biological Testing

311 Analgesic Activity Analgesic activity was examined byusing the hot-plate test protocol [8 9] 120 Webster miceof both sexes weighing 18ndash22 g were used for study Allanimals were fed diet in pellets following standard goodlaboratory practices Mice were divided into 12 groups Allof the compounds and the reference drug were suspendedin 05 carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution The firstgroup as negative control received 5 CMC solution andthe second group received aspirin (g) as a reference drugwhile the other groups received the 10 test compounds Micewere dropped gently in a dry glass beaker of 1 dm3 capacitymaintained at 505ndash55∘C Normal reaction time in secondsfor all mice was determined at time intervals of 30 60 and90 minutes this is the interval extending from the instantthe mouse reaches the hot beaker till the animal licks itsfeet or jumps out of the beaker (dose 10mgkg) The relativepotencies to aspirin (g) were then determined (Table 1) Micewere maintained under 12 h lightdark cycles with controlledtemperature (28∘C)

HBOA and TC-3 TC-5 TC-7 TC-8 and TC-9 exhibitedmore petent analgesic than aspirin Compounds TC-3 TC-8and TC-9 showed around twice the activity of aspirin after 90minutes

3 Result and Discussion

31 Biological Testing

311 Analgesic Activity Analgesic activity was examined byusing the hot-plate test protocol [8 9] 120 Webster miceof both sexes weighing 18ndash22 g were used for study Allanimals were fed diet in pellets following standard goodlaboratory practices Mice were divided into 12 groups Allof the compounds and the reference drug were suspendedin 05 carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution The firstgroup as negative control received 5 CMC solution andthe second group received aspirin (g) as a reference drugwhile the other groups received the 10 test compounds Micewere dropped gently in a dry glass beaker of 1 dm3 capacitymaintained at 505ndash55∘C Normal reaction time in secondsfor all mice was determined at time intervals of 30 60 and90 minutes this is the interval extending from the instantthe mouse reaches the hot beaker till the animal licks itsfeet or jumps out of the beaker (dose 10mgkg) The relativepotencies to aspirin (g) were then determined (Table 1) Micewere maintained under 12 h lightdark cycles with controlledtemperature (28∘C)

HBOA and TC-3 TC-5 TC-7 TC-8 and TC-9 exhibitedmore petent analgesic than aspirin Compounds TC-3 TC-8and TC-9 showed around twice the activity of aspirin after 90minutes

312 Anti-Inflammatory Activity Anti-inflammatory activ-ity was examined by using carrageenan-induced rat pawedema test [10] Seventy-two adult Sprague-Dawley ratsweighing 150ndash180 g were used All animals were fed dietin pellets following standard good laboratory practices Theanimals were randomly divided into 12 groups of six animalseach All of the compounds and the reference drug weresuspended in 05 carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solutionThe standard drug aspirin and the test compoundswere givenat a dose of 20mgkg After one hour of the administration ofthe compounds and standard drug 01mL of 1 carrageenansolution in saline was injected into the subplantar region ofthe right hind paw of each rat The right hind paw volumewas measured after 3 h of carrageenan treatment by means ofplethysmometer

The test compounds showed anti-inflammatory activityranging from 104 to 566 whereas the standard drugaspirin showed 415 inhibition of edema after three hoursCompounds TC-3 TC-5 andTC-8 showedmore potent anti-inflammatory activity than aspirin (Table 2)

32 Chemistry In this research we synthesized compoundsTC-2 to TC-10 and their bioactivities were tested bycarrageenan-induced rat paw edema and hot-plate test meth-ods The results show that compounds HBOA and TC-3 TC-5 TC-7 TC-8 and TC-9 are active as analgesicand compounds TC-3 TC-5 and TC-8 are active as anti-inflammatory agent while the other compounds are poorlyactive towards the tested organisms
