Ulcer Index, Analgesics and Anti inflammatory Screening of Some Arylidene Compounds Derived from Phenyl Hydrazine and Aromatic Aldehydes

Abstract

Arylidene derivatives were synthesized from phenyl hydrazine and series of different aldehydes. Arylidene compounds are important classes of N-containing fused heterocycles widely used as key building blocks for pharmaceutical agents due to a wide range of biological activities that include anti-inflammatory and antitumor properties [1]. Arylidene derivatives were furnished by the fusion of benzene ring with different aldehydes via hydrazine moiety in the presence of glacial acetic acid. These derivatives were characterized by TLC, melting points, Infrared Red, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Mass Spectroscopy. Finally, these synthetized derivatives were tested for analgesic activity using hot plate test method, anti-inflammatory activity using rat paw oedema and ulcer index test.
