Synthesis, molecular docking and anti-inflammatory activity 2,4-dimethyl-N-(2-aryl)-3-furamides

Abstract

2,4-Dimethyl-N-aryl-3-furamides were synthesized by the reaction of 2,4-dimethyl-furan-3-carbonyl chloride with aromatic amines in dry dioxane in the presence of triethylamine. The structures of the obtained substances were confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were preselected via molecular docking to be tested for their anti-inflammatory activity. The anti-inflammatory effect of the prepared compounds was investigated applying the carrageenan-induced paw edema model. The results have shown that the some novel furamides demonstrated considerable anti-inflammatory effect.
