Benzodioxole-Pyrazole Hybrids as Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Agents with COX-1,2/5-LOX Inhibition and Antioxidant Potential.

Two series of benzodioxole-pyrazole hybrids were synthesized and the IC50 values for in vitro inhibition of the enzymes cyclooxygenase 1/2 (COX-1, COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) were investigated. All compounds were tested for their in vivo anti-inflammatory and analgesic potentials using diclofenac sodium as a reference standard. Compounds 4, 11, 17, 20, 21, 26, and 27, which showed good analgesic and/or anti-inflammatory activities, were also evaluated for their ability to inhibit tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α production, myeloperoxidase and proteinase, beside their antioxidant activity. Collectively, compounds 11, 17, and 26 displayed significant anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant activities, beside dual COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibition. Among these, compound 26 showed high selectivity for in vitro COX-1/COX-2 inhibition, whereas the analogs 11 and 17 noticeably ameliorated the TNF-α level by 85.19 and 97.71%, respectively. A molecular docking study was performed to investigate the possible binding mode of compounds 11, 17, and 26 with the active sites of the COX-2 and 5-LOX enzymes, where they showed nearly the same binding pattern as that of celecoxib and meclofenamic acid, respectively.
