Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Some Piperazine Derivatives as Anti-Inflammatory Agents

Abstract

Some 1-((4-methylpiperazin-1yl)methyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole & 1-((4-phenylpiperazin-1yl)methyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives were synthesized through reaction of 1-substituted piperazines with different benzimidazole derivatives in methanol yielded the corresponding mannich bases (42-a to 42-i). All the synthesized compounds were elucidated by IR, 1H NMR and MASS spectroscopy. They were tested for anti-inflammatory activity using in-vivo (Carrageenan- induced rat paw edema model) method at a dose of 50mg/kg. result showed that compounds 42-c, 42-d and 42-h were found to be most potent in series. Keywords: 1,4-disubstituted Piperazine, Anti-inflammatory, Mannich Base.
