In Vitro Anti-Inflammatory Activity of 4-Benzylpiperidine

Abstract

Objective: To study the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of 4-benzylpiperidine. Methods: This study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of 4-benzylpiperidine using in vitro models such as inhibition of albumin denaturation and proteinase inhibitory activity. Results: This study revealed the dose-dependent inhibition of protein denaturation and proteinase inhibitory activity by 4-benzylpiperidine. Conclusion: In the present study, results indicate that the 4-benzylpiperidine possess anti-inflammatory properties. The drug inhibited the heat induced albumin denaturation and proteinase inhibitory activity. It shows dose-dependent significant activity when compared with a standard drug. Hence, this study gives an idea that the 4-benzylpiperidine can be used as a lead compound for designing a potent anti-inflammatory drug which can be used to cure inflammation.
