Abstract
: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs account for a sizeable fraction of the drugs prescribed worldwide. If consumed for a long time, they can cause ulcers and life-threatening side effects. Since the acidic group present in NSAIDs is mainly responsible for these side effects, the scientists try to synthesize polymer drug conjugates that avoid these side effects but still retain the potency of the parent drug. Macromolecular drug conjugates of aceclofenac were prepared by employing pectin, β cyclodextrin, deacetylated chitin (chitosan) and albumin (egg and bovine serum). The prepared conjugates were characterized and tested for their antiinflammatory, antinociceptive and antiulcerogenic activity. Further experimentation was undertaken to analyze the behavior of compounds and their stability in hydrolytic conditions. Test compound A1, a pectin conjugate of aceclofenac, exhibited significant antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity with a significant decrease in ulcer index (4.45±0.24) as against aceclofenac (8.61±0.40) or vehicle (12.39±0.44) treated group. A novel and safer polymer drug conjugate of aceclofenac has been synthesized and evaluated.
期刊介绍:
Current Organic Chemistry aims to provide in-depth/mini reviews on the current progress in various fields related to organic chemistry including bioorganic chemistry, organo-metallic chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, heterocyclic chemistry, natural product chemistry, catalytic and green chemistry, suitable aspects of medicinal chemistry and polymer chemistry, as well as analytical methods in organic chemistry. The frontier reviews provide the current state of knowledge in these fields and are written by chosen experts who are internationally known for their eminent research contributions. The Journal also accepts high quality research papers focusing on hot topics, highlights and letters besides thematic issues in these fields. Current Organic Chemistry should prove to be of great interest to organic chemists in academia and industry, who wish to keep abreast with recent developments in key fields of organic chemistry.
