Abstract

Background

In the current study, various S-naproxen derivatives (NDs) were evaluated for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities using in vivo models, along with molecular docking studies. The analgesic potential was assessed through acetic acid-induced writhing, hot plate, and formalin-induced jumping tests. Anti-inflammatory effect was investigated using carrageenan-induced paw edema model. An acute toxicity study was also conducted to ensure safety.

Results

All tested NDs in different doses were found to be safe in the acute toxicity study. In the acetic acid-induced pain model, NDs (5 mg/kg) showed a significant (p < 0.001) analgesic effect with compound 3 and 7 demonstrated maximum effect (80%). In hot plate test, compounds 7, 8, and 9 showed central analgesic activity with percent effects of 61, 48 and 45%, respectively (p < 0.05). In formalin-induced pain model, all NDs demonstrated significant analgesic activity (p < 0.001), with a stronger effect in the second phase of the test. For anti-inflammatory activity, NDs showed variable effects, with compound 7 (81.55%) and compound 8 (80.14%) showing the highest activity in the third hour of the carrageenan-induced paw edema model. Molecular docking studies confirmed strong interactions of NDs with both opioid receptors and COX-II enzymes, supporting their peripheral and central analgesic mechanisms.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that the tested S-naproxen derivatives exhibit significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. The combination of in vivo and in silico data supports the analgesic and anti- inflammatory effects.

分子对接模拟研究支持s -萘普生衍生物在动物模型上的镇痛和抗炎评价
在目前的研究中,各种s -萘普生衍生物(NDs)通过体内模型和分子对接研究来评估其镇痛和抗炎活性。通过醋酸诱导扭体、热板和福尔马林诱导跳跃试验评估镇痛电位。采用角叉菜胶诱导足跖水肿模型研究其抗炎作用。为确保安全性,还进行了急性毒性研究。结果在急性毒性试验中,不同剂量的NDs均是安全的。在醋酸致痛模型中,NDs (5 mg/kg)的镇痛效果显著(p < 0.001),其中化合物3和7的镇痛效果最大(80%)。热板试验中,化合物7、8、9的中枢镇痛活性分别为61%、48%、45% (p < 0.05)。在福尔马林诱导的疼痛模型中,所有NDs都表现出显著的镇痛活性(p < 0.001),在第二阶段的测试中效果更强。在抗炎活性方面,NDs表现出不同的作用,化合物7(81.55%)和化合物8(80.14%)在卡拉胶诱导足跖水肿模型第3小时活性最高。分子对接研究证实了NDs与阿片受体和COX-II酶的强相互作用,支持其外周和中枢镇痛机制。结论s -萘普生衍生物具有明显的镇痛和抗炎作用。体内和计算机数据的结合支持其镇痛和抗炎作用。
