Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of 1,2-3-substituted 2a1,4,5-triazacyclopenta[cd]indene derivatives

The present study reports the synthesis of 1,2-3-substituted-2a1,4,5-triazacyclopenta[cd]indene derivatives. The synthetic methodology includes some of the prominent reaction steps as specified in sequence (i) Bromination of acetophenones (ii) Condensation of 2-bromo-1-(substituted phenyl) ethanone derivatives with 2-aminopyrimidine, and (iii) Coupling of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives with 1,2-diaryl/diaklylethynes. The structures of the newly synthesized derivatives have been determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, LC-MS, and IR spectral analysis. Furthermore, these derivatives were screened for their preliminary anti-inflammatory activities using Carrageenan induced paw edema test method. These promising screening results suggested a huge potential for the molecular diversity from present compounds that can be inflated to better lead candidates.
