Novel isatin conjugates endowed with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties: design, synthesis and biological evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study aimed to develop novel molecular hybrid conjugates integrating isatin, rhodanine, and phthalimide pharmacophores to create effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents with improved safety profiles over existing treatments.

Materials & methods

A series of hybrid conjugates (4a - l) were synthesized and evaluated through in vitro and in vivo biological assays. The most promising compound, 4c, underwent extensive pharmacological and toxicological evaluations. Molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and 2D-QSAR studies were performed to elucidate the mechanism of action and validate the experimental findings.

Results

Compound 4c exhibited potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, effectively inhibiting COX-2 and
