Biological Evaluation and Molecular Docking Studies of Dimethylpyridine Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Cyclooxygenase inhibitors as anti-inflammatory agents can be used in chemoprevention. Many in vitro and in vivo studies on human and animal models have explained the mechanisms of the chemopreventive effect of COX inhibitors such as: induction of apoptosis, inhibition of neoplasia, angiogenesis suppression, induction of cell cycle inhibition and inhibition of the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors. Here, biological evaluation of twelve different Schiff base derivatives of N-(2-hydrazine-2-oxoethyl)-4,6-dimethyl-2-sulfanylpyridine- 3-carboxamide are presented. Their in vitro anti-COX-1/COX-2, antioxidant and anticancer activities were studied. The molecular docking study was performed in order to understand the binding interaction of compounds in the active sit
