Abstract
Introduction:Pain is an immunological response to an infection or inflammation and long-term use of pain management therapy includes the use of Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which is associated with the occurrence of toxicity as well as gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, the investigation of new analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents remains a major challenge.
Aims: The objective of this research study is to undergo the pharmacological evaluation of newly synthesized benzoxazole derivatives. These novel derivatives were evaluated for anti-nociceptive, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activity using various in-vivo and ex-vivo methods
Methods: The study was carried out using swiss mice (adult male) weighing between 20gm to 30gm and were divided into groups containing (n=6) six animals in each group for treatment. The anti-nociceptive activity was performed by using 0.1ml of 0.6% v/v acetic acid as nociception inducer and evaluated by the diminished number of abdominal writhes. The anti-inflammatory activity was done using 0.1 ml of 2% w/v Carrageenan induced paw edema method was observed which was evaluated by calculating the percent maximum possible effect. Histopathological evaluation and cytotoxic activity of the compounds were carried out.
Results: The results of this research study revealed that synthesized derivatives (a, b, c, d and e) showed promising anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects along significantly higher cytotoxic activity in MCF-7 cell lines.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that synthesized derivatives (a, b, c, d and e) have potential anti- nociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects along with cytotoxic activity and certain modification in structure may result in the potent activity
Keywords: Antinociceptive, cell line study, MCF-7, writhing, benzoxazole, swiss albino mice.
