Design and Synthesis of Novel Quinolinone-3-aminoamides and Their α-Lipoic Acid Adducts as Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Agents
摘要:
A series of N-substituted-quinolinone-3-aminoamides and their hybrids containing the alpha-lipoic acid functionality were designed and synthesized as potential bifunctional agents combining antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. The new compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant activity and for their ability to inhibit in vitro lipoxygenase as well as for their anti-inflammatory activity in vivo. In general, the derivatives were found to be potent antioxidant or anti-inflammatory agents. The results are discussed in terms of structure-activity relationships and an attempt is made to define the structural features required for activity.
This invention relates to novel heterocyclic carboxamides which increase the activity of the immune system and to the preparation thereof. The invention is also concerned with pharmaceutical compositions containing the said compounds and methods of treatment therewith.
