Abstract
The current study was designed to evaluate the 2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (HBH) as a drug having efficacy against pyrexia, inflammation, and nociception. Besides, the therapeutic effects of HBH on oxidative stress and C-reactive proteins were also evaluated. The pharmacological studies on HBH (20-60 mg/kg) were conducted using nociception, inflammation, and pyrexia standard models. Naloxone antagonism was performed to assess the possible involvement of opioidergic mechanisms. The antioxidant study was conducted on ABTS and DPPH assays using gallic acid as a standard. Moreover, the binding capability of HBH with enzymes cyclooxygenase-I/II (COX-I/II) was determined using molecular modeling analysis. The findings indicated that the HBH dose-dependently inhibited pain, inflammation, and pyrexia. The HBH has significant anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities at 60 mg/kg (***p < 0.001), similar to the lower doses of diclofenac sodium (50 mg/kg) and tramadol (30 mg/kg). The HBH at 60 mg/kg reduced pyrexia as paracetamol (150 mg/kg). The HBH at 20-60 mg/kg doses declined the plasma C-reactive protein concentration. The mechanistic studies showed that the anti-nociceptive effect of HBH was antagonized by naloxone, indicating that the opioidergic mechanisms are involved. Furthermore, computational studies showed that the HBH exhibited an affinity for COX-I/II target receptors. The HBH significantly inhibited ABTS and DPPH radicals (IC50 = 33.81 and 26.74 μg/ml). These results proposed that the HBH has significant antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-nociceptive activities involving opioidergic mechanism.

Comparative evaluation of gastroulcerogenic potential of nitrogen isoforms of salicyl alcohol and aspirin in rats: biochemical and histological study. Arch Pharm Res 2013; 37:916-26. [PMID: 24085627 DOI: 10.1007/s12272-013-0245-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2013] [Accepted: 09/13/2013] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the current study was to explore in vivo any relative gastroulcerogenic prospective propensity of newly synthesized nitrogen containing derivatives of salicyl alcohol; compound (I) [1-(2-hydroxybenzyl)piperidinium chloride], compound (II) [4-carbamoyl-1-(2-hydroxybenzyl)piperidinium chloride] and aspirin in albino rats. The experimental groups received the following oral treatments daily for 6 days: group I saline control; group II, standard (aspirin) treatment group [150 mg/kg of body weight]; group III, test (compound I) treatment group [100, 150 mg/kg]; group IV, test (compound II) treatment group [100, 150 mg/kg]. The results showed that in the case of the aspirin treated group and compound (I) [150 mg/kg], there was a significant increase in gastric volume, free acidity, total acidity, ulcer score and a decrease in gastric pH. Furthermore, histopathological examination of gastric mucosa of these treated groups revealed detectable morphological changes. Utilizing the same protocol, synthetic compound (I) [100 mg/kg] and (II) [100, 150 mg/kg] exhibited no statistically significant ulcerogenic or cytotoxic properties. A cyclooxygenase (COX) selectivity test indicated the preferential inhibition of COX-I and COX-II enzymes by compounds (I) and (II). This study therefore indicates that these synthetic compounds may possess reduced ulcerogenic potential and could be a functional substitute to aspirin.
