Design, Synthesis, Characterization, Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Evaluation of Certain Novel Pyrazoline Derivatives Containing Imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole Moiety

In present study, a novel series of substituted imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole pyrazoline derivatives (2a-e) and (3a-e) from the reference compound imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole chalcones (1a-e) in PEG-400 by using hydrazine hydrate and phenyl hydrazine was synthesized. Characterization of newly synthesized compounds was done using IR and 1H NMR. Further, imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole pyrazoline derivatives were subjected to check their in vitro antioxidant activities at a concentration of 0.5 mmol/L in methanol. Compounds 2c, 2d, 3c, 3d and 3e showed comparatively good activity than standard drug diclofenac. The anti-inflammatory activity of compounds 2c, 2d, 2e, 3c, 3d and 3e were comparable with standard drug. Similarly, all these compounds possess good antioxidant activity as compared to ascorbic acid (vitamin C); compared to the value of DPPH and SOD antioxidant activity 44.18 % and 74.07 %, respectively. These synthesized compounds exhibited a good anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities hence might be useful in future drug designing studies.
