Pharmacological Evaluation of Novel Quinazoline Derivatives for Their Anti-Convulsant and CNS Depressant Activities | Chapter 2 | Current Overview on Pharmaceutical Science Vol. 7

 The present study tried to design and synthesise isomeric new series of quinazoline-4-one/4-thione descendants, based on the pharmacophoric model of CNS project by structural modifications retaining the essential fundamental features for the exercise and evaluated for their anticonvulsant and CNS depressant features. Epilepsy, a disorder of unprovoked seizures is a versatile disease affecting things of all ages with the predilection for the very young and old. In addition to seizures, many sufferers often report intelligent and psychiatric problems guide both the seizures themselves and its analysis.  A series of 7-chloro-3-[substituted (amino/phenylamino)]-2-phenyl quinazolin-4 (3H)-individual/thione derivatives and 1-(7-chloro-4-oxo/-2-phenylquinazoline-3 (4H-yl)) substituted urea derivatives were combined. The reaction blueprint proceeds through the intermediate 7-chloro-2-phenyl-4H-benzo[d] [1, 3] oxazin-4-individual. The newly combined compounds were characterized by infrared (IR), 1H basic magnetic reverberation (NMR) and mass spectra (m/z) and basic analysis. The maximum electroshock (MES) taking test and Porsolt's behavioural despair test (forced swimming) were used to analyze the anti-convulsant and CNS depressant venture, respectively. To judge any potential alterations in motor arrangement brought on apiece test compounds, the rota-rod test was transported. The synthesis of quinazoline descendants with a common scaffolding was unequivocally rooted by the physicochemical and spectroscopic data. The synthesised compounds were judged for their anticonvulsant and CNS depressant properties. Six compounds (IIc, IIg, IIj, IIIc, IIIg, IIIj) shown a good activity characterization in CNS depressant activity. Five compounds (IIc, IIg, IIj, IIIg, IIIh) granted protection against MES-persuaded seizures. Compounds IIc, IIg, IIj, IIIc, IIIg, IIIj, and IIIh were found to be a forceful compound which concede possibility be effective as a potential source for the incident of CNS depressant and antagonistic-convulsant drugs with lesser aftereffects.

Determining the Analgesic Activity of Asoka – Saraca asoca (Roxb.) de Wilde | Chapter 5 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 11

 In order to confirm the analgesic properties of kashaya of stem bark of Asoka, Saraca asoca (Roxb.) de Wilde, a reverse pharmacological investigation has been conducted. The medication Asoka - Saraca asoca (Roxb.) de Wilde - is included under the Vedanasthapana Mahakashaya in Acharya Charaka's Shatvirechana Shatasriteeya. The analgesic effects of drugs have been discussed in classical literature. In Udavartha, it is extensively used as arishta to manage various anila vedana. Female Wistar Albino rats were used to test the analgesic activity utilising the acetic acid-induced writhing method. A 0.4ml/200g b.wt. intraperitoneal injection of 0.25% v/v acetic acid in normal saline was used to diagnose the writhing syndrome. Rats will get the test drug and the standard dose 60 minutes before receiving an acetic acid injection. The percentage of suppression of writhing is used to measure analgesic activity. The analgesic study revealed significant differences between the effective and doubly effective doses of the test medication and the control. Thus, it supports the kashaya of Saraca asoca (Roxb.) de Wilde's stem bark's analgesic qualities.
