Synthesis, spectral studies, hydrolysis kinetics and pharmacodynamic profile of mefenamic acid prodrugs
Prodrugs of mefenamic acid with natural compounds eugenol and vanillin have been synthesized by dicyclohexylcarbodimide coupling method. Purified synthesized ester prodrugs were characterized by Melting Point, Thin Layer Chromatography, Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy, Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Mass Sspectroscopy. Prodrugs were also characterized by solubility studies, partition coefficient and hydrolytic studies. The synthesized derivatives are screened for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and ulcerogenic study which show retention of anti-inflammatory activity with reduced ulcerogenicity.
