| Abstract | In present research work, we report the synthesis, in vitro hydrolysis study and pharmacological evaluation of new mutual prodrugs of mefenamic acid (MA) and 1,2 dihydro-1,5-dimethyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-2-phenylpyrazol-3-one with the aim of improving the therapeutic potency and retard the adverse effects of gastrointestinal origin. The structure of the synthesized mutual ester prodrugs (MP1 and MP2) were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy and their formation was confirmed by TLC. The purity of the synthesized compounds was established by elemental analysis. The title compounds were tested for analgesic activity by acetic acid-induced writhing method; anti-inflammatory activity was tested by carrageenan-induced rat paw edema method and ulcerogenicity. The study of the analgesic activity revealed that both prodrugs (MP1 and MP2) have shown significant reduction (81.67, 63.90 %) in writhing response produced by acetic acid as compared to parent drug MA (61.10 %). Both mutual prodrugs showed better maximum anti-inflammatory effects (71.43, 85.71 %) and for longer time as compared to parent drug MA (53.14 %). The synthesized prodrugs were also found to be very less irritating to gastric mucosal membrane than parent drugs. The kinetics of ester hydrolysis was studied in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) at pH 1.2 and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) at pH 7.4. The release of free MA from prodrugs showed negligible hydrolysis in SGF as compared to SIF. This indicated that prodrugs were sufficiently stable at pH 1.2 and do not break in the stomach, but release MA in SIF. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
