| Abstract | Phthalimide and some N-substituted cyclic imides may be potent hypolipidemic agents, capable of reducing plasma cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. In this work, N-phenylphthalimide (5a), N-(2-nitrophenyl)phthalimide (5b), N-(3-nitrophenyl)phthalimide (5c), N-(4-nitrophenyl)phthalimide (5d), N-(4-bromophenyl)phthalimide (5e), N-(4-amidaphenyl)phthalimide (5f), N-(4-methylthiophenyl)phthalimide (5g), and N-(4-chlorophenyl)phthalimide (5h) were synthesized, and their effects on reducing lipid levels and as acute antiinflammatory agents in 3-month-old male Swiss mice were compared with phthalimide. To access their safety, the drugs were administered to determine the acute toxicity (LD50 value). In addition, the acute anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated via carrageenan-induced edema; and the effective dose was determined for compounds that showed the best anti-inflammatory activity in comparison with ibuprofen. The compound (5g) proved to be a more active hypolipidemic compound than phthalimide, at a dose level of 20 mg kg−1 day−1. The derivative (5g) reduced the plasmatic triglycerides and cholesterol levels by 54 and 41 %, respectively, while the percentages of reduction were 43 and 30 %, respectively, with phthalimide. The hypocholesterolemic and hypotriglyceridemic activities of the (5g) derivative were similar to that obtained with the commercially available drug, pravastatin. The anti-inflammatory activity of compound (5b) was similar to ibuprofen and aspirin at 250 mg kg−1. Taken together, it was demonstrated that the new phthalimide derivatives were able to increase HDL-cholesterol levels, along with reducing the cholesterol and triglyceride levels and carrageenan-induced edema in mice. Therefore, they may offer promise in the future as new hypolipidemic and anti-inflammatory agents. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
