The research aims to identify potent inhibitors of 15-lipoxygenase for anti-inflammatory applications.
Designed and synthesized N-alkyl/aryl/aralkyl analogs of 5-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole propanamide.
Screened compounds for inhibitory potential against soybean 15-LOX enzyme to assess IC50 values.
Conducted MTT assays to examine cytotoxicity against blood mononuclear cells.
Performed molecular docking studies to understand ligand-receptor interactions.
Compounds 7e, 7k, 7i, and 7a exhibited potent inhibition with IC50 values between 3.45 µM and 4.83 µM.
Compound 7j and other analogs showed significant inhibitory effects with IC50 values from 5.21 µM to 9.37 µM.
All tested analogs demonstrated >75% viability in cytotoxicity assays at 0.25 mM concentrations.
Pharmacokinetic profiles indicated good drug-likeness with compliance to the rule of five.
