Synthesis of novel pyridazinyl benzimidazole, benzothiazole and benzoxazole of Expected Anti-Inflammatory Activity

In this study, a novel series of 6-oxopyridazinyl benzazoles and 3, 6-dioxopyridazinyl benzazoles were prepared from the starting compounds, 2-hydrazinobenzimidazole, 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole and 2-hydrazinobenzoxazole by reaction with butyric acid derivatives and cyclic anhydrides respectively. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis as well as1H NMR, IR and MS data. Some of the newly prepared compounds were subjected to evaluation for their anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan induced paw edema at dose 100 mg kg−1using indomethacin as a reference standard and were found to be bioactive.
