Isatin (1H-indole-2,3-dione ) and derivatives demonstrate a diverse array of biological activities. Isatin and 5-halo derivatives have reacted to form the schiff’s bases , mannich bases and Friedel-Crafts alkylation’s to form C-C, C-N, C=N bonds. From the spectral studies, isatin has undergone reaction at C-3 and N-1 position and synthesized lead in present scheme and seen the similarity of structure and analgesic-anti-inflammatory activity.

 Schiff’s base n-benzylation dimethylformamide anti-inflammatory analgesic. Introduction

Isatin is a versatile compound isolated in 1988 and reported to possess a wide range of biological activity in mammals. Isatin also is a synthetically versatile substrate that can be used to prepare a large variety of heterocyclic compounds, such as indoles and quinolines, and as a raw material for drug synthesis. Schiff bases and mannich bases of isatin are known to possess a wide range of pharmacological properties including anticonvulsant, antibacterial, antiprotozoal, antifungal, antiviral, anti-HIV, tuberculostatic, analgesic, anticancer activities. In the view of this fact, we have planned the synthesis of some novel isatin analogues and screening them for analgesic-anti-inflammatory activity. Isatin, an extract from Strobilanthes cusia. The roots and the leaves of the plant, Strobilanthes cusia of the Acanthaceae family that is widely distributed in northern and central China, have been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of ailments caused by microorganisms and viruses.

 Experimental: Material and Methods

All reagents were obtained from Sigma Aldrich Bangalore, and Loba Chemie, Mumbai. All the solvents used in these studies were dried and distilled before use. Melting points were determined by open capillary tube method and are uncorrected. The purity and homogeneity of the synthesized compound were ascertained by T.L.C. on glass plate using silica gel G as adsorbent and solvent system benzene: ethanol (9:1). The spot was visualized by iodine vapor. The 1H-NMR spectra were recorded on CDCl3 (BRUCKRS). All spectra were obtained from Indian Institute of Technology Pawai Mumbai.

Preliminary Pharmacological Screening Acute Toxicity Studies, Cut-off LD<sub>50</sub>

LD50 of test compounds was performed at Anuradha College of Pharmacy Chikhali as per the O.E.C.D. guideline. Test compounds were suspended in 1% CMC solution. The compounds were administered orally at a dose level of 300,500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight, to groups of 6 animals. After administration of test compounds the rats were observed for gross behavioral neurological autonomic and toxic effects. The toxicological effects were observed in terms of mortality. No death occurred within 24 h of dose of 300 and 500mg/kg but at a dose of 1000mg/kg 50% mortality was observed. As dose has increased further up to 4000mg/kg, all the animals have died. Hence 1000 mg/kg dose was considered as LD50. 1/10th of the LD50 was considered as an effective dose i.e.100 mg/kg.

 Evaluation of Analgesic Activity. (Writhing test)

The method has followed described by International standards. The total number of writhing following intraperitoneal administration of acetic acid solution (1%, 10 ml/kg) was recorded over a period of 30 min, starting 5 min after acetic acid injection. The mice were treated with test (100 mg/kg) suspended in 1% CMC or standard drug (Aspirin, 300 mg/kg), 30 min before administration of acetic acid 5.

The number of writhings and stretching was recorded and permitted to express the percentage of protection using the ratio = (Control mean-treated mean) ×100/control mean

 Carrageenan-Induced Hind Paw Edema in Rats.

The acute hind paw edema was produced by injecting 0.1 ml of Carrageenan (prepared as 1% suspension in 1% CMC) locally into the plantar aponeurosis of the right hind paw of rats, to groups of six ,and standard drug, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, 300 mg/kg), respectively. Test (drug 100 mg/kg) and ASA were administered 1 h prior to the injection of Carrageenan. The rat pedal volume up to the ankle joint was measured using plethysmometer at 0 h (just before) and 1h and 3 h after the injection of Carrageenan. Increase in the paw edema volume was considered as the difference. Percent inhibition of edema volume between treated and a control group was calculated as follows:

Percent inhibition = (Vc − Vt)/Vc × 100, Where Vt = mean relative change in a paw volume in test group and Vc = mean relative change in paw volume in control group.

 Result and Discussion

The all synthesized compound was analyzed by 1H-NMR spectra on CDCl3.The reproducibility of the developed method was ascertained by considering the physical properties of the synthesized compound.

% inhibition of acetic acid induced writhing Figure 2. % inhibition of acetic acid induced writhing Conclusion:

The experiments reported here from results of biological activity of the compounds there is a clear cut relation of compounds with each other due to structural similarity. A compound with N-benzyl-3-substituted isatin was synthesized using appropriate synthetic route and screened for analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity.The test compounds showed significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity compared with the standard drug Aspirin. The study of the structure-activity relationship reveals that the presence of the electron withdrawing group does not affect anti-inflammatory activity and increase in electro-negativity increases the analgesic activity.
