Synthesis of N,N'-bis(3-substituted benzylideneaminopropyl)-piperazines and their anti-inflammatory, antiproteolytic, and anticonvulsant properties.
Some N,N'-bis(3-substituted benzylideneaminopropyl) piperazines were synthesized and characterized by their sharp melting points and elemental analyses. These substituted piperazines possessed anti-inflammatory activity, and the protection afforded by these compounds against carrageenan-induced edema ranged from 23 to 67%. The antiproteolytic activity of these piperazines was reflected by their ability to inhibit in vitro hydrolysis of bovine serum albumin and casein by trypsin. The inhibition of trypsin-induced hydrolysis was concentration dependent and competitive in nature.
