Pharmacological activity of Morpholino compound.
Pak J Pharm Sci Jan ;18(3):55-9.

The pharmacological effect of morpholino compound in different biological field is of great importance for researchers and investigators. They are working day and night to synthesize pharmacologically more effective morpholino derivatives with less toxic effects. This kind of pharmacological screening of synthesized compounds can lead to the discovery of biologically useful compounds. The findings of the present study are encouraging, since present compound showed a promising analgesic activities and anti-inflammatory. Chemically synthesized morpholino compound are tested for its analgesic and inflammatory activities in intact albino mice ad rat. Compound was administered orally in different doses using the tail immersion test in mice for analgesic activity. The results of this study demonstrated that compound has inhibitory effect on arachidonic acid metabolisms via cyclooxygenase pathway or we can say the inhibition of prostaglandins biosynthesis. Classical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which inhibits cyclooxygenase, can shift arachidonic metabolism to lipoxygenase products. These findings reflect a new fact of pharmacological action of this compound like inhibition of arachidonic acid pathway in vivo. It can be concluded that the present study revealed a fair success rate but it is necessary to carry out further investigation to confirm the results.
