Antidyslipidemic and Antioxidant Effects of Novel Hydroxytriazenes

Abstract

In the present investigation, a series of substituted hydroxytriazenes containing trifluoromethyl group were synthesized via diazocoupling reaction with phenylhydroxylamine. The structure of synthesized hydroxytriazenes has been assigned on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectroscopy data. The lipid lowering effect of synthesized compounds was evaluated on triton-induced hyperlipidemia model in adult male Charles Foster rats. Administration of 400 mg/kg body wt. dose of triton WR 1339 causes elevation in total cholesterol, phospholipid, and triglyceride levels and inhibits post-heparin lipolytic activity, which was reversed by hydroxytriazenes. Adose of 100 mg/kg body wt. also inhibits free radical generation of superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals and lipid oxidation.
