Mannich bases are known to play a vital role in the development of synthetic pharmaceutical chemistry. e literature studies revealed that Mannich bases are very reactive and can be easily converted to other compounds, for example, reduced to form physiologically active amino alcohols [7]. Mannich bases are known to possess potent activities like anti-inflammatory [8, 9], anticancer [10, 11], antifilarial [8], antibacterial [12, 13], antifungal [13, 14], anticonvulsant [15], anthelmintic [16], antitubercular [17, 18], analgesic [19], anti-HIV [17], antimalarial [20], antipsychotic [21], antiviral [22] activities and so forth.

Prodrugs of Mannich bases of various active compounds have been prepared to overcome the limitations [25]. Mannich bases (optically pure chiral) of 2-naphthol are employed for catalysis (ligand accelerated and metal mediated) of the enantioselective carbon-carbon bond formation. Mannich bases and their derivatives are intermediates for the synthesis of bioactive molecules [26, 27]. Mannich reaction is widely used for the construction of nitrogen containing compounds [28].

A series of various substituted N-[(1-piperidinoben-zyl)benzamide] (PBB) 6(andashe) (Figure 6) have been synthe-sized The antimicrobial activity of synthesized PBB wascarried out on the microorganisms S aureus B subtilisE coli and P aeruginosa by well diffusion method usingampicillin as standard drug It has been found that allthe compounds were found to be more active against allbacterial strains than ampicillin whereas compounds 6d and6e substituted with chloro and cyano group were foundto most potent There results revealed that introduction ofelectron withdrawing groups on the phenyl ring enhancesthe activity whereas electron releasing groups are less activecompared to unsubstituted phenyl ring [35]

Synthesis of novel Mannich bases (Z)-2-(5-(3-chloro-2-oxo-4-p-tolylazetidin-1-yl)quinolin-8-yloxy)-N1015840-(2-oxo-1-(piperidin-1-ylmethyl)indolin-3-ylidine)acetohydrazides7(andashh) (Figure 7) was carried out and screened for anti-bacterial activity against S aureus B cereus E coli and Paeruginosa Amoxicillin and cefaclor were used as referencedrugs Among all the synthesized compounds 7d 7e and 7fwere found to be highly active These results suggested thatsubstitution with the nitro chloro and bromo group has ledto enhanced antibacterial activity [36]

A series of N-Mannich bases of isatin 8(andashe) wereprepared with 4-amino-N-carbamimidoyl benzene sulpho-namide (Figure 8) The synthesized compounds were then

screened for antibacterial activity and 4-amino-N-carba-mimidoyl benzene sulphonamide was used as referencedrug From the antibacterial screening it was found that thecompound bearing chloro group at 5-position has prominentactivity against all the bacterial strainswith lowestMICvalues[37]

A series of 4-[1H-benzimidazole-yl(substituted benzal)methyl-amino] benzoic acids 9(andashc) (Figure 9) was syn-thesized and screened for the antibacterial and antifungalactivities against S aureus B subtilis S typhi E coliA nigerand C albicans respectively Ciprofloxacin and ketoconazolewere used as standard drugs for antibacterial and antifungalactivities respectively The results were obtained in termsof MIC values The compounds 9b and 9c substituted withhydroxyl and methoxy group on aromatic ring have shownthe highest antibacterial activity whereas compound 9a sub-stituted with dimethyl amine has shown highest antifungalactivity [38]

Mannich bases of thiosemicarbazide 10(andashy) (Figure 10)were synthesized and evaluated for the antifungal activityagainst C albicans and A niger by using brain heart infu-sion (BHI) method to estimate the MIC Fluconazole wasemployed as standard drug for comparison From the resultsit was concluded that analogs with only alkyl groups haveshown comparable activity for both strains as comparedto fluconazole whereas acyl derivatives were found to bepartly active Analogs with aromatic and substituted aromaticaldehydes showed least activity while analogs with aliphaticaldehyde ketones and amines showed greater activity inC albicans compared to A niger The analogs substituted

A series of Mannich bases of isatin and its derivativeswith 2-[26-dichlorophenyl)amino] phenylacetic acid 11(andashf) (Figure 11) was synthesized All the derivatives were eval-uated for antibacterial and antifungal activities The resultsconfigured that all the synthesized compounds have shownmoderate antibacterial activity except 11b The reason formoderate activity may be due to steric hindrance in bindingof bacteria caused by bulky phenyl acetic acid group presentat nitrogen atom of isatin nucleus The compound 11b hasshown good activity against all the bacteria indicating thatthe substitution of isatin at the 3-position with a substitutedphenyl ring favors antibacterial activity compared to anunsubstituted phenyl ring at the same position All the com-pounds have shown significant antifungal activity especially

compound 11e indicating that unsubstituted phenyl ring at 3-position of isatin is desired for antifungal activity comparedto substituted phenyl ring [40]

A series of novel Mannich bases 12(andashh) of 4-amino-3-(N-phthalimido-methyl)-124-triazole-5-thione (Figure 12)was synthesized and evaluated for the antimicrobial activityagainst a variety of gram positive gram negative and fungalstrains Levofloxacin was used as standard drug The resultsrevealed that Mannich bases 12h with electron donatingsubstituents on phenyl ring showed comparable activity tolevofloxacin against E coli andK pneumonia Mannich bases12e and 12f with halogens on phenyl ring have shown activityvery close to levofloxacin against P aeruginosa Mannichbase 12b with 2-hydroxy group has shown highest antifungalactivity against C albicans The results also enlightened thefact that the presence of morpholine ring in heterocyclicmolecules increases the antimicrobial activity [41]

22 Anti-Inflammatory Activity Mannich bases of nicoti-namide were synthesized with secondary amines like mefe-namic acid 13 (Figure 13) and diclofenac 14 (Figure 14) inthe presence of formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid Anti-inflammatory activity was studied by hind paw oedemamethod using carrageenan as a phlogistic agent on Wistarrats Nicotinamide diclofenac and mefenamic acid wereused as standard drugs Both the Mannich bases showedgreater anti-inflammatory activity than the correspondingparent drugs [42]

Nicotinamide showed least anti-inflammatory activityMannich bases of diclofenac (MND) showed greater activitythan Mannich bases of mefenamic acid (MNM) The orderof anti-inflammatory activity was found as MND gt MNM

potent antimicrobial agents than cinchophen and both ofthe standard drugs The compounds 5d and 5e were almostequipotent to cinchophen but did not respond to fungalstrains [34]

A series of various substituted N-[(1-piperidinoben-zyl)benzamide] (PBB) 6(andashe) (Figure 6) have been synthe-sized The antimicrobial activity of synthesized PBB wascarried out on the microorganisms S aureus B subtilisE coli and P aeruginosa by well diffusion method usingampicillin as standard drug It has been found that allthe compounds were found to be more active against allbacterial strains than ampicillin whereas compounds 6d and6e substituted with chloro and cyano group were foundto most potent There results revealed that introduction ofelectron withdrawing groups on the phenyl ring enhancesthe activity whereas electron releasing groups are less activecompared to unsubstituted phenyl ring [35]

Synthesis of novel Mannich bases (Z)-2-(5-(3-chloro-2-oxo-4-p-tolylazetidin-1-yl)quinolin-8-yloxy)-N1015840-(2-oxo-1-(piperidin-1-ylmethyl)indolin-3-ylidine)acetohydrazides7(andashh) (Figure 7) was carried out and screened for anti-bacterial activity against S aureus B cereus E coli and Paeruginosa Amoxicillin and cefaclor were used as referencedrugs Among all the synthesized compounds 7d 7e and 7fwere found to be highly active These results suggested thatsubstitution with the nitro chloro and bromo group has ledto enhanced antibacterial activity [36]

A series of N-Mannich bases of isatin 8(andashe) wereprepared with 4-amino-N-carbamimidoyl benzene sulpho-namide (Figure 8) The synthesized compounds were then

screened for antibacterial activity and 4-amino-N-carba-mimidoyl benzene sulphonamide was used as referencedrug From the antibacterial screening it was found that thecompound bearing chloro group at 5-position has prominentactivity against all the bacterial strainswith lowestMICvalues[37]

A series of 4-[1H-benzimidazole-yl(substituted benzal)methyl-amino] benzoic acids 9(andashc) (Figure 9) was syn-thesized and screened for the antibacterial and antifungalactivities against S aureus B subtilis S typhi E coliA nigerand C albicans respectively Ciprofloxacin and ketoconazolewere used as standard drugs for antibacterial and antifungalactivities respectively The results were obtained in termsof MIC values The compounds 9b and 9c substituted withhydroxyl and methoxy group on aromatic ring have shownthe highest antibacterial activity whereas compound 9a sub-stituted with dimethyl amine has shown highest antifungalactivity [38]

Mannich bases of thiosemicarbazide 10(andashy) (Figure 10)were synthesized and evaluated for the antifungal activityagainst C albicans and A niger by using brain heart infu-sion (BHI) method to estimate the MIC Fluconazole wasemployed as standard drug for comparison From the resultsit was concluded that analogs with only alkyl groups haveshown comparable activity for both strains as comparedto fluconazole whereas acyl derivatives were found to bepartly active Analogs with aromatic and substituted aromaticaldehydes showed least activity while analogs with aliphaticaldehyde ketones and amines showed greater activity inC albicans compared to A niger The analogs substituted

A series of Mannich bases of isatin and its derivativeswith 2-[26-dichlorophenyl)amino] phenylacetic acid 11(andashf) (Figure 11) was synthesized All the derivatives were eval-uated for antibacterial and antifungal activities The resultsconfigured that all the synthesized compounds have shownmoderate antibacterial activity except 11b The reason formoderate activity may be due to steric hindrance in bindingof bacteria caused by bulky phenyl acetic acid group presentat nitrogen atom of isatin nucleus The compound 11b hasshown good activity against all the bacteria indicating thatthe substitution of isatin at the 3-position with a substitutedphenyl ring favors antibacterial activity compared to anunsubstituted phenyl ring at the same position All the com-pounds have shown significant antifungal activity especially

compound 11e indicating that unsubstituted phenyl ring at 3-position of isatin is desired for antifungal activity comparedto substituted phenyl ring [40]

A series of novel Mannich bases 12(andashh) of 4-amino-3-(N-phthalimido-methyl)-124-triazole-5-thione (Figure 12)was synthesized and evaluated for the antimicrobial activityagainst a variety of gram positive gram negative and fungalstrains Levofloxacin was used as standard drug The resultsrevealed that Mannich bases 12h with electron donatingsubstituents on phenyl ring showed comparable activity tolevofloxacin against E coli andK pneumonia Mannich bases12e and 12f with halogens on phenyl ring have shown activityvery close to levofloxacin against P aeruginosa Mannichbase 12b with 2-hydroxy group has shown highest antifungalactivity against C albicans The results also enlightened thefact that the presence of morpholine ring in heterocyclicmolecules increases the antimicrobial activity [41]

22 Anti-Inflammatory Activity Mannich bases of nicoti-namide were synthesized with secondary amines like mefe-namic acid 13 (Figure 13) and diclofenac 14 (Figure 14) inthe presence of formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid Anti-inflammatory activity was studied by hind paw oedemamethod using carrageenan as a phlogistic agent on Wistarrats Nicotinamide diclofenac and mefenamic acid wereused as standard drugs Both the Mannich bases showedgreater anti-inflammatory activity than the correspondingparent drugs [42]

Nicotinamide showed least anti-inflammatory activityMannich bases of diclofenac (MND) showed greater activitythan Mannich bases of mefenamic acid (MNM) The orderof anti-inflammatory activity was found as MND gt MNM

26 Antioxidant Activity Ten new Mannich bases weresynthesized using (E)-2-[-2-(24-dinitrophenyl)hydrazono]methylphenol 27 (Figure 27) as a key intermediate andscreened for antioxidant activity From all the synthesizedderivatives 27(andashj) the compound 27h containing morpho-line moiety was found to be most active followed by thecompound 27i with piperazine moiety and compound 27ewith diphenylamine moiety [54]

A novel series of Mannich bases of pyrazolines 28(andashe)was synthesized (Figure 28) and evaluated for the antioxidantactivity using DPPH radical and NO radical scavengingmethods Ascorbic acid and rutin were employed as standarddrugs for comparisonThe results of both the assays suggestedthat compounds 28d and 28e have shown highest scavengingactivity The compound 28e was found to have highestantioxidant capacity as compared to both of the standarddrugs These results confirmed that phenolic compoundspossess high antioxidant ability as compared to nonphenoliccompounds [55]

TwoMannich bases of benzamide that is 1-((1H-benzod]imidazole-1-yl)methyl)urea (BIUF) 29 (Figure 29) and 1-((3-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)methyl)thiourea (TNTUF) 30(Figure 30) were synthesized and evaluated for the antioxi-dant activity Hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging DPPHradical scavenging and reducing power assays were usedfor antioxidant activity estimation Ascorbic acid was usedas standard drug Both of the Mannich bases were foundto be active antioxidant agents due to presence of electronreleasing amide group in them BIUF was found to more

active than TNTUF due to the presence of two N atoms inthe benzimidazole adjoined with amide group [56]

A series of novel Mannich bases of 134-oxadiazolederivatives having 14-benzodioxan 31 (Figure 31) weresynthesized All the synthesized novel compounds werescreened for their in vitro antioxidant activity by using 221015840-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) 221015840-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cationic radical (ABTSlowast+)and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) scavengingassays [57]

All the compounds exhibited good antioxidant activitiesBHT and Trolox were used as standard compounds for thecomparison The compounds 31e and 31f with multifluorosubstitution on benzene ring showed significant radicalscavenging ability in all three scavenging assays [57]

26 Antioxidant Activity Ten new Mannich bases weresynthesized using (E)-2-[-2-(24-dinitrophenyl)hydrazono]methylphenol 27 (Figure 27) as a key intermediate andscreened for antioxidant activity From all the synthesizedderivatives 27(andashj) the compound 27h containing morpho-line moiety was found to be most active followed by thecompound 27i with piperazine moiety and compound 27ewith diphenylamine moiety [54]

A novel series of Mannich bases of pyrazolines 28(andashe)was synthesized (Figure 28) and evaluated for the antioxidantactivity using DPPH radical and NO radical scavengingmethods Ascorbic acid and rutin were employed as standarddrugs for comparisonThe results of both the assays suggestedthat compounds 28d and 28e have shown highest scavengingactivity The compound 28e was found to have highestantioxidant capacity as compared to both of the standarddrugs These results confirmed that phenolic compoundspossess high antioxidant ability as compared to nonphenoliccompounds [55]

TwoMannich bases of benzamide that is 1-((1H-benzod]imidazole-1-yl)methyl)urea (BIUF) 29 (Figure 29) and 1-((3-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)methyl)thiourea (TNTUF) 30(Figure 30) were synthesized and evaluated for the antioxi-dant activity Hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging DPPHradical scavenging and reducing power assays were usedfor antioxidant activity estimation Ascorbic acid was usedas standard drug Both of the Mannich bases were foundto be active antioxidant agents due to presence of electronreleasing amide group in them BIUF was found to more

active than TNTUF due to the presence of two N atoms inthe benzimidazole adjoined with amide group [56]

A series of novel Mannich bases of 134-oxadiazolederivatives having 14-benzodioxan 31 (Figure 31) weresynthesized All the synthesized novel compounds werescreened for their in vitro antioxidant activity by using 221015840-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) 221015840-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cationic radical (ABTSlowast+)and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) scavengingassays [57]

All the compounds exhibited good antioxidant activitiesBHT and Trolox were used as standard compounds for thecomparison The compounds 31e and 31f with multifluorosubstitution on benzene ring showed significant radicalscavenging ability in all three scavenging assays [57]

27 Analgesic Activity A novel series of Mannich bases of5-nitro 3-substituted piperazinomethyl-2-benzoxazolinones32(andashd) (Figure 32) were prepared and studied for theanalgesic activity by p-benzoquinone induced writhing testAmong all the synthesized derivatives the compounds bear-ing electron withdrawing groups at para position such asfluoro and chloro showed potent analgesic activity [9]

Mannich bases of various 2-amino pyridine 33(Figure 33) derivatives were synthesized and screenedfor analgesic activity using acetic acid induced writhingtest and hot plate test A series of Mannich bases wereprepared by condensing 2-amino pyridine with isatinand treating the above condensed products with varioussecondary amines The analgesic activities were evaluatedusing central and peripheral analgesic assay Indomethacindiclofenac and morphine were used as reference drugsAmong the various synthesized compounds 33e 33g33h 33j 33k and 33l revealed potent analgesic activityCompounds 33f and 33g were found to be most potentagainst central and peripheral analgesic assay respectively[58]

A novel series of Mannich bases of pyrazolines 28(andashe)was synthesized (Figure 28) and evaluated for the antioxidantactivity using DPPH radical and NO radical scavengingmethods Ascorbic acid and rutin were employed as standarddrugs for comparisonThe results of both the assays suggestedthat compounds 28d and 28e have shown highest scavengingactivity The compound 28e was found to have highestantioxidant capacity as compared to both of the standarddrugs These results confirmed that phenolic compoundspossess high antioxidant ability as compared to nonphenoliccompounds [55]

TwoMannich bases of benzamide that is 1-((1H-benzod]imidazole-1-yl)methyl)urea (BIUF) 29 (Figure 29) and 1-((3-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)methyl)thiourea (TNTUF) 30(Figure 30) were synthesized and evaluated for the antioxi-dant activity Hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging DPPHradical scavenging and reducing power assays were usedfor antioxidant activity estimation Ascorbic acid was usedas standard drug Both of the Mannich bases were foundto be active antioxidant agents due to presence of electronreleasing amide group in them BIUF was found to more

active than TNTUF due to the presence of two N atoms inthe benzimidazole adjoined with amide group [56]

A series of novel Mannich bases of 134-oxadiazolederivatives having 14-benzodioxan 31 (Figure 31) weresynthesized All the synthesized novel compounds werescreened for their in vitro antioxidant activity by using 221015840-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) 221015840-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cationic radical (ABTSlowast+)and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) scavengingassays [57]

All the compounds exhibited good antioxidant activitiesBHT and Trolox were used as standard compounds for thecomparison The compounds 31e and 31f with multifluorosubstitution on benzene ring showed significant radicalscavenging ability in all three scavenging assays [57]

27 Analgesic Activity A novel series of Mannich bases of5-nitro 3-substituted piperazinomethyl-2-benzoxazolinones32(andashd) (Figure 32) were prepared and studied for theanalgesic activity by p-benzoquinone induced writhing testAmong all the synthesized derivatives the compounds bear-ing electron withdrawing groups at para position such asfluoro and chloro showed potent analgesic activity [9]

Mannich bases of various 2-amino pyridine 33(Figure 33) derivatives were synthesized and screenedfor analgesic activity using acetic acid induced writhingtest and hot plate test A series of Mannich bases wereprepared by condensing 2-amino pyridine with isatinand treating the above condensed products with varioussecondary amines The analgesic activities were evaluatedusing central and peripheral analgesic assay Indomethacindiclofenac and morphine were used as reference drugsAmong the various synthesized compounds 33e 33g33h 33j 33k and 33l revealed potent analgesic activityCompounds 33f and 33g were found to be most potentagainst central and peripheral analgesic assay respectively[58]

A novel series of Mannich bases of pyrazolines 28(andashe)was synthesized (Figure 28) and evaluated for the antioxidantactivity using DPPH radical and NO radical scavengingmethods Ascorbic acid and rutin were employed as standarddrugs for comparisonThe results of both the assays suggestedthat compounds 28d and 28e have shown highest scavengingactivity The compound 28e was found to have highestantioxidant capacity as compared to both of the standarddrugs These results confirmed that phenolic compoundspossess high antioxidant ability as compared to nonphenoliccompounds [55]

TwoMannich bases of benzamide that is 1-((1H-benzod]imidazole-1-yl)methyl)urea (BIUF) 29 (Figure 29) and 1-((3-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)methyl)thiourea (TNTUF) 30(Figure 30) were synthesized and evaluated for the antioxi-dant activity Hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging DPPHradical scavenging and reducing power assays were usedfor antioxidant activity estimation Ascorbic acid was usedas standard drug Both of the Mannich bases were foundto be active antioxidant agents due to presence of electronreleasing amide group in them BIUF was found to more

active than TNTUF due to the presence of two N atoms inthe benzimidazole adjoined with amide group [56]

A series of novel Mannich bases of 134-oxadiazolederivatives having 14-benzodioxan 31 (Figure 31) weresynthesized All the synthesized novel compounds werescreened for their in vitro antioxidant activity by using 221015840-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) 221015840-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cationic radical (ABTSlowast+)and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) scavengingassays [57]

All the compounds exhibited good antioxidant activitiesBHT and Trolox were used as standard compounds for thecomparison The compounds 31e and 31f with multifluorosubstitution on benzene ring showed significant radicalscavenging ability in all three scavenging assays [57]

27 Analgesic Activity A novel series of Mannich bases of5-nitro 3-substituted piperazinomethyl-2-benzoxazolinones32(andashd) (Figure 32) were prepared and studied for theanalgesic activity by p-benzoquinone induced writhing testAmong all the synthesized derivatives the compounds bear-ing electron withdrawing groups at para position such asfluoro and chloro showed potent analgesic activity [9]

Mannich bases of various 2-amino pyridine 33(Figure 33) derivatives were synthesized and screenedfor analgesic activity using acetic acid induced writhingtest and hot plate test A series of Mannich bases wereprepared by condensing 2-amino pyridine with isatinand treating the above condensed products with varioussecondary amines The analgesic activities were evaluatedusing central and peripheral analgesic assay Indomethacindiclofenac and morphine were used as reference drugsAmong the various synthesized compounds 33e 33g33h 33j 33k and 33l revealed potent analgesic activityCompounds 33f and 33g were found to be most potentagainst central and peripheral analgesic assay respectively[58]
