Brief resume of the intended work

6.1 Need for study
The inflammatory response is accompanied by the clinical signs of erythema, edema, hyperalgia and pain (algesia). Inflammation may lead to osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The existing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have side effects like gastric or intestinal ulceration and bleeding that sometimes can be accompanied by anemia from the resultant blood loss. Other side effects of these drugs that result from blockade of the synthesis of endogenous prostaglandins and thromboxane-A2 include disturbances in platelet functions and changes in renal function.1
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of number of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. It has been demonstrated that TNF-α production in proinflammatory cells become attenuated by an elevation of intracellular cyclic adenosine 3ʹ, 5′-monophosphate. This is regulated by phosphodiesterase family of enzymes. Inhibition of one such enzyme, the calcium-independent and cAMP-specific PDE4, represents an attractive approach toward immunoinflammatory disease therapy.2
The indane-1,3-dione derivatives have shown potential anticoagulant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities.
Indane-1,3-dione3 constitute a unique group of compounds due to its 1,3-dicarbonyl nature, which offer wide scope for studies in problems of theoretical organic chemistry particularly on the basis of tautomerism and dual reactivity.

Indane-1,3-dione
2-substituted derivatives of indane-1,3-diones have shown promising activity as anticoagulant, anticancer, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, fungicidal and bactericidal agents.4-7
Some 5 and 6 membered heterocyclic rings, having potential analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities which when fused with Indane -1,3-dione, gives synergistic effect.
Hence, we plan to synthesize novel indane-1,3-dione derivatives and subsequently study for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity.
6.2 Review of literature
v  Wei He et al synthesized a novel series of 2,2-disubstituted indane-1,3-dione based PDE4 inhibitors and its structure-activity relationship studies led to the identification of inhibitors with nanomolar potency and oral activity in a murine endotoxemia model for TNF-α inhibition.3
v  Giles D et al synthesized 2-substituted thiophenyl derivatives of indane-1,3-dione and were investigated for their anticoagulant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antibacterial and anticancer activities.4

v  Robert-Piessard S et al synthesized derivatives of 2-polyaza-arylindane-1,3-diones which were diversely substituted on the heterocycle and the homocycle in order to study for their anti-inflammatory activity.5

v  3-(2-/4-pyridinyl) indane-1,3-diones and structurally related compounds resulting from the replacement of pyridine by quinoline and benzimidazole were synthesized by Robert-Piessard S et al and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic activity.6
v  Meena S et al synthesized 2-(aryl-methylene)-(1H)-indane-1,3-(2H)-diones and evaluated for their potential antifungal and antimicrobial activities.7

v  2-arylidene-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones and 2-arylideneindan-1,3-diones were synthesized by Inayama S et al and examined for their antitumor activity against ascites sarcoma-180. All the 2-arylidene-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones and one arylideneindan-1,3-dione exhibited a high degree of activity.8
v  Sulfur derivatives of indane-1,3-dione were synthesized and evaluated for their pharmacological activity by Mitka K et al.9
v  Salama MA et al synthesized some newly substituted phenylhydrazono ideno-thiazolo[3,2-b]pyrimidin-3-ones and evaluated for antimicrobial activity which was determined using cup plate method.10
v  2-(3-aminopropionyl)-1,3-indanediones containing a basic side chain in 2nd position have been synthesized by Hamama WM et al. Because of their anticoagulant and psychopharmacological properties, 2-acetyl-1,3-indane dione was subjected to Mannich reaction with dimethylamine, morpholine or piperazine and para-formaldehyde to afford the Mannich bases. 11
v  Hammouda M carried out reaction of indane-1,3-dione with indole, 2-phenylindole, antipyrine, 4-aminoantipyrine and 3-amino-1-phenylpyrazol-2-in-5-one which afford 3-(Indole-3′-yl) inden-1-one, 3-(2′-phenyl-indol-3′-yl)inden-1-one and 3-(2′,3′-dimethyl-5′-oxo-1′-phenyl-3′-pyrazolin-4′-yl)inden-1-one respectively. Treatment of these with hydrazoic acid under Schmidt reaction conditions gave the respective 4-substituted carbostyriles.12
v  Bicyclo-3,4-dihydropyrimidinediones were synthesized by Shanmugam P et al from cyclic 1,3-diketones such as 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (dimedone) and 1,3-indanedione.13
v  Kozlov NG et al synthesized 2-Methoxy-4-(12-oxo-12H-benzo[f]indeno [1,2-b]quinolin-13-yl) phenyl esters of carboxylic acid by three component condensation of indane-1,3-dione, 2-naphthylamine, and O-acylvanillin. 2-arylidenindan-1,3-diones formed during the reaction were isolated. 14
v  Rajendra S et al synthesized a series of thiosemicarbazones derived from indanedione-1,3 & reported for antiviral and antibacterial screening by using plastic panel and agar diffusion techniques respectively.15
v  Bryce MR et al studied on a series of mono, bis, tris(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)
derivatives of 1,3-indanedione and investigated for X-ray crystal structure of the complex.16
v  Geita LS et al synthesized spiro [(indane-1,3-dione)-2,3′(2′-substituted 1′-azirines)] by intra molecular cyclization of 2-acylindane-1,3-dione oximes. Their structures and properties were investigated and it was established that the C-N and C-C single bonds are cleaved during opening of three-membered ring.17
v  Aliev ZG et al studied an X-ray diffraction structural analysis on the dimer 2,2′-bis-[2-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)indane-1,3-dione] which displayed mechanochromic properties due to decomposition to free radicals.18
v  Thiadiazoline derivatives were synthesized by Elwan NM et al and they treated indane-1,3-dione-2-thiocarboxanilides with hydrazonoyl halides.19
v  Moustafa AH et al synthesized substituted 4-azafluorenes by ammonium acetate base catalyzed cyclocondensation of 2-arylmethylene indan-1-ones and 2-arylmethylene indan-1,3-diones with ethylcyanoacetate, diethylmalonate, ethylacetoacetate, indane-1-one and α-tetralone.20
v  Thirumamagal BTS et al synthesized 2-aryl-1,3-indanedione by the condensation of the sulfone with aryl aldehyde and have considerable interest due to their anticoagulant, parasiticidal and a range of biological activities.21
v  Bahera RK et al synthesized several 4,5-dihydroindeno [1,2-c] [1,2] diazepin-
6(1H)-ones by condensing 2-substituted ethyl 1,3-indanedione with hydrazine.22
