In vivo effects of a selected thiourea derivative 1-(2-chlorobenzoyl)-3-(2,3-dichlorophenyl) against nociception, inflammation and gastric ulcerogenicity: Biochemical, histopathological and in silico approaches.

The current study was designed to investigate the potential of a synthetic therapeutic agent for better management of pain and inflammation, exhibiting minimal to non-existent ulcerogenic effects. The effect of 1-(2-chlorobenzoyl)-3-(2,3-dichlorophenyl) thiourea was assessed through model systems of nociception and anti-inflammatory activities in mice. In addition, the ulcerogenic potential was evaluated in rats using the NSAID-induced pyloric ligation model, followed by histopathological and biochemical analysis.
