Abstract:
Aim :To search for new compounds with stronger anti-inflammatory activities and less gastrointestinal side effects.
Methods :2-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-3-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)- propenoic acid(I) was converted to amides(II).Their anti-inflammatory activities against xylene-induced mice ear swelling were evaluated.
Results :Twelve target compounds (II
1-12) were synthesized,and their structures were confirmed by IR,
1H NMR and HR-MS.II
3 exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity compared with CMC-Na(
P<0.01) and aspirin(
P<0.05).
Conclusion :Compound II
3 deserves further investigation.
