Egypt electron microscope, after 24 hours of administration of single dose (100 mg/kg) in rats. Significant anti-inflammatory activity was displayed by most of the target derivatives. p-Nitro and p-methoxystyryl isoxazole carboxylic acid derivatives (4e and 4f) revealed 75% inhibition of inflammation after 1 hr reflected the rapid onset of action of these derivatives, which may sustained up to 5 hr as in case of 4e. The anti-inflammatory activity of 5-(p-nitro and pdimethylaminostyryl)-isoxazole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl esters (3e and 3g) being favorably comparable with indomethacin in terms of potency and ulcerogenic liability. The rational behind the synthesis of these compounds and the structure activity relationship are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
