Two procedures for preparing 3-oxindolecarboxanilides are described. 2',4'-Difluorocarboxanilides of this series have potent antiinflammatory activity in the carrageenan-induced rat foot edema test. Physiochemical properties are reported and discussed in terms of relationship to antiinflammatory activity (rats) and plasma half-life (dogs).
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.
