Abstract
We have synthesized and tested for their antiinflammatory activity a new series of 3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-4-isoxazoleacetic acids (IVa-IVg). Preliminary pharmacological results seem to indicate the 3-phenyl derivative IVa as the most interesting compound. In fact, when tested against carrageenin edema in Wistar rats, it shows antiinflammatory activity comparable to that of naproxene, taken as reference drug, though of shorter duration. All the substituted phenyl derivatives were less active (IVd-IVf) or inactive (IVb, IVc, IVg).
