title: Pharmacodynamic study of a pyrophtalone: [methyl-2 (piperidino-2 ethyl-1)-1 dihydro 1-4 pyridylidene-4 yl]-2 indanedione 1-3. I. Anti-inflammatory activity.
abstract: The anti-inflammatory activity of a pyrophtalone [methyl-2 (piperidino-2 ethyl-1)-1 dihydro 1-4 pyridylidene-4 yl]-2 indanedione 1-3, has been demonstrated with different methods (carrageenan-induced edema of rat's paw, granuloma formation, adjuvant-induced arthritis). The anti-inflammatory potency is lower but sometimes comparable to that of phenylbutazone. Moreover, the acute toxicity and the ulcerogenic effect of the pyropthalone derivative are clearly less marked.
