title: Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of 2-pyridyl-2-thiobenzothiazole derivatives.
abstract: A series of novel 2-pyridyl-2-thiobenzothiazole compounds was prepared and investigated by a number of in vitro methods in order to determine their anti-inflammatory properties. Results are discussed with reference to well known NSAIDs. (3-carboxy-2-pyridyl)-2-thiobenzothiazole had the most potent anti-inflammatory activity, being 1.34 times more active than indomethacin used as reference compound.
