title: [Anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity of aqua-dihydroxybenzoate copper complexes].
abstract: Using screening methods, the anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities of mononuclear otahedral complexes [composition:Cu(2,YDHB)2.H2O;dihydroxybenzoate ion - DHB; Y(n)-4(8).5(4) and 6(8)] and the corresponding carboxylic acids were studied. On paw dextran edema (rats, an effective dose of 10 mg/kg), a higher efficacy of the complexes was found as compared with the acids. All compounds significantly reduced the endotoxin pyretic reaction (rabbits, in a single dose of 20 mg/kg; in the case of the first two complexes half-dose was administered). Marked toxic effects were determined for Cu(II) salts when they were administered i.p. The observed biological activities of complexes are discussed in relation to their proposed structures.
