title: Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of 5-(4-[aryl(aryl azo)methyleneamino]phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thiones.
abstract: Various new formazans of substituted oxadiazole 2(3H)-thiones were tested for their anti-inflammatory activity against carrageenin-induced paw oedema in albino rats. Among these, two most potent derivatives were evaluated in detail using cotton pellet implantation methods in albino rats of either sex. These two active analogues were also tested for their analgesic activity in albino mice and ulcerogenic liability in albino rats. The toxicity of the compounds was assessed by determination of their approximate LD50 value in albino mice. An attempt has also been made to establish the structure-activity relationship.
