title: Pharmacological properties of 2-[4-(2-thiazolyloxy)-phenyl]-propionic acid (480156-S), a new non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent.
abstract: In terms of antiinflammatory activity in acute and chronic animal models, 2-[4-(2-thiazolyloxy)-phenyl]-propionic acid (480156-S) was more active than ibuprofen but inferior to indomethacin. The analgesic activities of 480156-S measured by the writhing method and the Randall & Selitto method were comparable or superior to those of indomethacin, diclofenac-Na and ketoprofen. 480156-S also had strong antagonistic action against bradykinin, markedly inhibiting all bradykinin-induced edema and pain reactions (tail licking in mice and flexor reflex of rabbit hind limb). On scald-induced pain in which bradykinin is greatly involved, 480156-S had an obviously stronger analgesic effect than any of the reference drugs. As for its effects on prostaglandin (PG), 480156-S weakly inhibited arachidonic acid-induced edema and pain reactions but also inhibited PGE2 synthesis of bovine vesicular gland microsomes.
