title: [Synthesis of 2-methoxynaphthalene derivatives as potential anti-inflammatory agents].
abstract: Compounds having 2-methoxynaphthalene as their parent nucleus were synthesized and evaluated for antiinflammatory effect according to the carrageenin paw edema method in rats. The synthetic routes for the preparation of isomeric 1,2- and 2,6-disubstituted derivatives are described. Replacement of the alpha-methylacetic moiety in naproxen by 4-hydroxybutyric acid side chain did not cause loss of activity.
