title: Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of some 3-phenacyl-5-benzylidene-thiazolidine-2,4-diones.
abstract: The synthesis of 54 3-phenacyl-5-benzylidene-thiazolidine-2,4-diones is reported. Eight of them were tested for anti-oedema, analgesic and anticonvulsant activity. Only one compound showed significant anti-oedematous and analgesic activity. Three compounds protected against tonic seizures and death.
