title: Anti-inflammatory activity of some novel alpha-amino naphthalene derivatives.
abstract: alpha-Acetylamino naphthalene (1) was reacted with different aromatic aldehydes and with primary or secondary amines to give alpha-aminonaphthylsubstitutedaryl chalkones (2-5) and alpha-(substituted aminoethyl)-amidonaphthalenes (14-25), respectively. These substituted chalkones were treated with hydrazinehydrate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride to give 1-acetyl-5-substitutedaryl-3-(alpha-aminonaphthyl)-2-pyrazolines (6-9) and alpha-(2-substitutedaryl-isoxazolin-4-yl)-aminonaphthalenes (10-13), respectively. Their chemical structures were confirmed by IR and 1H-NMR spectral data and elemental analysis. Studies of the anti-inflammatory and ulcerogenic activities and acute toxicity of these newly synthesized compounds were performed in vivo and compared with the standard drug, phenylbutazone (CAS 50-33-9). Some of these compounds showed potent anti-inflammatory activity and less ulcerogenic effects than phenylbutazone.
