title: Synthesis and anti-inflammatory evaluation of methylene bridged benzofuranyl imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles.
abstract: A series of 6-substituted and 5,6-disubstituted 2-(6-methyl-benzofuran-3-ylmethyl)-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles have been synthesized. The new compounds have been tested for their in vivo analgesic, anti-inflammatory activities. Qualitative SAR studies indicate that the chloro substitution in the imidazole ring and introduction of formyl group at C-5 position of the imidazole ring increased the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. All the newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by spectral data and ORTEP diagram of one of the intermediates 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(6-methyl-benzofuran-3-ylmethyl)-5-morpholin-4-ylmethyl imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole is reported herein.
