title: Synthesis, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of novel 3-(4-acetamido-benzyl)-5-substituted-1,2,4-oxadiazoles.
abstract: A series of 3-(4-acetamido-benzyl)-5-substituted-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (7a-7n) were synthesized and screened for analgesic and in vivo anti-inflammatory activities using acetic acid writhing in mice model and carrageenan-induced paw oedema method in mice, respectively. The analgesic activity of compounds 7i and 7m is superior while that of 7d, 7c, 7f and 7j is equal to the reference standard, diclofenac sodium. The anti-inflammatory activity of compounds 6, 7c, 7e, 7f, 7i, 7l, 7m and 7n is found to be superior than that of diclofenac sodium which is used as a reference, while compounds 7d and 7g are found to be equipotent with the reference compound.
