title: Synthesis, analgesic and anti inflammatory activities of some new fenamate analogues.
abstract: A series of fenamate quinazolinyl analogues, viz acids 6a-d, esters 6e-h, carbohydrazides 7a-d, arylidenes 8a-d, oxadiazol-2-ones 13a-d and oxadiazol-2-thiones 14a-d, have been prepared and screened for their analgesic (acetic acid-induced writhing), anti-inflammatory (carrageenan-induced rat paw edema) activities as well as their ulcerogenic effects. All the final compounds except 7a-d and 8a-d showed good dual activities. Compounds 6a, 6b, 6e, 6f, 13a and 14a showed activities comparable to that of mefenamic acid (CAS 61-68-7) in the acetic acid-induced writhing model as well as in the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema test at a dose level of 100 mg/ kg.Compounds 6a and 6b were highly ulcerogenic, while compounds 6e, 6f, 13a and 14a exhibited the lowest ulcerogenic effects.
