Beta-aminocinnamonitriles as potential antiinflammatory agents. 1975

S A Lang, and E Cohen

A number of beta-aminocinnamonitriles have been prepared by the reaction of salts of acetonitrile and propionitrile with benzonitrile. These materials were evaluated in the carrageenan antiinflammatory screen in Royal Hart, Wistar strain rats. Despite good weight gains in the parent molecule, beta-aminocinnamonitrile (1), only marginal activity was found in related compounds and some possible "metabolites."

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009570	Nitriles	Organic compounds containing the -CN radical. The concept is distinguished from CYANIDES, which denotes inorganic salts of HYDROGEN CYANIDE.	Nitrile
D002351	Carrageenan	A water-soluble extractive mixture of sulfated polysaccharides from RED ALGAE. Chief sources are the Irish moss CHONDRUS CRISPUS (Carrageen), and Gigartina stellata. It is used as a stabilizer, for suspending COCOA in chocolate manufacture, and to clarify BEVERAGES.

D004890	Erythema	Redness of the skin produced by congestion of the capillaries. This condition may result from a variety of disease processes.	Erythemas
D006168	Guinea Pigs	A common name used for the genus Cavia. The most common species is Cavia porcellus which is the domesticated guinea pig used for pets and biomedical research.	Cavia,Cavia porcellus,Guinea Pig,Pig, Guinea,Pigs, Guinea
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014466	Ultraviolet Rays	That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
