In order to reduce the gastric irritation caused by direct contact mechanism of the carboxylic acid group, a series of glycolamide esters of niflumic acid (CAS 4394-00-7) (1) have been prepared as bio-labile prodrugs by reacting appropriate 2-chloroacetamides with niflumic acid. The required 2-chloroacetamides were obtained by the condensation of chloroacetyl chloride and corresponding amine. Their structures were confirmed by UV, IR and 1H NMR spectra. Selected compounds were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan induced paw oedema in rats at the doses of 45, 90 and 150 mg/kg b.w. Prodrugs showed comparable anti-inflammatory activity (67.1-79.4%) at 150 mg/kg b.w. with respect to niflumic acid (70.3%) at 45 mg/kg b.w., indicating moderate release of niflumic acid in vivo. The highest activity was observed with diethylamine (4) and pyrrolidine (9) derivatives.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

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.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
