1, 4, 5-Trialkyl Imidazole System Anti-inflammatory Properties of New Substituted Derivatives

Abstract

In an investigation of the anti-inflammatory properties of five-membered ring nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, two series of derivatives of imidazole were prepared by altering the sites of substitution and by joining aliphatic chains to the nitrogen atom in the 1 position of the imidazole ring. Some of them were more potent inhibitors of carragenan-induced edema than indomethacin. An electron spin resonance study indicated that these compounds possess anti-radical activity.
