. A series of compounds related to 4-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl) butan-2-one has been prepared and tested for antiinflammatory activity by the cotton pellet granuloma method. Compounds possessing a small lipophilic group such as methoxyl, methyl, or chloro in the 6 position in conjunction with a butan-% one side chain in the 2 position of the naphthalene ring were most active.
