Abstract

A series of 3-arylidene-5-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2 (3H)-furanones (2–13) and their nitrogen analogues 1-benzylpyrrolones (14–18) were synthesized. The compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation actions. Some of the newly synthesized compounds showed good anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities with low GI toxicity and reduced lipid peroxidation. The biological activity was found to ...
