As. Lages et al., SYNTHESIS AND PHARMACOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF NEW FLOSULIDE ANALOGS, SYNTHESIZED FROM NATURAL SAFROLE, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(2), 1998, pp. 183-188
Four new aryl-sulfonamide derivatives (3a, 4a, 5a similar to b), havin
g methylenedioxy group attached to phenyl ring, were prepared from nat
ural safrole and evaluated as anti-inflammatory agents. The (N) under
bar-methylsulfonamide 3a and corresponding retrosulfonamide derivative
5a were more active than standards indomethacin and nimesulide, at th
e same molar concentration, in carrageenan-induced pleurisy assay. (C)
