A number of arylbiurets were prepared and evaluated as antiinflammatory and analgesic agents by using the carrageenan paw edema and acetic acid stretching tests. Among them, the antiinflammatory activity of 1,3-dimethyl-5-phenylbiuret (7), 1-ethyl-3-methyl-5-phenylbiuret (11), and 1,1,3-trimethyl-5-phenylbiuret (13) were found to be more potent than phenylbutazone. The analgesic activity of 7 and of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,1,3-trimethylphenylbiuret (16) is higher than that of aminopyrine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
