Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of 2-substituted-((N,N-disubstituted)-1,3-benzoxazole)-5-carboxamides

A series of 2-substituted-((N,N-disubstituted)-1,3-benzoxazole)-5-carboxamides derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of 2-substituted-5-carbomethoxy benzoxazole with different secondary amines.The newly synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of spectral(FT-IR,1H NMR,MS) & elemental analysis.All these compounds were screened for anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan induced rat paw edema method.All of these compounds exhibited significant activity.Among the tested compounds Ve,Vg,Vf and Va were considered to have potent anti-inflammatory activity and was comparable with standard.
