Abstract

Several 4-cyano-1-benzofuranyl-1-butanone derivatives were synthesized and screened for potential antiinflammatory and analgesic activities. The effect of structural variation of these molecules on biological activities was systematically examined. Among these compounds $V_a,\;V_c\;and\;VI_e$ were found to demonstrate a significant antiinflammatory effect. Compounds $VI_e,\;V_a,\;I_d,\;I_band\;VII_f$ were also significantly effective as analgesic ones.
