Astilbes rhizoma has been used for headache, arthralgia, chronic bronchitis and stomachalgia in traditional chinese medicine. The analgesic activities and their components of Astilbe chinensis var. davidii Rhizomes were evaluated. The ether and ethylacetate fractions of 70% EtOH extract showed considerable analgesic activities by acetic acid induced writhing method. Compound $1{\sim}5$ were isolated from ethylacetate fraction and identified as gallic acid, (+)-catechin, (+)-gallocatechin, bergenin and 11-O-galloylbergenin on the basis of spectroscopic methods. Among them (+)-gallocatechin showed stronger analgesic activity than that of other compounds.

Loxoprofen-Na (sodium 2-〔4-(2-oxocyclopentylmethyl)pheny)propionate dihydrate) is a potent analgesic drug. We developed loxoprofen-Na plasters to extend duration time of analgesic activity and to reduce side effect on gastrointestinal tract. Analgesic effect of Loxoprofen-Na plasters was investigated. Loxoprofen-Na plaster had good analgesic effect in rat paw pressure test, Tail-flick latency test and acetic acid-induced writhing test. Also, it had anti-inflammatory effect on carrageenan-induced rat hind paw edema. In pharmacokinetic study of Loxoprofen-Na, plasters dosage form showed that plasma drug concentration was prolonged up to 14 hours. So, we can conclude that loxoprofen-Na plasters, when applied on skin, will be a new type of drug for controlling the various local pain or inflammation.

Two prescriptions of 'Ssanghwa-Tang', Korean traditional medicine, and their individual crude drugs were studied on the analgesic and the anticonvulsionary effects. Two prescriptions showed very significant analgesic effects and the prescription B was more effective. Individual crude drugs had decreasing effects on the convulsion-start-time, but two prescriptions did not show significant activities.

Trema orientalis Linn. is commonly grown in many parts of Bangladesh. Its leaves have been used for analgesic and anti-diarrhoeal activity in traditional medicine. This study evaluates the potential analgesic and anti-diarrhoeal activity of methanol and aqueous extracts of leaves in experimental acetic acid induced writhing and castor oil induced diarrhoea in mice. The aqueous extract of leaves showed significant (P < 0.001) analgesic effect in acetic acid induced writhing in mice at a dose of 500 mg/kg body weight In castor oil induced antidiarrhoeal screening both extract increased latent period (P < 0.025) and decrease the number of stool (P < 0.025) at the dose of 500 mg/kg body weight comparable with that of the standard drug loperamide. The results provide a support for the use of this plant in traditional medicine and suggest its further investigation.

Among the new series of phenylacetamides, one of capsaicin derivatives, KR-25018 was found to have a very potent analgesic activity. Thus, the phamacological properties of KR-25018 were compared with those of morphine, capsaicin, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The analgesic activities were evaluated in several animal models, using different stimuli, such as phenylbenzoquinone(PBQ)-induced weithing test, tail-filck test in mice and adjuvant arthritic flexion test in rat. The relationship of phamacological properties of KR-25018 to that of centrally acting opioids was assessed by the blocking test using naloxone. The analgesic potency of the KR-25018 $(MPED_{50}=0.89{\;}p.o.{\;}in{\;}PBQ-induced{\;}weithing{\;}test, {\;}MPED_{50}$=0.61$ s.c. in tail-flick test in mice0, with different action mechanism from morphine and NSAIDs, was comparable to that of morphine.

Studies were undertaken to develop for the anti-inflammatory analgesic activities of 'Insam-Tang' extract, which composed of four crude drugs; Ginseng Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix, Atractylodis Rhizoma, and Zingiberis Rhizoma, was known to be applied in edema, convulsion, excremental blood, and cooling pain etc, in oriental herb remedies. It was exhibited significant anti-inflammatory effect on carrageenin inflammation, and preventive and therapeutic effects to chronic inflammation on Freund' complete adjuvant in rats, Especially, therapeutic effect of extract 500mg/kg was observed more effective than that of phenylbutazone 50mg/kg. Also, it was shown significant effect on leakage of dye into the peritoneal cavity and analgesic effect on squirm symptom induced by acetic acid in mice.

Analgesic and antiinflammatory activities of several herbal medicines were investigated in order to develop the antiinflammatory drugs from oriental herbal medicines. 80% Ethanol extracts of Ephedra sinica, Chaenoleles sinensis, Asiasarum siboldi, Nelumbo nucifera, Scolopendra subspinipes mutians, Evodia officinalis, Aremarrhenae asphodeloides, Bufo bufo gargarizans, Gardenia jasminoides, Piper longum, Carthamus tinctorius, Piperus nigrum, Magnolia officinalis and Siegesbeckia glabrescens showed significant inhibitory effects on hyaluronidase, trypsin, and albumin denaturation in vitro. They also decreased the acetic acid-induced pain and vascular permeability induced by histamine in mice.

Leaves and stem of Viburnum sargentii for. sterile(Caprifoliaceae) has been used as therapeutic agents as a pain of the joints, skin disease as styptics, analgesics for traditional folk medicines. The present study describes the preliminary evaluation of biological activities-analgesic, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective activities, of its methanol extract, ethyl acetate fraction and butanol fraction. Among them butanol fraction showed the highest activity in inflammation and writhing test.

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.
