Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology. 1982 Jul-Sep; 26(3): 207-14http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/108049The anti-inflammatory activity of 6-methoxyindan-1-acetic acid (1a) and 5,6-dimethoxyindan-1-acetic acid (1b) was evaluated in various acute, subacute and chronic models of inflammation. The results of these studies suggest that they have equal or slightly more anti-inflammatory activity than phenylbutazone, a standard anti-inflammatory drug. Of the two compounds, 5,6-dimethoxyindan-l-acetic acid appeared to be slightly more active than 6-methoxyindan-l-acetic acid.engAnimalsAnti-Inflammatory Agents --therapeutic useArthritis, Experimental --drug therapyEdema --chemically inducedGranuloma --drug therapyHindlimbIndans --therapeutic useIndenes --therapeutic useMalePhenylbutazone --therapeutic useRatsRats, Inbred StrainsJournal Article
