Abstract

The use of high dose of NSAID is accompanied by a number of side effects in disease conditions such as jaundice, loss of consciousness, liver damage and death. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) like aspirin, paracetamol and diclofenac are known for their widely valued pharmacological properties; however, they are toxic to the bio systems. One can overcome this limitation by decreasing the solubility of NSAID in aqueous phase. In the present study, salicylic acid and anthranilic acid have been modified as lipids PSA and N-PAA by a simple esterification / amidation reaction of the respective acid with palmitoyl chloride. On screening for the pharmacological activity, PSA has been found to exhibit potent and persistent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, while N-PAA, demonstrated novel analgesic and antipyretic effects.
