In search for new antiinflammatory agents, a series of 2-(E)-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-5-(N-substituted aminomethyl) cyclopentanones was synthesized via Stork reaction, Mannich reaction and amine exchange reaction. All of the fifteen target compounds were characterized by spectral analysis and elemental analysis. Preliminary pharmacological tests showed that several target compounds exerted appreciable effect on xylene-induced ear edema in mice and that alteration of the substituents of anilines showed significant influence on antiinflammatory potency.
