Five novel cinmetacin amide derivatives as potential nonsteroidal antiinflammatory and analgesic compounds were prepared and their antiinflammatory-analgesic activity was compared with cinmetacin. Cinmetacin and hydroxysuccinimide were reacted with dicyclohexyl carbodiimide to give cinmetacin active ester (4), which was treated with amines to yield cinmetacin amides (5-9). Compounds (5) and (9) gave stronger analgesic activity than cinmetacin and compounds (5), (6), (9) showed comparable antiinflammatory activity to cinmetacin.
