Abstract
Starting from 1,6-diamino-3,5-dicyano-4-aryl-2-pyridones, substituted triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines and 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives have been synthesized. All the synthesized compounds were fully characterized by spectroscopic, physical data, and elemental analyses. Some of triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines were tested with respect to their analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. All tested compounds exhibited analgesic activities comparable or superior to Valdecoxib. The anti-inflammatory activity was present in all the tested compounds as well and exceeded that of Hydrocortisone.
