Several new benzofuran derivatives were synthesized, via appropriate synthetic route as anti-inflammatory agents. The anti-inflammatory activity of the prepared compounds was evaluated using carrageenan rat model. Among the synthesized compounds, some compounds showed comparable anti-inflammatory activity to nimesulide, the standard drug taken for anti-inflammatory studies. Docking study of the prepared compounds was performed for the study of interaction of molecules with the active site of COX-2. Preliminary biological studies and docking gave an interesting insight, into the validity of employing benzofuran analogues as good anti-inflammatory agent. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
