Some isoxazole-based amides were synthesized by the reaction of 3-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-methylisoxazole-4-carbonyl chloride with various aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic amines; characterized by analysis of spectroscopic data and evaluated for in vivo anti-inflammatory, ulcerogenic, and antimicrobial activity. Compounds A1, A7, and A10 were identified as the potent anti-inflammatory agents in carrageenan-induced
