Synthesis of novel phosphorylated guanidine derivatives from cyanamide and their anti-inflammatory activity.

A series of novel guanidine derivatives were synthesized in three steps and their anti-inflammatory activities in vitro and in vivo evaluated. 2-Aminopyridin-3-ol (1) was reacted with thiophosphoryl chloride (2) to give a monochloride (3). It was further reacted with cyanamide to afford the corresponding cyanamine (4), which was subsequently reacted with different heterocyclic amines to form the title compounds (5a-l).

Evaluation of Eye Irritation Potential of Aqueous Leaf Extract of Achyranthes aspera by In Vitro and In Vivo Method.

The present paper is an attempt to investigate the eye irritation potential of aqueous leaf extract of Achyranthes aspera by in vitro, Hen's Egg Chorioallantoic Membrane Test (HET-CAM) and in vivo acute eye irritation test in rabbits. The irritation score (IS) obtained after treatment of the extract on HET-CAM is 0.07 and that of in rabbits is 0.
