Pain and inflammation are major health issues worldwide, leading to negative consequences. Despite several drugs being available to manage these conditions, their effectiveness can be limited by cost, adverse reactions, and potential tolerance and dependence with long-term use. Euphorbia characias traditionally used in folk medicine for its diverse biological activities - including antiproliferative, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory effects - has not been extensively studied in vivo for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Both classes present a variety of side effects that limit usage. Thus, the search for new molecules with anti-inflammatory potential is still important.

Methods: A subcutaneous air pouch model (SAP) was used.
species are highly important due to their economic significance as medicines, fodder and food. is an endemic species to Kazakhstan. In folk medicine, water extract of was used in the treatment of bronchial asthma while the alcohol extract has larvicidal and antituberculosis activity.

Convolutamydine A has been shown to develop a significant antinociceptive effect. Here we demonstrated that new analogues (5-iodo-3-(2-oxopropyl)-3-hydroxy-2-oxindole (5-Iisa), 5-fluoro-3-(2-oxopropyl)-3-hydroxy-2-oxindole (5-Fisa), 5-chloro-3-(2-oxopropyl)-3-hydroxy-2-oxindole (5-Clisa) and 5-methyl-3-(2-oxopropyl)-3-hydroxy-2-oxindole (5-Meisa)), at 0.1-10mg/kg doses, have significant peripheral and central antinociceptive effects in thermal and chemical models of nociception.
