Abstract
Replenishing the range of natural and synthetic medicinal substances with different anti-inflammatory activity is an urgent task of modern pharmaceuticals. Studying the anti-inflammatory activity of chemical compounds through bioscreening and in vitro and in vivo studies is a lengthy and labor-intensive procedure. This paper presents the data on the antyinflammatory activity of nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds on a model of acute exudative reaction (peritonitis) and comparison of the obtained data with the results of ab initio quantum chemical calculations using the density functional theory method. Among the 16 studied compounds, 7 representatives were identified with the highest potential antyinflammatory action.
