Summary:

       Using rat paw dextran-induced and carrageenan- induced edemas, the antiedematous activities of dihydrate of diaquatetrakis(p-cresotato)dicopper(II) complex (CupC) and diaquabis(p-cresotato)zinc(II) complex (ZnpC) were assayed plethysmometrically. Dihydrate of diaquabis(salicyla- to)copper(II) complex (CuS) and diaquabis(salicylato)zinc(II) complex (ZnS) were used as standards of comparison. All compounds were applied i.p. in a single dose of 50 mmol/kg body weight (calculated for the RCOO-fragment) 30 min before injecting the irritant. The antidextran/anticarrageenan activities of the species (expressed as a mean edema reduction) were found: CupC 46/74 % – ZnpC 50/26 % – CuS 71/52 % – ZnS 63/10 %. The relationships between the coordination-chemical properties and the biological effects of the corresponding complexes are discussed.

        Key words: copper(II) and zinc(II)p-cresotates – rat paw dextran-induced and carrageenan-induced edemas – anti-inflammatory activity
