[Research on heterocyclic compounds. VI. Imidazo(1,2-b)pyridazine derivatives].

The preparation of a group of imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-2-carboxylic and -2-acetic acids is reported. The ethyl esters of these acids were prepared by reaction of some 3-aminopyridazines with ethyl bromopyruvate or 4-bromoacetoacetate. The acids were obtained by hydrolysis of the corresponding esters, and their anti-inflammatory activity was tested.
