Seven new phthalimide derivatives (9a-g) with 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl methyl group attached to nitrogen have been synthesized from N-phthaloylglycine 6 and arylamidoximes 7a-g. All of these showed potent analgesic effect with acetic acid induced "writhing" test in mice. One of the better compounds (ID50 = 2.2 mg/Kg i.p.) has been found to be 9a which also demonstrates analgesic activity against inflammatory pain.
