Abstract: In the present study a series of 4-methylphenylsemicarbazone was synthesized and evaluated for their antipyretic activity using boiled cow milk induced pyrexia in rabbits. Based on the results of an antipyretic study, compound 21 was the most active compound. When the phenyl group of aldehydic and acetophenic moiety of chalcone is substituted with hydroxy group the compounds exhibited better activity in comparison to substitution with the other groups like p-dimethyl amino groups. The unsubstituted compounds showed very less protection against pyrexia in comparison to the substituted compounds.


Key Words: Pyrexia, Chalcone, Hyperthermia, Cow milk, Ligandscout.
