RESUMEN
Clinically equivalent doses of dapsone, sulphasalasine and sulphamethizole in albino rats showed significant (P < 0.05) anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan and cotton pellet induced inflammation. Their activity was comparable to that of aspirin (200 mg/kg) and was confirmed by granuloma histology. Further, these compounds also showed significant (P < 0.01) analgesic activity which was comparable to that of aspirin. The ulcer index for sulphamethizole was comparable to that of control animals, whereas dapsone and sulphasalazine showed significant ulcerogenicity (P < 0.01). Other sulphonamides like sulphadiazine, sulphanilamide, sulphamoxole and cotrimoxazole did not show significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities.
