The synthesized compounds were characterized by using various spectroscopic techniques and furthermore screened for their anti-inflammatory activity by using anti-denaturation of heat bovine serum albumin (BSA) method. The result of bioassay indicated that p-methoxycinnamamide derivatives and p-methoxy-?-nitrostyrenes showed interesting anti-inflammatory activity.} }
