A novel compounds of 2-{[3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl] amino} N, N'-bis (aryl) pyridine-3-carboximidamide (PJS1-PJS6) were synthesized by condensation of niflumic acid with aromatic amines using most reactive Lewis reagent: polyphosphoric acid trimethyl silyl ester (PPSE). These compounds were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, HRMS-FAB and elemental analysis and evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenin- induced rat paw oedema method. Compound PJS 5 showed significant activity exhibiting comparable reduction in edema.
