1-Naphthylacetamide is an orally active nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NAIA) and also an indole-type auxin plant growth regulator. 1-Naphthylacetamide inhibits inflammatory response-related pathways and modulates plant hormone signaling, exhibiting anti-inflammatory, local anesthetic, antispasmodic, analgesic, and diuretic activities. 1-Naphthylacetamide promotes plant cell expansion, differentiation, and fruit enlargement. Additionally, 1-Naphthylacetamide induces central nervous system (CNS) depression in mice, characterized by reduced spontaneous activity, decreased irritability, decreased muscle tone, and attenuated ear-cuff reflex, ipsilateral flexor reflex, and corneal reflex[1][2].
