Male Wistar rats weighing 150 to 160 g (n=3-5) were used in the experiment. After the right hind paw volume was measured with the plethysmograph (TK-101; Unicom Co., Ltd.), the test compound (25, 50 or 100 mg/kg) was orally administered. After one hour, 0.1 ml of 1% carrageenin (.lambda.-carrageenin; PICNIN-A.RTM., Zushi Kagaku Co., Ltd.) was subcutaneously injected into the right hind paw footpad. Three hours after the injection of carrageenin, the right hind paw volume was measured and the swelling rate was determined by the following equation 1. ##EQU1## Vt: the right hind paw volume measured 3 hours after the injection of carrageenin
Vo: the right hind paw volume measured prior to the injection of carrageenin

c) Effect on Type III allergic reaction-induced pleurisy
1. Preparation of IgG fraction of rabbit anti-egg white albumin (anti-OA)
IgG was purified from rabbit anti-OA serum prepared in advance by the method of Koda et al. [Folia Pharmacol., Japon 66, 237, (1970)] in the following manner.
A saturated solution of ammonium sulfate (half volume of the serum) was added to the anti-OA serum, and the mixture was left for one hour at 4.degree. C. The precipitate was taken by centrifugation (3,000 rpm, 30 min. 4.degree. C.) and dissolved in phosphate buffer of Dulbecco. Then, ammonium sulfate fractionation was carried out three times in the same manner as above, whereby a purified IgG fraction was obtained.
2. Type III allergic reaction-induced pleurisy
Male Wistar rats weighing 225-250 g were pre-bred for several days and fasted overnight prior to the experiment. The test compound (100 mg/kg) was orally administered to the animals, and after 30 minutes, a solution of IgC of rabbit anti-OA (0.2 ml, 5 mg protein/ml) was injected into the pleural cavity of the animals from the right side of thorax under anesthesia with ether. Thirty minutes after the injection of IgG, OA (albumin egg grade III; Sigma Chemical Co.) was intravenously injected into the animals as an inducer of pleurisy. After two hours, Evans Blue (25 mg/kg) was intravenously injected, and four and a half hours after the induction of pleurisy, the animals were killed by bleeding.
Then, an exudate in the pleural cavity was obtained, and the volume of the exudate was measured. The pleural cavity was rinsed with 5 ml of physiological saline and the rinsings were added to the exudate. The number of infiltrated cells in the mixture was counted and the volume of the dye in the mixture was determined by the absorption at 625 nm [Agent Actions., 25, 326 (1988)]. The suppression rates for the volume of the exudate, the number of infiltrated cells and the volume of the dye in the pleural cavity were calculated by the following equation 3. ##EQU3## S.V: the value obtained with the group administered with the test compound and in which pleurisy is induced
N.V: the value obtained with the group in which pleurisy is not induced
P.V: the value obtained with the group administered with no test compound and in which pleurisy is induced
The results are shown in Table 3.

d) Effect on passive Schultz-Dale reaction (broncho-dilative activity)
Male Hartley guinea pigs weighing 350 to 500 g were passively sensitized by intraperitoneal injection of rabbit anti-OA serum prepared in advance by the method of Koda et al. [Folia Pharmacol., Japon 66, 237, (1970)]. After 24 hours, the guinea pigs were stunned and exsanguinated, and then tracheae were removed. The zig-zag strips of the tracheae were prepared by the method of Emmerson and Mackay [J. Pharm. Pharmacol., 31, 798, (1979)]. The strips were suspended in Krebs-Henseleit solution at 37.degree. C. under aeration of a mixed gas of 95% oxygen and 5% carbon dioxide, and equilibrated for one hour. Then, antigen (egg white albumin) was introduced in the solution (final concentration; 1 .mu.g/ml), and the contraction was measured by isotonictransducer (TD-112s, made by Nihon Kohden K.K., Japan) and recorded on a recorder (Type 3066, made by Yokogawa-Hokushin Denki, K.K. Japan). After the contraction curves reached a plateau, the test compounds were successively added in order to get cumulative concentration-relaxation curves. The concentration of 50% relaxation rate (IC.sub.50) was calculated from the regression line, which was obtained from the cumulative concentration-relaxation curves.
The results are shown in Table 4.

e) Inhibition effect on platelet activating factor (PAF)-induced mortality
The experiment was carried out by a minor modification of a known method [Br. J. Pharmacol., 79, 595 (1983)]. Groups each consisting of 10 male dd mice (weighing 28 to 32 g) were used, and 50 or 100 mg/kg of the test compound or a saline (control) was orally administered. One hour after the administration of test compound, 40 .mu.g/kg of PAF (manufactured by Avanti Polar Lipids Co., Ltd.) was intravenously administered. Three hours after PAF injection, the mortality of the animals was observed. The compound whose mortality was significantly (Fischer's accurate probability tests) lower than control is regarded as having inhibitory effect on PAF-induced mortality, and the results are shown in Table 5 as survival rate.

3-Carboxymethyl-5-phenyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-c][1,8]naphthyridin-4(5H)-one (Compound 17)
The same procedure as in Example 4 was repeated except that tert-butyl bromoacetate was used instead of methyl iodide, whereby 3-tert-butyloxycarbonylmethyl-5-phenyl-3H[4,5-c][1,8]naphthyridin-4(5H)-one (Compound 101) was obtained (yield 55%).
Compound 101(3.6 g) was dissolved in 180 ml of methylene chloride, and 80 ml of trifluoroacetic acid was added to the solution under ice cooling. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was suspended in water and 4N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was added to dissolve the residue.
