Effect of 5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles on chronic inflammatory pain model in rats.

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used for treatment of arthritis. However, their long-term use has been associated with considerable morbidity, limiting their application. Thus, there remains a need to develop new drugs for the effective and safe relief of chronic inflammatory pain.

Ultrasound promoted synthesis of 2-imidazolines in water: a greener approach toward monoamine oxidase inhibitors.

A series of sixteen 2-substituted-2-imidazolines (where the substituent R=Ph, Me-4-Ph; MeO-4-Ph; (MeO)(2)-3,4-Ph; (MeO)(3)-3,4,5-Ph; Ph-4-O-C(O)-Ph; Cl-4-Ph; Cl-2-Ph; Cl(2)-2,4-Ph; NO(2)-4-Ph; NO(2)-3-Ph; Naphth-2-yl; Fur-2-yl; Benzofur-2-yl; Pyridin-2-yl; Quinolin-2-yl) has been synthesized from the reaction of the substituted-aldehydes and ethylenediamine by ultrasound irradiation with NBS in an aqueous medium in high yields (80-99%). The 2-imidazoline ability to inhibit the activity of the A and B isoforms of monoamine oxidase (MAO) was investigated and some of them showed potent and selective MAO inhibitory activity especially for the MAO-B isoform and could become promising candidates for future development.

Antinociceptive effect of novel trihalomethyl-substituted pyrazoline methyl esters in formalin and hot-plate tests in mice.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antinociceptive potential of four novel pyrazoline methyl ester compounds on chemical and thermal models of pain in mice. The following 5-trihalomethylated-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole methyl ester compounds were tested: 3-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-(MPF3), 4-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-(MPF4), 3-methyl-5-trichloromethyl-(MPCl3) and 4-methyl-5-trichloromethyl-(MPCl4). MPF3, MPF4, MPCl3 and MPCl4 (0.

Design and microwave-assisted synthesis of 5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles: novel agents with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

In this work, we reported the synthesis and evaluation of the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of novel 3- or 4-substituted 5-trifluoromethyl-5-hydroxy-4,5-dihydro-1H-1-carboxyamidepyrazoles (where 3-/4-substituent=H/H, Me/H, Et/H, Pr/H, i-Pr/H, Bu/H, t-Bu/H, Ph/H, 4-Br-Ph/H and H/Me) designed in the exploration of the bioisosteric replacement of benzene present in salicylamide with a 5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole scaffold. Target compounds were synthesized from the cyclocondensation of 4-alkoxy-1,1,1-trifluoromethyl-3-alken-2-ones with semicarbazide hydrochloride through a rapid one-pot reaction via microwave irradiation. In addition to spectroscopic data, the structure of the compounds was supported by X-ray diffraction.

A pyrazolyl-thiazole derivative causes antinociception in mice.

The present study investigates the antinociceptive effect of the pyrazolyl-thiazole derivative 2-(5-trichloromethyl-5-hydroxy-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-(4-bromophenyl)-5-methylthiazole (B50) in mice. Male albino Swiss mice (30-40 g) were used in the acetic acid-induced abdominal writhes and tail-immersion tests. B50 caused dose-dependent antinociception (8, 23 and 80 micromol/kg, s.
