PEG mediated synthesis and biological evaluation of asymmetrical pyrazole curcumin analogues as potential analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents.

The new series of asymmetrical pyrazole curcumin analogues 4a-g were synthesized by using polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as a green reaction medium and evaluated for their in vivo analgesic and in vitro antioxidant (H2 O2 , DPPH, Ferrous reducing power and Nitric oxide scavenging activity) and anti-inflammatory activities. All the compounds synthesized 4a-g showed the potential to demonstrate analgesic activity as compared to the standard ibuprofen. Among the tested series, compounds 4e and 4b exhibited good hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity as compared to the standard butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT).

PEG mediated synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of some fluoro substituted pyrazoline derivatives as antiinflammatory and analgesic agents.

A new series of fluoro substituted pyrazoline derivatives 5a-g and 6a-g were synthesized in good to excellent yield from the corresponding pyrazole chalcones, 4a-g, by using polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400) as an alternative reaction medium. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized and screened for their in vivo antiinflammatory and analgesic activity. Compounds 5g and 6g were found to be more potent than standard drug Diclofenac and six other compounds 5b, 5c, 5f, 6b, 6c and 6f showed significant antiinflammatory activity as compared to standard drug.
