Abstract
Novel 3-substituted-1-aryl-5-phenyl-6-anilino-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones of pharmacological significance were synthesized by the reaction of ethyl-(5-amino-3-methylthio-1-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-pyrazole)-4-carboxylates 3a-c with S-methyl diphenyl thiourea independently to produce 1-aryl-3-thiomethyl-5-phenyl-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines 4a-c in DMF with catalytic amount of K(2)CO(3), which on further treatment with different aromatic amines independently under same reaction conditions generated for compounds 5a-l. The compounds were screened for the anti-inflammatory activity and evaluated for ulcerogenic potential. The compounds 5i exhibited superior anti-inflammatory activity in comparison with diclofenac sodium and comparable activity with celecoxib at a dose of 25mg/kg. The other compounds 4c, 5c, 5f and 5l were found as active with inhibition of edema in the range of 35-39 after 3 h of administration of test compounds. The ulcerogenic potential of active compounds was observed to be quite lesser as compared to standard. COX-2 docking score of the active compound 5i was found to be better than standard celecoxib.
