A series of 5-phenyl-1-(3-pyridyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid derivatives 4-10 were synthesized by rearrangement of 4-(3-pyridyl)-hydrazono-2-phenyl-2-oxazolin-5-one 3 in the presence of different nucleophiles to afford derivatives 4, 7, and 8, while hydroxamic acid derivative 6 was prepared from reaction of methyl ester 4 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Semicarbazide 9 and thiosemicarbazide 10, derivatives of the 5-phenyl-1-(3-pyridyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid, were synthesized via hydrazide 8 with potassium cyanate and appropriate isothiocyanate, respectively. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses, IR, (1)H-NMR, and mass spectra. The results of the anti-inflammatory activity of the synthesized derivatives showed that most of the tested compounds 4-10 showed significant inhibition against carrageenan-induced rat paw edema in albino rats. Derivatives 4 and 8 showed promising results and were found to be equipotent or more potent than Indomethacin and Celecoxib as reference drugs at two dose levels, 5 and 10 mg/kg, and they have no ulcerogenic activity.
A series of fluorinated 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid derivatives was designed and synthesized as fluoroquinolone analogues. The synthesized compounds were screened against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)R(v) strain at 6.25 microg/mL concentration. Compound 4, the 7-oxo-2-(trifluoromethyl)-4,7-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid was found to be a very potent inhibitor, being able to inhibit 92% growth of M. tuberculosis H(37)R(v )at 6.25 microg/mL concentration. At the same time, it proofed to be nontoxic to mammalian cells (IC(50) > 62.5 microg/mL in VERO cells).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
