In present work the 4-formyl pyrazole (1) were treated with 4-morpholinoacetophene (2) in the presence of aqueous KOH to give Chalcones (3). The chalcones are subjected to react with malononitrile using sodium methoxide as a base in methanol to give pyridine-3-carbonitriles (4). The synthesized chalcone and pyridine-3-carbonitrile derivatives were subjected for study of their antiinflammatory activity by the well known carrageenan induced rat paw edema method. The products 3a, 3e and 4e exhibited good activity as compared with standard diclofenac drug. The formation of all compounds was established by the spectral techniques such as Infra Red, 1 H-NMR and mass.
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.
