A novel series of pyrazoles containing benzenesulfonamides, 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiones, 4-substituted-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones, and 2-substituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles has been synthesized. Anti-inflammatory activity of some synthesized compounds was evaluated in vivo utilizing a standard acute carrageenan-induced paw edema method. The most active anti-inflammatory agents 3, 8f, and 10f were evaluated for ulcerogenic liability in rats compared to indomethacin and celecoxib as reference standards. Molecular modeling studies were initiated herein to validate the attained pharmacological data and provide understandable evidence for the observed anti-inflammatory behavior.
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.
