Synthesis and biological evaluation of some hydroxypyrazole derivatives as anti-inflammatory-antimicrobial agents

Some hydroxypyrazole derivatives 2-7 were synthesized by cyclocondensation of the keto-ester 1 with hydrazines hydrate or substituted hydrazines followed by reduction and acylation with acetic anhydride or trifluoroacetic anhydride. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial activities. In addition, the ulcerogenic and acute toxicity profiles were determined. Compounds N-(4-(5-hydroxy-1-trifluoroacetyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenyl) trifluoroacetamide 4b, 3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-ol 5b, and N-(4-(5-hydroxy-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenyl)trifluoroacetamide 7b were proved to be the most active anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial agents in the present study with a good safety margin and minimal or no ulcerogenic effect.
