Abstract:

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.
