Synthesis and biological evaluation of some novel sulfamoylphenyl-pyridazinone as anti-inflammatory agents (Part-II * ).

Abstract

Seven novel 6-aryl-2-(p-sulfamoylphenyl)-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-ones (2a-g) were synthesized by the condensation of appropriate aroylpropionic acid and 4-hydrazinobenzenesulfonamide hydrochloride in ethanol. Structure of all compounds have been elucidated by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, DEPT and MS spectrscopy. These compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model. Compound 2b exhibited anti-inflammatory activity comparable to that of celecoxib (at 5 h). Two other compounds 2d and 2g showed promising anti-inflammatory activity (edema reduction more than 80% at 5 h). These compounds (2b, 2d and 2g) did not produce any ulceration in gastric region.
