A new series of pyrazole-hydrazone derivatives 4a-i were designed and synthesized, their chemical structures were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS spectral data and elemental analysis. IC50 values for all prepared compounds to inhibit COX-1, COX-2 and 5-LOX enzymes were determined in vitro. Compounds 4a (IC50=0.67μM) and 4b (IC50=0.58μM) showed better COX-2 inhibitory activity than celecoxib (IC50=0.87μM) with selectivity index (SI=8.41, 10.55 in sequent) relative to celecoxib (SI=8.85). Also, compound 4a and 4b exhibited superior inhibitory activity against 5-LOX (IC50=1.92, 2.31μM) higher than zileuton (IC50=2.43μM). All target pyrazoles were screened for their ability to reduce nitric oxide production in LPS stimulated peritoneal macrophages. Compounds 4a, 4b, 4f and 4i displayed concentration dependent reduction and were screened for in vivo anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan-induced rat paw edema assay. Compound 4f showed the highest anti-inflammatory activity (% edema inhibition=15-20%) at all doses when compared to reference drug celecoxib (% edema inhibition=15.7-17.5%). Docking studies were carried out to investigate the interaction of target compounds with COX-2 enzyme active site.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.

D001094 Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 5-hydroperoxyarachidonate (5-HPETE) which is rapidly converted by a peroxidase to 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoate (5-HETE).
