Synthesis of new 5-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-d][1,2,4]-triazine derivatives and their analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties.

A series of 2-aryl-4-oxo-pyrazolo[1,5-d][1,2,4]triazines substituted in the 5-position by aminoalkyl or benzoyl moieties was synthesized and evaluated for analgesic activity. The structures of new triazine derivatives were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR spectra and by elementary analysis. In the phenylbenzoquinone induced writhing test, only 3,3a-dihydropyrazolo triazines substituted by an arylpiperazinylmethyl group exhibited potent analgesic effect. In addition, these compounds possessed significant anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. A desaturation in 3,3a positions or other groups than arylpiperazinylmethyl moieties notably decreased analgesic effects.

Synthesis of Mannich bases of arylidenepyridazinones as analgesic agents.

A series of 5-arylidenepyridazin-3-ones substituted in the 2-position by an arylpiperazinoalkyl moiety (2-16) was synthesized and evaluated for analgesic activity. In the phenylbenzoquinone-induced writhing test, Mannich bases 2-14 were the most active compounds (6.1 < or = ED50 < or = 43.0 mg/kg, orally; ED50 is the half-maximal effective dose). Pyridazinones 8 and 9, with a 3-chlorophenylpiperazinomethyl substituent, also exhibited significant anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. The activities in the phenylbenzoquinone-induced writhing test were subjected to a Hansch analysis, and a significant correlation with lipophilicity and Hammett's constants was obtained.

Synthesis and aldose reductase inhibitory activity of triazine derivatives possessing acetic acid group.

N-Acetic acid derivatives of 6-aryl-pyrazolo-triazin-4-ones were synthesized for evaluation as new aldose reductase inhibitors. The intrinsic activity of each compound was assessed by measuring the inhibition of enzymatic activity in an isolated pig lens enzyme preparation. All the prepared compounds exhibited a significant in vitro aldose reductase inhibitory effect (10(-6) M less than or equal to IC50 less than or equal to 10(-4) M). Furthermore, biological activity (log 1/IC50) for most of the data sets could be correlated directly to electronic and steric parameters. Finally, spatial configuration of the most active derivative 6c (IC50 = 2 x 10(-6) M) was compared with that of tolrestat and with pharmacophor requirements of the aldose reductase inhibitor site using a molecular modeling system.

Synthesis and aldose reductase inhibitory activity of pyridazine derivatives possessing acetic acid group.

N-acetic acid and S-acetic acid derivatives of 5-arylidene pyridazines were synthesized for evaluation as new aldose reductase inhibitors. Intrinsic activity for each compound was assessed by measuring inhibition of enzymatic activity in an isolated pig lens enzyme preparation. All prepared compounds exhibited a significant in vitro aldose reductase inhibitory effect (10(-5) M less than or equal IC50 less than or equal to 10(-4) M). It was found that lipophilicity was important in increasing activity. Furthermore, this activity (log 1/IC50) could be correlated directly to a lipophilic parameter (log kw) for the whole data set.

Studies on immunostimulating derivatives: synthesis of some pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidines.

In a search for potential immunomodulating agents novel pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidines were synthesized and their structures elucidated by spectroscopic means. Unfortunately, most of them were cytotoxic and devoid of effects on T lymphocyte lymphoblastic transformation. Furthermore, they were inactive in the locomotor activity test in mice.

[Synthesis and evaluation of central nervous system activity of new triaza-spirodecanediones].

It has been possible to prepare from 8-(2-phenylethyl)-1,3,8-triaza [4, 5] spirodecane-2,4-dione a new series of derivatives substituted on the nitrogen atom in the 3-position of the hydantoïn ring. Several compounds exhibited sedative, anticonvulsant and anxiolytic activities. The aryl or heteroaryl-piperazinomethyl substituted compounds were the most active derivatives. "Buspirone-like" anxiolytic effects were found in some compounds from 5 mg/kg dose per os.

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of 6,8-diaryl 1,2,4-triazolo [4,3,-b] and 1,2,3,4,-tetrazolo [1,5-b] pyridazines.

A series of 6,8-diaryl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b] and 1,2,3,4-tetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazines was synthesized from suitable chloropyridazines. The compounds were screened in mice for their ability to antagonize maximal electroshock-, pentylenetetrazole- and bicuculline-induced seizures; sedative effects were evaluated by a study of the spontaneous motor activity. Some of pyridazine derivatives exhibited appreciable anticonvulsant activity. Substituting the phenyl ring in the 6-position with an halogen atom led to a substantial increase of activity. Furthermore, none of the compounds was notably active in tests predictive of anxiolytic activity.

Aminopyridazine derivatives and TXA2-PGI2 balance.

Experiments carried out under the conditions adopted showed the strong affinity of aminopyridazine derivatives for the eicosanoids TXA2 and PGI2. But this affinity depended on the chemical structure of the molecule: a small change in the radical grafted onto the pyridazine ring could completely modify the pharmacological activity of the molecule. Consequently it should be possible to control the properties of pyridazine derivatives according to pharmacological needs. Thus: --pyridazin-3-one derivatives were mainly active on TXA2 biosynthesis: 2-aminoalkyl 5-arylidene 6-methyl (4H) pyridazin-3-ones inhibited the TXA2-synthesizing activity of cardiac tissue whereas 3-amino 4,6-diaryl pyridazin-3-ones were specific inhibitors of the TXA2 synthetase in vitro, but these effects were weak. --pyridazine derivatives were devoid of any effect on the TXA2-synthesizing activity of cardiac tissue: they acted on either TXA2 synthetase or PGI2 synthetase according to the radicals grafted onto the pyridazine ring. --none of the compounds under study was active on the PGI2-synthesizing activity of cardiac tissue.

Comparative effects of some 3-amino 4,6-diarylpyridazines on the biosynthesis in vitro of TXA2 and PGI2- and on the TXA2- and PGI2-synthesizing activities of cardiac tissue.

Some 3-amino 4,6-diarylpyridazine derivatives were tested for their effects on TXA2 and PGI2 biosyntheses in vitro and on the TXA2- and PGI2-synthesizing activities of cardiac tissue. Horse platelet and aorta microsomes were used as sources of thromboxane and prostacyclin synthetases respectively. The TXA2- and PGI2-synthesizing activities of cardiac tissue were studied on isolated perfused rabbit hearts (the heart microsomes being used both as TXA2 synthetase and PGI2 synthetase sources). TXB2 and 6-keto PGF1 alpha were determined by RIA. Among the compounds under study, 3-morpholino 4,6-diphenylpyridazine (III) was shown to inhibit specifically the TXA2 synthetase. Substitution of the morpholino group by a dimethylamino one (I) reinforced the inhibiting effects on TXA2 synthetase but it also revealed a slight anti-prostacyclin synthetase action of the molecule. Replacement of 3-morpholino moieties by either a 3-hydrazino (IV), or a 2-dimethylaminoethylamino (V), or a 2-morpholinoethylamino group (VI) abolished completely the effects of the molecule on TXA2 and PGI2 synthetases. Likewise the addition of chlorine on the para-position on the phenyl ring of I neutralized all its inhibitory effects both on TXA2 and PGI2 synthetases in vitro. None of the 3-amino 4,6-diarylpyridazine derivatives was active on either the TXA2- or PGI2-synthesizing activities of cardiac tissue.

Anticonvulsant activity of 3-oxo-5-substituted benzylidene-6-methyl-(4H)-2-pyridazinylacetamides and 2-pyridazinylacetylhydrazides.

A series of 3-oxo-5-substituted-benzylidene-6-methyl-(4H)-2- pyridazinylacetamides and 2-pyridazinylacetylhydrazides were synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity against electrically and chemically induced seizures. In the maximal electroshock-induced seizures test, most of the derivatives showed an anticonvulsant effect better than that of sodium valproate, a commonly used anticonvulsant drug. At 100 mg/kg orally, compounds 5a and 5b respectively protected 50 and 60% of the mice against pentylentetrazole-induced seizures. In addition, these two derivatives showed significant anticonvulsant properties at doses that did not produce ataxia or sedation. The title compounds were also tested for their ability to antagonize convulsions induced by bicuculline and strychnine. Their effect on tremors induced by oxotremorine in mice was also evaluated.

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of N-substituted 4,6-diaryl-3-pyridazinones as analgesic, antiinflammatory and antipyretic agents.

The synthesis and the pharmacological evaluation of 19 new 4,6-diaryl-3-pyridazinones are reported. All compounds were screened for analgesic, antiinflammatory and antipyretic activities. Introduction of an arylpiperazinomethyl moiety in the 2-position of the pyridazinone ring resulted in the most potent activities. Compounds 2a, 2b, 2h and 2i exhibited a higher analgesic activity than did aspirin or noramidopyrine in the hot plate test.

A selective inhibitor of thromboxane synthetase activity of rabbit heart tissue: a pyridazinic derivative.

The effects of 2-(2 dimethylaminoethyl) 5-benzylidene 6-methyl (2H,4H)-3-pyridazinone (III) were studied on the biosynthesis of TXA2 and PGI2 in vitro the TXA2 and PGI2 synthetase activity of heart tissue. Biosyntheses of TXA2 and PGI2 were carried out using arachidonic acid as a substrate and horse platelet and aorta microsomes as sources of TXA2 and PGI2 synthetases respectively. TXB2 and 6-keto PGF1 alpha were determined by RIA. III--did not significantly modify either the biosynthesis of PGI2 in vitro or the PGI2 synthetase activity of heart tissue. did not significantly inhibit TXA2 biosynthesis in vitro but markedly reduced the TXA2 synthetase activity of heart tissue: for a microsomal fraction concentration of 100 micrograms protein, the ID50 was 6.37 X 10(-5) M +/- 1.29 X 10(-8) M. Thus III behaves as a specific inhibitor of the TXA2 synthetase activity of heart tissue and could have a beneficial use in therapeutics.

Synthesis of 6-[(4-imidazol-1-yl)-phenyl]-4-phenyl 4,5-dihydro-2H-pyridazin-3-one: a potential blood platelet aggregation inhibitor.

A new 4,5 diaryl pyridazin-3-one, an analogue of imazodan and Cl-930 was prepared starting from conveniently available chalcone. The resulting derivative was tested in order to determine the area of pharmacological activity. This compound was devoid of positive inotropic effects but showed an important inhibition of PAF-acether induced blood platelet aggregation in vitro with a Cl50 value of 3,4 microM. Ex vivo, anti-aggregating effect against PAF-acether was less important with a DE50 value of 63 mg/kg per os.
