A series of heterocyclic derivatives including 1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-one (3a,b), 1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one (4,5), 1H-pyrazol-4-carbonitrile (7), pyridine-3-carbonitrile (8, 9a,b), pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (10a,b), methylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one or thione (11a,b), pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (12a,b), quinazolin-5(6H)-one (13a,b) and indeno [1,2-d] pyrimidin-5-one (14a,b) moieties conjugated with 1,3-disubstituted pyrazole moiety were synthesized on reaction with semicarbazide, thiosemicarbazide, 3-amino-5-oxo-2-pyrazoline, cyanoacetohydrazide, 2-acetyl thiophene, p-chloroacetophenone, urea, thiourea and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, respectively, by using 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde (2) as starting material. The structures of all the newly synthesized products have been established on the basis of analytical and spectral data. The anti-inflammatory screening showed that most of the obtained compounds were found to have significant anti-inflammatory activities with prostaglandin inhibition at a dose level of 2.5 and 5 mg/kg comparable to celecoxib as a reference control. The ulcer indices of all compounds are mainly in the safe level (UI = 2.10-4.27) except for compounds 9a and 14a, which were highly ulcerogenic.
