Abstract
In a wide search program towards a biologically active antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents, a series of 3,5-diaryl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline have been synthesized with excellent yields employing microwave techniques starting from substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds which undergo cyclization reactions with phenylhydrazine. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were characterized and confirmed on the basis of FT-IR, H-1 NMR and mass spectral analyses. The synthesized compounds 3,5-diaryl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolines had shown significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 87), Escherichia coli (MTCC 40), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 424) and Proteus vulgaris (MTCC 426) by cup plate method using tetracycline-SD 037 as a reference standard. The anti-inflammatory property of 1,3,5-diaryl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolines were screened by using carragenan induced paw edema method in Wistar rat. The anti-inflammatory activities were comparable to that of the standard drug diclofenac. The safety of 3,5-diaryl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolines were reflected by toxicity studies.
