Investigation of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of promising pyrazole derivative

The development of new COX-2 inhibitors with analgesic and anti-inflammatory efficacy as well as minimal gastrointestinal, renal and cardiovascular toxicity, is of vital importance to patients suffering from chronic course pain and inflammatory conditions. This study aims at evaluating the therapeutic activity and adverse drug reactions associated with the use of the newly synthesized pyrazole derivative, compound AD732, E-4-[3-(4-methylphenyl)-5-hydroxyliminomethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamide, as compared to indomethacin and celecoxib as standard agents. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed using carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and cotton pellet granuloma tests; formalin-induced hyperalgesia and hot plate tests were done to study analgesic activity. In vitro tests to determine COX-1/COX-2 selectivity and assessment of renal and gastric toxicity upon acute exposure to AD732 were also conducted. Compound AD732 exhibited promising results; higher antiinflammatory and analgesic effects compared to standard agents, coupled with the absence of ulcerogenic effects and minimal detrimental effects on renal function. Additionally, compound AD732 was a less potent inhibitor of COX-2 in vitro than celecoxib, which may indicate lower potential cardiovascular toxicity. It may be concluded that compound AD732 appears to be a safer and more effective molecule with promising potential for the management of pain and inflammation.

Automated summary

This study evaluates the therapeutic activity and adverse drug reactions of a newly synthesized pyrazole derivative, compound AD732, and compares it to standard agents. The results show that AD732 has higher anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects compared to standard agents, without ulcerogenic effects and minimal detrimental effects on renal function. AD732 may be a safer and more effective molecule with promising potential for pain and inflammation management.
