Anti-inflammatory activity (carrageenan-induced rat
paw oedema test): All the synthesized pyrazoles (3a-j) were
administered in two doses of 50 mg/kg body weight based
upon their acute toxicity studies using standard protocols [36].
Nimesulide at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight was served as
reference standard. The compounds were suspended in 0.5 %
carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and administered orally to
the Wister rats. The control animals received 0.5 % carboxy-
methyl cellulose.After 30 min drug administration, 0.1 mL of
1 % carrageenan in normal saline solution was injected into
the sub plantar region of one of the hind paws. The paw oedema
volume was recorded using a plethysmometer (UGO Basile,
Italy) at different time intervals.
Analgesic activity (acetic acid-induced writhing model):
This experiment was carried out by standard procedures using
Wistar rats of either sex [37]. Three groups of six animals each
served as control, test and standard. The control group was
administered with the normal saline solution, the test group
supplied with 50 mg/kg body weight of the compounds. The
standard group was administered with nimesulide at a dose
of 50 mg/kg prepared in water. Food was restricted during
experiments. Writhings were induced 30 min after the last dose
by intraperitoneal injection of 10 mL/kg of 0.6 % acetic acid
in distilled water. The number of writhings that is a number of
abdominal contractions, trunk twist responses and extension
of hind limbs was recorded immediately for a period of 10
min.
