Background:
Recently, pyrazole derivatives have shown significant antiinflammatory activity. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have some side effects, mainly gastric irritation and gastric ulceration during the treatment of inflammation. So the current study deals with the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a series of novel pyrazole derivatives as anti-inflammatory agents.
Methods:
A series of novel ethyl 5-(substituted)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (2a-j) were synthesized and evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan-induced inflammation in rat paw edema model. In the first step, diethyl oxalate react with acetophenone derivatives in presense of sodium ethoxide to form substituted ethyl-2,4-dioxo-4- phenyl butanoate derivatives as intermediate (1a-j). Further the suspension was prepared from dioxo-esters with hydrazine hydrate in glacial acetic acid yielded novel ethyl 5- (substituted)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (2a-j) derivatives. The structure of the final analogues (2a-j) has been confirmed on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, 1 H NMR and mass spectra.
Results:
All the values of elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H NMR, and mass spectra were found to be prominent. The anti-inflammatory activity test revealed that Ethyl 5-(3,4- dimethoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (2f) and ethyl 5-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-1Hpyrazole- 3-carboxylate (2e) exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity as compared to control group.
Conclusion:
The results of the current study indicate that the substitution at pyrazole scaffold could improve anti-inflammatory activity.

Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...

Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Overview
Relative Reactivity of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
A key factor in assessing the reactivity of the acid derivatives is the basicity of the substituent or the leaving group. The lower the basicity of the leaving group, the higher the reactivity of the derivative. The basicity of the leaving group follows this order:
Halide ions < Acyloxy ions < Alkoxy ions < Amine ions
Acidity and Basicity of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
The relative acidic strength of the derivatives can be explained based on the extent of resonance stabilization of the conjugate base. The...
