Title of the topic:

SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL PYRAZOLE DERIVATIVES & EVALUATION OF THEIR BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES
6.0 / BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK:
6.1:- NEED FOR PRESENT STUDY:
Pyrazole refers to the class of simple aromatic ring organic compounds of the heterocyclic series characterized by a 5-membered ring structure composed of three carbon atoms and two nitrogen atoms in adjacent positions. Being so composed and having pharmacological effects on humans, they are classified as alkaloids, although they are rare in nature.

The pyrazole derivatives are well known for various activities like PGE2 inhibitory,26 Antidepressant,4,28 Anticonvulsant,2 Antiviral,17,30 Leishmanicidal,11 Analgesic,14,20 Anti-inflammatory,22 Antiobesity,18 Anticancer,19 hypoglycemic21 and Anti hypertensive activities.3
The inflammatory response is accompanied by the clinical signs of erythema, edema and pain (algesia). Inflammation may lead to osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The existing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have side effects like gastric or intestinal ulceration and bleeding that sometimes can be accompanied by anemia from the resultant blood loss. Other side effects of these drugs that result from blockade of the synthesis of endogenous prostaglandins and thromboxane-A2 include disturbances in platelet functions and changes in renal function. Search for newer drugs with fewer side effects will help to overcome these problems.
Epilepsy is a very common disorder with prevalence of 5-10 persons per 1000. The characteristic event in epilepsy is the seizure. About 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, with almost 90% of these people being in developing countries. 30% of people with epilepsy do not have seizure control even with the best available medications.
Thus, this atrocious disease is a big blow to humanity and continual search for newer therapeutic agents are the only way to fortify against this awful threat.
