A series of 2-H/methyl-3-phenyl-5-alkyl/aryl/heteroaryl-7-trifluoromethylpyrazolo[1,5-alpha]pyrimidines (4a-l) were synthesized by refluxing 3(5)-amino-4-phenyl-5(3)-H/methyl-1H-pyrazoles (12) with trifluoromethyl-beta-diketones (3a-f) in ethanol for 6 h. The structure of the compounds was assigned on the basis of H-1, C-13, F-19 NMR and IR spectral data. The intermediate, 5-methyl-4-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-alpha]pyrimidin-5,7-diol (5b), involved in the reaction was also isolated and characterized in one case by performing the reaction in DCM at -15 degrees C. A total of nine compounds 4a-f, 4h-i, 4k were tested for their anti-inflammatory activity by Carrageenan-induced rat paw edema assay. Compound 4e exhibited the comparable anti-inflammatory activity (83.4%) to the standard drug Indomethacin (84.2%). To rationalize the anti-inflammatoy activity, docking experiments were performed to study the ability of these compounds to bind into the active site of COX-2 enzyme. All the twelve compounds synthesized (4a-l) were screened for their antimicrobial activity in vitro against two Gram +ve, two Gram -ve bacteria and two fungi. Preliminary results reveal that some of the synthesized compounds revealed promising antimicrobial activity against Gram +ve bacteria and pathogenic fungi used in this study. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
