title: Synthesis and immunomodulating activity of condensed N-aryl-2-cyano-3-oxo-3-pyrazolyl-propanamides.
abstract: A series of condensed N-aryl-2-cyano-3-oxo-3-pyrazolyl-propanamides were synthesized and evaluated for immunomodulating activity following intraperitoneal administration. These new molecules were found to enhance macrophage cytotoxicity and stimulate host mediated antibacterial defences in mice. The compound 3-cyano-3-(1,4-dihydro-1-phenyl-[1]-benzothiopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazol- 3-yl]-3-oxo-N-phenyl-propanamide, chosen for wider pharmacological investigation, proved effective in preventing adjuvant-induced arthritis development in rats.
