pubmed-article:3229497 | pubmed:abstractText | The synthesis of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole (II) and its 4-bromo derivative (III) starting from chalcone epoxide, as well as of a series of esters and N-substituted carbamates derived from (II) and (III), is described. Some of these compounds showed remarkable depressant, antiarrhythmic and analgesic activities in mice and rats. Moreover, the above compounds usually exhibited moderate hypotensive, bradycardic and antiinflammatory activities in rats, infiltration anesthesia and hypoglycemic activity in mice, as well as a weak platelet antiaggregating activity in vitro. | lld:pubmed |
