The compounds of this invention possess anti-inflammatory activity as demonstrated e.g. by the fact that they are active, after oral administration, in inhibiting: A) the oedema formation in the hind paw of rats in response to a subplantar injection of carrageenin, according to the method of C.A. Winter et al. (J. Pharmac. Exp. Therap. 1963, 141, 369) and P.
Lence (Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., 1962, 136,237), and B) the Reversed Passive Arthus Reaction (RPAR) in rat paw, induced by the interaction of antigen and antibody resulting in the formation of precipitating immune complex, followed by fixation of complement and accumulation of polymorphonuclear leucocytes at a focal point (D. K. Gemmell, J. Cottney and A. J. Lewis: Agents and Actions 9/1 pag. 107, 1979.
The compounds of this invention are also endowed with analgesic activity. The analgesic activity was assessed, for example, by means of phenylquinonetest in mice according to Siegmund [Sieg mund et al. Proc. Soc. Exper. Biol. Med., 95,729 (1957)].
Therefore the compounds of the invention may be used in therapy to treat pains and inflammatory processes, for example, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthrosis.
The following Table 1 shows, for example, the approximate ED25 values of the antiinflammatory activity in the carrageenin induced oedema test, in the rat after oral administration, for some compounds of this invention: TABLE I
Compound Antiinflammatory activity carrageenin induced oedema 1-phenyl-7-oxo-1H,7H-pyra zoloh ,5-aapyrimidine-6-N- ED = 16 mg/kg -(2-pyridyl)-carboxamide 5-methyl-1-phenyl-7-oxo -19,7H-pyrezoloJl,5-ajpy- ED25 = 9.8 mg/kg rimidine-6-N-(2-pyridyl) -carboxamide The compounds of formula (I), wherein R1 is Cl-C6 alkyl and B5 is hydroxy or C1-Cs alkoxy, are known compounds, e.g., they are described in Published Japan Patent Application 14424/66 and in Belgian Patent 847,698 and, in fact, they are excluded by the previously reported proviso.
A pharmacological comparison has shown that the compounds of this invention are more active, as anti-inflammatory agents, than those of the above cited prior art.
For example, the compound of this invention 1 methyl - 7 - oxo - 1 H,7H - pyrazolo[1,5 - a]pyrimidine - 6 - N - (2 - pyridyl) - carboxamide (internal code FCE 23081) was tested versus the compound of the above prior art 1 - methyl - 7 - oxo - 1 H,7H - pyrazolo[1,5 - aipyrimidine - 6 - carboxylic acid, ethyl ester (internal code SR 5444/50) according to the carrageenin and RPAR tests described above, and the following results were obtained: a) in the carrageenin induced oedema test in the rat, after oral administration at a dosage of 100 mg/kg body weight, the anti-inflammatory activity of the compound FCE 23081 was found to be about three times higher than that of the compound SR 5444/50; and b) in the RPAR test in the rat, after oral administration art a dosage of 100 mg/kg body weight, the compound SR 5444/50 was found to be totally inactive; on the contrary the compound FCE 23081 was found to strongly inhibit the RPAR reaction.
In view of their high therapeutic index, the com pounds of the invention can be used safely in medicine. For example, the approximate acute toxicity (LD50) of the compounds 1 - phenyl - 7 - oxo 1 H,7K - pyrazolo[l,5- - a]pyrimidine - 6 - N - (2 pyridyl) - carboxamide,1 - phenyl - 7 - oxo - 1 H,7H pyrazolo[1,5 - a]pyrimidine - 6 - carboxylic acid and 5 - methyl - 1 - phenyl - 7 - oxo -1 H,7H - pyrazoloil 5 - a]pyrimidine - 6 - N - (2 - pyridyl) - carboxamide in the mouse, determined by single administration of increasing doses and measured on the seventh day after the treatment, is higher than 800 mg/kg per os.
Analogous toxicity data have been found for other compounds of the invention.
The compounds of the invention can be ad minis- tered in a variety of dosage forms, e.g. orally, in the form of tablets, capsules, sugar or film coated tablets, liquid solutions or suspensions; rectally, in the form of suppositories; parenterally, e.g. intra muscularly, or by intravenous injection or infusion.
The dosage depends on the age, weight, condi tions of the patient and administration route; for example the dosage adopted for oral administration to adult humans may range from about 20 to about 200 mg pro dose, from 1 to 5 times daily.
The invention includes pharmaceutical composi tions comprising a compound of the invention in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable exci I pient (which can be a carrier or diluent).
The pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of the invention are usually prepared following conventional methods and are adminis tered in a pharmaceutically suitable form.
