A series of sulpha/substituted derivatives of phenyl azo-1,2-diazole have been synthesized and tested as an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial activity in mature albino rats hind paw by taking Diclofenac sodium as standard. N ¹-(4-hydroxy benzoyl)-3-methyl-5-phenyl-4(N-4-chlorophenylazo)-1,2-diazole is synthesized by a two-step process. In the first step, synthesis of N ¹-4-chlorophenyl hydrazono-1-methyl-3-phenyl propane-1,3-dione by the reciprocal action of 1-methyl-5-phenylpropane-1,3-dione and diazonium salt solution of phenyl-chloride interacts with 4-hydroxybenzoic acid hydrazide to form the final compound. These diazoles, the heterocyclic compounds which contained electron withdrawing groups, were screened for analgesic activity by acetic acid induced writing method, and for anti-inflammatory activity carried on carrageenan-induced paw edema. The synthesized substituted Chlorophenylazo-1,2-diazole nucleus exhibited significant anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory activity, muscle relaxing and moderate activity in anti-proliferative studies.

1. Introduction

Due to increased application of a large number of heterocyclic compounds such as pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, etc., in recent times, the development in heterocyclic chemistry has been very rapid. Intensive investigations of synthetic compounds which are in many times analogy of known pharmaceutical agents result in the development of new drugs.

The stability of the heterocyclic compounds depends on the size of the ring. The three- or four-membered rings are relatively unstable, while five- and six-mem- bered rings are highly stable. The derivatives of stable five-membered ring system containing carbon with two heteroatoms, is known as Pyrazole or (1-2-diazole) [1] .

1,2-diazole nucleus and N-substituted derivatives are an organic compound with the formula C₃H₃N₂H. Pyrazole is a weak base, with pK_b 11.5 (pK_a of the conjugated acid 2.49˚C at 25˚C) [2] . Pyrazoles are also a class of compounds that have the ring C₃N₂ with adjacent nitrogen atoms [3] .

1,2-diazoles ligands are also helpful in investigating the metallosupramolecular chemistry of functionalised 1,2-diazole ligands by the preparation and characterisation of a range of first-row transition metal coordination polymers and discrete assemblies. To this end, twenty-six ligands containing 1,2-diazole functionality have been synthesised, twenty-one of which have not previously appeared in the coordination chemistry literature. Utilising these compounds, forty new coordination compounds have been prepared and characterised by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and other analytical techniques, and their solid-state structural features have been discussed in the search for reproducible new diazole-based synthesis for the designed synthesis of new functional materials [4] [5] .

The chemistry of pyrazole and its derivatives are particularly interesting because of their potential application in medicinal chemistry as anti-inflammatory [6] , analgesic [7] , anti-bacterial [8] , muscle relaxing [9] , antifungal [10] , antitumor [11] , antiviral [12] , antiparasitic [13] , anti-tubercular [14] and anti-insec- ticidal agents [15] .

Diuretic compounds that stimulate the excretion of water are potentially useful in many disorders including most of those exhibiting oedema such as congestive heart diseases, nephritis, toxaemia of pregnancy, premenstrual tension and hypertension and also play an important role in hypertensive patients and pulmonary congestion [16] . Diuretics like mannitol, thiazides, frusemide and ethacrynic acid are used nowadays. Among these diuretics, some have toxic effects. These synthetic diuretics typically inhibit potassium secretion and lead to potassium retention [17] . Sulpha/substituted 1,2-diazoles may serve as the alternative sources for the development of new diuretic agents due to their biological activity. Sulpha/substituted 1,2-diazoles used for the treatment of diuresis in different systems of medicine, have shown diuretic activity when tested in animal models.

The present substituted 1,2-diazoles were prepared because of its good biological activity and reported exhibiting significant antibacterial activity.

2. Materials and Methods2.1. Instrumentation

All the glassware is of borosilicate grade. All melting points were determined in one open-end capillary tube on a liquid paraffin bath and were uncorrected. The melting point of an organic compound was determined by Thiel’s melting point apparatus. Reactions were monitored by TLC using silica gel-G plate as absorbent using a ratio of C₆H₆:CH₃COOC₂H₅ (9:1). The diazotization of the appropriate sulpha drug and their coupling with reactive methylene compounds was carried out under an inert nitrogen atmosphere. The IR spectra (KBr pellets) were recorded on Perkin-Elmer 157 and Shimadzu spectrometer Fourier transforms infrared FT-IR 8010. 1H NMR was reported Bruker Avance II (300.65 MHz instrument using CDCl₃ as solvent and TMS as internal standard and Chemical shift expressed in parts per million (ppm) using tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal standard and Elemental (C, H and N) analysis was performed on an Elementar Vario MICRO cube. The mass spectra were recorded on Jeol sx-102/PA-6000 (EI) spectrometer using ionization energy of 70 ev. Elemental analyses were performed on a Carlo Erba 106 Perkin-Elmer model 240 analyzer.

4-hydroxybenzoic acid hydrazide and all reference compounds were purchased from Aldrich Chemicals. Ethanol, sodium acetate, glacial acetic acid and all other reagents were purchased from S. D. Fine Chemicals (India). The diazotization of the appropriate sulpha drug and their coupling with reactive methylene compounds was carried out by the method reported in the reference.

2.2. Chemistry

The overall reaction for the synthesis of sulpha/substituted phenylazo-1,2-diazole is proceeded by 2 steps via the synthesis of an intermediate utilized for the construction of heterocyclic moieties by alkylation and the resulting compound is 1,3-diketones. The 1,3-diketones and β-ketoesters are well-known compounds widely employed in the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds. They are known as active methylene compounds due to the reactivity of the methylene group which is placed between two electronegative groups i.e. two carbonyl functions. These active methylene compounds on treatment with sodium metal or a strong base such as sodium ethoxide generate fairly which undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions giving 2,4-dione compound. The α-hydrogen on substitution with aromatic diazonium cations affords the corresponding azo derivatives which are converted into more stable hydrazono forms. The relevant reactions are presented in Scheme 1. The product of (Scheme 1) reaction is carried out with 4-hydroxybenzoic acid hydrazide in presence of glacial acetic acid and formed 1,2-diazoles compound (Scheme 2).
