Abstract Some hydroxypyrazole derivatives 2–7 were synthesized by cyclocondensation of the keto-ester 1 with hydrazines hydrate or substituted hydrazines followed by reduction and acylation with acetic anhydride or trifluoroacetic anhydride. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial activities. In addition, the ulcerogenic and acute toxicity profiles were determined. Compounds N-(4-(5-hydroxy- ...
