What drugs contain pyrazoles?
Question:
Answers:
This may take a little more research on your part. This from Wikipedia:
Pyrazole refers both to the class of simple aromatic ring organic compounds of the heterocyclic series characterized by a 5-membered ring structure composed of three carbon atoms and two nitrogen atoms in adjacent positions and to the unsubstituted parent compound. Being so composed and having pharmacological effects on humans, they are classified as alkaloids although they are not known to occur in nature.
Pyrazoles are produced synthetically through the reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with hydrazine and subsequent dehydrogenation.
Pyrazoles are used for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antiarrhythmic, tranquilizing, muscle relaxing, psychoanaleptic, anticonvulsant, monoamineoxidase inhibiting, antidiabetic and antibacterial activities.
Structurally related compounds are pyrazoline and pyrazolidine.

Oxazole, an analog with the nitrogen atom in position 1 replaced by oxygen.
Imidazole, an analog with two non-adjacent nitrogen atoms.
Simple aromatic rings
For example, Ibuprofen, Aspirin, and acetaminophen all have analgesic, antipyretic activity but aren't pyrazoles. Celebrex, a COX-2 inhibitor, also having analgesic properties, IS a pyrazole. You can't say "this class of drugs are pyrazoles." It depends on the individual makeup of the chemical compound.
