S. Plescia et al., 3-ALPHA-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF SOME 4-CARBOXYPYRAZOL-5-YL)-1,2,3-BENZOTRIAZIN-4(3H)ONE AND QUINAZOLIN-4(3H)-ONE ACIDS, Il Farmaco, 49(7-8), 1994, pp. 505-507
Some carboxylic acids of N(3)-pyrazole substituted 1,2,3-benzotriazin-
4-(3H)-ones and- quinazolin-4-(3H)-ones were prepared and tested for t
he inhibitory property of 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase of rat
liver cytosol. The results indicated that the degree of inhibition can
be used to predict the antiinflammatory potency of the compounds desc
ribed.
