Pyrazoles Categories.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Aminopyrine - A drug with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties but, owing to the risk of agranulocytosis, whose use is discouraged. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p3)
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Antipyrine - An analgesic and antipyretic that has been given by mouth and as ear drops. Antipyrine is often used in testing the effects of other drugs or diseases on drug-metabolizing enzymes in the liver. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p29)
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Betazole - A histamine H2 agonist used clinically to test gastric secretory function.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition BW-755C - A dual inhibitor of both cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways. It exerts an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the formation of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The drug also enhances pulmonary hypoxic vasoconstriction and has a protective effect after myocardial ischemia.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Epirizole - 4-Methoxy-2-(5-methoxy-3-methylpyrazol-1-yl)-6-methylpyrimidine. A pyrimidinyl pyrazole with antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activity.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Indazoles
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Muzolimine - A pyrazole diuretic with long duration and high capacity of action. It was proposed for kidney failure and hypertension but was withdrawn worldwide because of severe neurological effects.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Oxypurinol - A xanthine oxidase inhibitor.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Phenylbutazone - A drug that has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic activities. It is especially effective in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis. It also is useful in rheumatoid arthritis and Reiter's syndrome (investigational indication). Although phenylbutazone is effective in gouty arthritis, risk/benefit considerations indicate that this drug should not be employed for this disease. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p1822)
