“…The pyrazolidinone (pyrazolidin-3-one) moiety is an important structural motif that can be found both in natural products and in synthetic compounds with interesting pharmacological activity (analgesic, antibiotic, anticonvulsant, and with inhibitory cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and γ-aminobutyrate transferase activity, among others) [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. On the other hand, the selective oxidation of pyrazolidinones affords the corresponding pyrazolones (pyrazol-5-ones), a class of compounds that also exhibits very relevant pharmacological properties [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18].…”
