The present study describes the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of 2-substituted-6-(4-acylaminophenyl)-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-ones as potent inodilating agents. The synthesis of target compounds 2-4 and 7-11 was achieved by Friedel-Crafts acylation of appropriate anilide derivative with succinic anhydride or methylsuccinic anhydride and subsequent cyclization of intermediary keto a...

The fatty acid composition of the major lipids of the chloroplast membranes, the mono- and digalactosyl diglycerides, can be definably altered with various substituted pyridazinones. Galactolipid fatty acid composition of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) can be altered so that there is a decrease in linolenic acid accompanied by an increase in linoleic acid without a shift in the relative proportio...

Treatment of 12-day-old winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) plants with BASF 13-338 {4-chloro-5 (dimethylamino)-2-phenyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone} 36 hours before frost hardening simultaneously and completely inhibits accumulation of linolenic acid in the roots during the hardening period and the acquisition of frost resistance. Increased unsaturation of fatty acids is therefore probably an important pa...

Several new pryrazolo-pyridazine derivatives (4a-h) were synthesized through multi-step synthesis and evaluated for their antimicrobial activities. In the first step, 6-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridazin-3-one (2) was prepared by reacting 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid (1) with hydrazine hydrate. Then, aryl-aldehydes were reacted with 2 to furnish pyridazinone derivatives (3a-g). Finally...
