Abstract: 5-alkyl-1-phenyl-2-piperazinoalkylpyrazolin-3-one compounds of the Formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is a straight-chain, branched or cyclic alkyl group with up to 6 carbon atoms, Z is an alkylene chain with 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and 1-phenyl substituent is an optionally substituted phenyl ring, and R.sub.4 is a phenyl or pyridyl group which is optionally substituted and their preparation are described. The compounds have pharmacological, particularly antiallergic, properties.

Abstract: Compounds corresponding to the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 each represent hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or trifluoromethyl; R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 each represent hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy; Z represents an alkylene radical with 2 to 6 carbon atoms and Y" is halogen, hydroxyl, lower alkanesulphonyl, benzenesulphonyl, or lower alkyl or halogen substituted benzenesulphonyl, and acid addition salts thereof, with the proviso the Y" is other than chlorine if R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 each are hydrogen and Z is ethylene or propylene. The claimed compounds are useful intermediates in the synthesis of 1-phenyl-2-[(4-substituted piperazinyl) alkyl]-1,2-dihydro-3H-indazol-3-ones which exhibit antiallergic activity.
