Ten female Sprague-Dawley rats were used per group. A dose of 0.5 mg of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain Aoyama B) suspended in 0.05 ml of liquid paraffin was injected subcutaneously in the right hand paw. The injection of mycobacterial adjuvant produced local inflammatory lesions (primary lesion) and then about 10 days later, secondary lesions in both the injected and uninjected paws. The difference in volumes of both paws before and after adjuvant injection was the measure of arthritis. The drug was given orally once a day for 23 consecutive days from day 1.

The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 8 hours. The insoluble was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue obtained was dissolved in ethyl acetate, and washed with an aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen sulfite and water. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give an oily residue (0.6 g). The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (13 g) eluting with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (50:1). The purified product was crystallized from a mixture of hexane and ethanol to give crystals of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-[4-(methylsulfinyl)phenyl]pyrazole-3-carbonitrile (0.45 g).
