The compounds of this invention possess anti-inflammatory activity as demonstrated e.g. by the fact that they are active, after oral administration, in inhibiting: (A) the oedema formation in the hind paw of rats in response to a subplanter injection of carrageenin, according to the method of C. A. Winter et al. (J. Pharmac. Exp. Therap. 1963, 141, 369) and P. Lence (Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., 1962, 136, 237), and (B) the Reversed Passive Arthus Reaction (RPAR) in rat paw, induced by the interaction of antigen and antibody resulting in the formation of precipitating immune complex, followed by fixation of complement and accumulation of polymorphonuclear leucocytes at a focal point (D. K. Gemmell, J. Cottney and A. J. Lewis: Agents and Actions 9/1 pag. 107, 1979).
The compounds of this invention are also endowed with analgesic activity. The analgesic activity was assessed, for example, by means of phenylquinone test in mice according to Siegmund [Siegmund et al. Proc. Soc. Exper. Biol. Med., 95, 729 (1957)].
Therefore the compounds of the invention may be used in therapy to treat pains and inflammatory processes, for example, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthrosis.
The following Table I, shows, for example, the approximate ED.sub.25 values of the antiinflammatory activity in the carrageenin induced oedema test, in the rat after oral administration, for some compounds of this invention:

The compounds of formula (I), wherein R.sub.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl and R.sub.5 is hydroxy or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, are known compounds, e.g., they are described in Published Japan Patent Application No. 14424/66 and in Belgian Patent No. 847,698 and, in fact, they are excluded by the previously reported proviso.
A pharmacological comparison has shown that the compounds of this invention are more active, as anti-inflammatory agents, than those of the above cited prior art.
For example, the compound of this invention 1-methyl-7-oxo-1H,7H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-N-(2-pyridyl)-carboxamide (internal code FCE 23081) was tested versus the compound of the above prior art 1-methyl-7-oxo-1H,7H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester (internal code SR 5444/50) according to the carrageenin and RPAR tests described above, and the following results were obtained:
(a) in the carrageenin induced oedema test in the rat, after oral administration at a dosage of 100 mg/kg body weight, the anti-inflammatory activity of the compound FCE 23081 was found to be about three times higher than that of the compound SR 5444/50; and
(b) in the RPAR test in the rat, after oral administration at a dosage of 100 mg/kg body weight, the compound SR 5444/50 was found to be totally inactive; on the contrary the compound FCE 23081 was found to strongly inhibit the RPAR reaction.
In view of their high therapeutic index, the compounds of the invention can be used safely in medicine. For example, the approximate acute toxicity (LD.sub.50) of the compounds 1-phenyl-7-oxo-1H,7H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-N-(2-pyridyl)-carboxamide, 1-phenyl-7-oxo-1H,7H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid and 5-methyl-1-phenyl-7-oxo-1H,7H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-N-(2-pyridyl)-carboxamide in the mouse, determined by single administration of increasing doses and measured on the seventh day after the treatment, is higher than 800 mg/kg per os. Analogous toxicity data have been found for other compounds of the invention.
The compounds of the invention can be administered in a variety of dosage forms, e.g. orally, in the form of tablets, capsules, sugar or film coated tablets, liquid solutions or suspensions; rectally, in the form of suppositories; parenterally, e.g. intramuscularly, or by intravenous injection or infusion.
The dosage depends on the age, weight, conditions of the patient and administration route; for example the dosage adopted for oral administration to adult humans may range from about 20 to about 200 mg pro dose, from 1 to 5 times daily.
The invention includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient (which can be a carrier or diluent).
The pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of the invention are usually prepared following conventional methods and are administered in a pharmaceutically suitable form.
For example, the solid oral forms may contain, together with the active compound, diluents, e.g., lactose, dextrose, saccharose, cellulose, corn starch or potato starch; lubricants, e.g. silica, talc, stearic acid, magnesium or calcium stearate, and/or polyethylene glycols; binding agents, e.g. starches, arabic gums, gelatin, methylcellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose or polyvinyl pyrrolidone; disaggregating agents, e.g. a starch, alginic acid, alginates or sodium starch glycolate; effervescing mixtures; dyestuffs; sweeteners; wetting agents, such as lecithin, polysorbates, laurylsulphates; and, in general, non-toxic and pharmacologically inactive substances used in pharmaceutical formulations. Said pharmaceutical preparations may be manufactured in known manner, for example, by means of mixing, granulating, tabletting, sugar-coating, or film-coating processes. The liquid dispersions for oral administration may be e.g. syrups, emulsions and suspensions.
The syrups may contain as carrier, for example, saccharose or saccharose with glycerine and/or mannitol and/or sorbitol; in particular a syrup to be administered to diabetic patients can contain as carriers only products not metabolizable to glucose, or metabolizable in very small amount to glucose, for example sorbitol.
The suspensions and the emulsions may contain as carrier, for example, a natural gum, agar, sodium alginate, pectin, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, or polyvinyl alcohol.
The suspensions or solutions for intramuscular injections may contain together with the active compound a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, e.g. sterile water, olive oil, ethyl oleate, glycols, e.g. propylene glycol, and if desired, a suitable amount of lidocaine hydrochloride. The solutions for intravenous injections or infusions may contain as carrier, for example, sterile water or preferably they may be in the form of sterile, aqueous, isotonic saline solutions.
The suppositories may contain together with the active compound a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, e.g. cocoa-butter, polyethylene glycol, a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester surfactant or lecithin. The following examples illustrate but do not limit the invention.

EXAMPLE 20
Tablets, each weighing 100 mg and containing 50 mg of the active substance are manufactured as follows:
______________________________________Compositions (for 10,000 tablets)______________________________________5-methyl-1-phenyl-7-oxo- 500 g1H,7H--pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-N--(2-pyridyl)-carboxamideLactose 710 gCorn starch 237.5 gTalc powder 35.5 gMagnesium stearate 15 g______________________________________
5-methyl-1-phenyl-7-oxo-1H,7H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-N-(2-pyridyl)-carboxamide, lactose and a half of the corn starch are mixed; the mixture is then forced through a sieve of 0.5 mm openings. Corn starch (18 g) is suspended in warm water (180 ml). The resulting paste is used to granulate the powder. The granules are dried, comminuted on a sieve of sieve size 1.4 mm, then the remaining quantity of starch, talc and magnesium stearate is added, carefully mixed and processed into tablets using punches of 8 mm diameter.
