1-(4-Methane(amino)sulfonylphenyl)-3-(4-substituted-phenyl)-5-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1H-2-pyrazolines/pyrazoles as potentialanti-inflammatory agents.

Research Abstract

2-Pyrazolins 14a-l and pyrazoles 15a-l were designed as celecoxib analogs for the evaluation of their in vitro COX-1/COX-2 inhibitory activity and the in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. Compounds 14i, 15a, 15d and 15f were the most COX-2 selective derivatives (S.I.=5.93, 6.08, 5.03 and 5.27 respectively) while the pyrazoline derivatives 14g and 14i exhibited the highest AI activity (ED50=190.5 and 160.1μmol/kg po, respectively).
