Abstract
The effect of methanesulfonamide (MeSO
2NH) group on COX-2 inhibitory activity of 1,5-diarylpyrazole is described. While this group being at position-4 of the
N
1-phenyl ring was found to be ineffective, its installation at position-4 of the C-5 phenyl ring offered several potent and selective inhibitors of COX-2 with IC
50 as low as 30 nM.
The effect of methanesulfonamide (MeSO
2NH) group on COX-2 inhibitory activity of 1,5-diarylpyrazole is described.
