Synthesis and biological acitivity of annulated pyrazoles as selective COX-2 inhibitors. I

Arch Pharm Res. 1999 Aug;22(4):372-9. doi: 10.1007/BF02979060.

Abstract

A series of disubstituted 4,5-polymethylenepyrazoles were synthesized and evaluated their inhibitory activities against COX-2. Some compounds showed strong (0.3 nM) inhibitory activity on COX-2 and were found somewhat selective (up to 16) on COX-2 over COX-1.
