2004 Pyrazole derivatives Pyrazole derivatives R 0180 Methanesulfonamide Group at Position-4 of the C-5-Phenyl Ring of 1,5-Diarylpyrazole Affords a Potent Class of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) Inhibi- tors. — Diarylpyrazoles like (VIII) and (X) are synthesized by Claisen condensation of acetophenone (I) with ethyl acetates (II), coupling of diketones (III) with aryl hydra- zines (IV), and treatment of diarylpyrazole (V) with methanesulfonyl chloride (VII) to give the desired pharmacophores (VIII). Additionally, some parent methanesulfona- mides, e.g. (VIIIa), are N-acylated. 1,3-Diarylpyrazoles are also formed in minor quan- tities. Acetanilides (VI) can be hydrolyzed to amines (V). The 4-methanesulfonamide group provides a few potent and selective inhibitors of COX-2 with inhibitory concen- tration values up to 30 nM, cf. (VIIIa) (some yields not given). — (SINGH*, S.
