1,3-Diarylcycloalkanopyrazoles and diphenyl hydrazides as selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2
1The R.W. Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Raritan, NJ 08869, USA.
Abstract:
Novel 1,3-diarylcycloalkanopyrazoles 1, and diphenyl hydrazides 2 were identified as selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2. The 1,3-diaryl substitution pattern of the pyrazole ring in 1 differentiates these compounds from most of the known selective COX-2 inhibitors that contain two aryl rings at the adjacent positions on a heterocyclic or a phenyl ring. Similarly, the two phenyl rings in 2 are also separated by three atoms. SAR of both phenyl rings in 1 and 2, and the aliphatic ring in 1 will be discussed.
