Abstract

A series of 3, 4-diarylpyrazoles was synthesized and evaluated for their ability to selectively inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). A number of potent and selective inhibitors were identified and found to have oral anti-inflammatory activity in a rat carrageenan-induced foot pad edema assay.
