Abstract

Based on a new pyrazole sulfonate synthetic method, a novel class of molecules with a basic structure of pyrazole N-aryl sulfonate have been designed and synthesized. The interest in conducting intensive research stems from quite evident anti-inflammatory effects exhibited by the compounds in preliminary animal experiments. A series of compounds were synthesized by different substitutions of the R<sup>1</sup>, R<sup>2</sup>, and R<sup>3</sup> groups. Within the series, 4-iodophenyl 5-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonate and phenyl 5-methyl-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonate exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity (% inhibition of auricular edemas = 27.0 and 35.9, respectively); the in vivo analgesic activity of phenyl 5-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonate and 2-chlorophenyl 5-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonate was confirmed to be effective (inhibition ratio of writhing = 50.7% and 48.5% separately), and compounds phenyl 5-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonate , 4-iodophenyl 5-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonate and 2-chlorophenyl 5-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonate were identified as selective COX-2 inhibitors (SI = 455, 10,497 and >189 severally). In Acute Oral Toxicity assays conducted in vivo, the lethal dose 50 (LD<sub>50</sub>) of 4-iodophenyl 5-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonate and 2-chlorophenyl 5-methyl-3-(p-tolyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonate to mice was >2000 mg/kg BW.
