In this article, a series of 22 triarylpyrazole derivatives were evaluated for in vitro antiinflammatory activity as inhibitors of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E (PGE) release induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in murine RAW 264.7 macrophages. The synthesized compounds 1a-h, 2a-f and 3a-h were first examined for their cytotoxicity for determination of the non-toxic concentration for antiinflammatory screening, so that the inhibitory effects against NO and PGE production were not caused by non-specific cytotoxicity.

A total of 34 new compounds were synthesized containing a terminal arylsulfonamide moiety and a different linker between the sulfonamide and pyridine ring at position 4 of the pyrazole ring. All the target compounds were tested for both cytotoxicity and nitric oxide (NO) production inhibition in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.

The target compounds 1a-u were first tested for cytotoxicity to determine a non-toxic concentration for antiinflammatory screening, so that the inhibitory effects against NO and PGE production would not be caused by cytotoxicity.

A novel series of substituted pyrimidine compounds bearing N-phenylpyrazole and terminating with aryl and cyclic sulfonamido moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vitro as antiproliferative agents against a panel of 53 cell lines of different tissues at the NCI. Among them, compound 1d with p-chlorobenzenesulfonamido terminal moiety, ethylene spacer, and 4-chloro-3-methoxyphenyl ring at position 3 of the pyrazole nucleus showed the highest mean percentage inhibition value over the whole cancer cell line panel at 10 μM concentration. It showed broad-spectrum antiproliferative activity over many cell lines of different cancer types.
