Background: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and sulindac are effective for colorectal cancer prevention in humans and some animal models, but concerns over gastro-intestinal (GI) ulceration and bleeding limit their potential for chemopreventive use in broader populations. Recently, the combination of aspirin with a phospholipid, packaged as PL-ASA, was shown to reduce GI toxicity in a small clinical trial. However, these studies were done for relatively short periods of time.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome characterized by colorectal adenomas and a near 100% lifetime risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Prophylactic colectomy, usually by age 40, is the gold-standard therapy to mitigate this risk. However, colectomy is associated with morbidity and fails to prevent extra-colonic disease manifestations, including gastric polyposis, duodenal polyposis and cancer, thyroid cancer, and desmoid disease.

Galectin-3 (gal-3) plays a crucial role in various cellular events associated to tumor metastasis and progression. In this direction, gal-3 binding core-shell glyconanoparticles based on citrus pectin (CP) have been designed for targeted, trigger-responsive combination drug delivery. Depolymerization via periodate oxidation in heterogeneous medium yielded low-molecular weight dialdehyde oligomers (CPDA) of CP with a gal-3 binding property ( = 160.

A new series of N'-(substituted phenyl)-2-(1-(4-(methylsulfinyl) benzylidene)-5-fluoro-2-methyl-1-inden-3-yl) acetohydrazide derivatives were prepared in good yields in an efficient manner. All the compounds were fully characterised by the elemental analysis and spectral data. Synthesised compounds were evaluated for antioxidant activity by DPPH method.

The current therapeutic demand focuses more on the discovery of safer NSAIDs rather than exploring more potent alternatives. The dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibition is a promising strategy for designing compounds with an enhanced efficacy, reduced side-effects and a broader anti-inflammatory spectrum in comparison to classical NSAIDs. In the present study, a hybridization strategy was adopted to combine the binding features of the non-selective COX inhibitor "sulindac" and the selective COX-2 inhibitor "celecoxib" which show 5-LOX inhibitory activity with that of licofelone and a celecoxib pyridone analogue which show dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibitory activity to design new series of pyrazole sulfonamide derivatives which, by design, should possess dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibitory activity.
