Background: The search is ongoing for ideal anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents with promising potency and reasonable selectivity. Methods: New N-substituted pyrazoles with or without an acetamide linkage were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. COX inhibitory testing, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation and antiproliferative activity assessments were performed. Results: All compounds exhibited anti-inflammatory activity up to 90.40% inhibition. They also exhibited good analgesic activity with up to 100% protection. N-benzensulfonamides 3d, 6c and 6h were preferentially selective agents toward COX-2. Compound 3d showed good cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and HTC116 cancer cell lines. Molecular modeling studies predicted the binding pattern of the most active compounds. Molecular dynamics confirmed the docking results. All compounds showed remarkable pharmacokinetic properties.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011720 Pyrazoles Azoles of two nitrogens at the 1,2 positions, next to each other, in contrast with IMIDAZOLES in which they are at the 1,3 positions.

D000893 Anti-Inflammatory Agents Substances that reduce or suppress INFLAMMATION. Anti-Inflammatory Agent,Antiinflammatory Agent,Agents, Anti-Inflammatory,Agents, Antiinflammatory,Anti-Inflammatories,Antiinflammatories,Antiinflammatory Agents,Agent, Anti-Inflammatory,Agent, Antiinflammatory,Agents, Anti Inflammatory,Anti Inflammatories,Anti Inflammatory Agent,Anti Inflammatory Agents
D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
