Abstract

Series of 1,5-diaryl pyrazole ester derivatives have been synthesized and found to contain potent inhibitory activity against cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. The article describes synthesis of the target pyrazole analogs and biological assay using Carrageenan induced rat paw for investigation.
