Abstract

In this study, we report the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of original pyridinic sulfonamides related to nimesulide, a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) preferential inhibitor widely used as an anti-inflammatory agent. These original pyridinic derivatives were synthesized in three steps starting from the condensation of 3-bromo-4-nitropyridine N-oxide with appropriately substituted phenols, thiophenols, or anilines followed by a reduction of ...
