Abstract

The present work reports the synthesis of a series of compounds structurally related to the antiinflammatory and antihistaminic agent nimesulide (I), in which the p-nitrophenyl moiety has been replaced by pyridine (1a-c) and pyridine N-oxide (2a-c). In addition, two compounds (3a, 4a) have been synthesized in which the p-nitro group of I was substituted by a cyano and a iH-tetrazol-5-yl group, respectively. Representative 1a and 2a were also ...
