Cachexia, including anorexia and other forms of weight loss, is a frequent complication of acute and chronic infections, and result from induction of cytokines, prostaglandins, and other inflammatory mediators that are critical for pathogen elimination. The present invention includes methods for the treatment or prevention of cachexic conditions while maintaining the production of factors essential for infection control through the administration of an effective amount of a cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibiting compound.

An improved synthesis of Flosulide (1), a selective COX-2 inhibitor, from the cheap and commercially available 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzaldehyde (2) by using an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of 4-(2,4-difluorophenoxy)-3-methanesulfonamidophenylpropionic acid (7) as the key step is reported.
