A new series of 1,3,5-trisubstituted 2-pyrazolines for the inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were synthesized. The designed structures include a COX-2 pharmacophore SO2CH3 at the para-position of the phenyl ring located at C-5 of a pyrazoline scaffold. The synthesized compounds were tested for in vitro COX-1/COX-2 inhibition and cell toxicity against human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines HT-29. The lead compound (4-chlorophenyl){5-[4-(methanesulfonyl)phenyl]-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl}methanone (16) showed significant COX-2 inhibition (IC50=0.05±0.01 μM), and antiproliferative activity (IC50=5.46±4.71 μM). Molecular docking studies showed that new pyrazoline-based compounds interact via multiple hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond interactions with key binding site residues of the COX-2 enzyme.

Aldehydes and ketones, including acetophenone and benzophenone, are readily protected under mild, neutral conditions in the presence of various alcohols or orthoformates and catalytic amounts of indium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.8 mol %) under either room temperature or mild heating conditions to give the corresponding cyclic and acyclic acetals and ketals in good to excellent yields. Acid sensitive functional groups, N-Boc, THP, and TBDMS do not undergo competitive deprotection under the reported conditions.
