Abstract

A number of 1,5-diarylimidazoles has been synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activities of COX-2 catalyzed $PGE_2$ production. 1,5-Diarylimidazoles were obtained from imimes and p-toluenesulfonylmethyl cyanide (TosMIC). Imines were prepared from commercially available amines and aldehydes. Among the compounds tested, 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-5-(4­methylsulfonylphenyl)imidazole (2r) showed strong inhibitory activity, however, most diarylimidazoles exhibited little to low inhibitory activities against COX-2 catalyzed $PGE_2$ production.
