We have already demonstrated that celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor, has a proapoptotic effect on synovial fibroblasts obtained from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here we report on the development of two novel derivatives of celecoxib, N-(2-aminoethyl)-4-[5-(4-tolyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamide (TT101) and 4-[5-(4-aminophenyl)-3-(trifl...

In the title compound, C(11)H(12)N(2)OS, the pyrazole ring makes a dihedral angle of 85.40 (8)° with the phenyl ring. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane.

In the crystal of the title compound, C(15)H(11)ClN(2)O, the molecules are linked by C-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯π inter-actions. The chloro-phenyl and phenyl rings are twisted with respect to the central pyrazolone ring, making dihedral angles of 18.23 (8) and 8.35 (8)°, respectively. The N-N and C=O bond lengths are comparable to those reported for pyrazolone compounds.

The title salt, C9H8FN2 (+)·C2F3O2 (-), crystallizes with two independent cations (A and B) and two independent anions (C and D) in the asymmetric unit. In the cations, the dihedral angles between the benzene and pyrazolium rings are 23.7 (3)° in cation A and 1.8 (8)° in cation B. In the crystal, each anion links to the two cations via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a U-shaped unit with an R 4 (...
