A series of novel 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors was prepared via treatment of various diaryl amides with tetrachlorosilane/sodium azide. All compounds were tested in cyclooxygenase (COX) assays in vitro to determine COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory potency and selectivity.
