New polysubstituted N-arylpyrazole derivatives were synthesized from N1-arylsydnone with acetylene and boronic acid, including 2-thiophenyl, 3-thiophenyl, 2-benzo[b]thiophenyl, or dibenzothiophenyl-4-boronic acid, via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and Suzuki coupling reaction. Based on the growth inhibitory activity results against lung carcinoma (NCI-H226), nasopharyngeal (NPC-TW01), and T-cell leukemia (Jurkat) cancer cells, compounds 5d and 7d with dibenzothiophenyl bioisostere possessed the significant inhibitory activity for NPC-TW01 (32 μM and 16 μM) and NCI-H226 (16 μM and 8.9 μM), respectively.
