ChemInform Abstract
Sixteen title compounds such as (I) are prepared for evaluation of potency and selectivity against human COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. Most of the analogues in the series are very potent against the COX-2 enzyme. All of the compounds exhibit good selectivity in the COX-2 human whole blood assay. Compound (Ia) is the most potent and a selective oral COX- 2 inhibitor. Furthermore, this compound demonstrates excellent pharmacokinetic and metabolic properties.
