description

This paper focuses on the synthesis and the in vitro testing of dual COX-1/COX-2 inhibitors. Starting from structures of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) the diaryl methanone element was chosen as a lead. Modifications were carried out on this scaffold to obtain potent inhibitors of the COX enzymes. The N-(2-aroylphenyl)sulphonamides and -amides were studied in detail, and to consolidate the data evaluated the corresponding 3- and 4-regioisomers were also investigated. The potency and the enzyme selectivity were varied by structural modifications of the lead.
