Synthesis, molecular modelling and enzymatic evaluation of (±)3,5-diphenyl-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-ones as new potential cyclooxygenase inhibitors
摘要:
A series of substituted (+/-)3,5-diphenyl-2-thioxoimidazolin-4-ones was synthesized in order to design new type-2 cyclooxygenase (COX-2) inhibitors. This study has led to Molecules which completely inhibit human recombinant COX-2 at 50 mu M. Molecular modelling highlighted drug interactions with the active site of both cyclooxygenases and suggested modifications to enhance the selectivity of the compounds. In human blood, COX-2 expression was then induced by LPS, and the inhibitory potency of these drugs was disappointing. This weak activity was attributed to a poor aqueous stability of these imidazolidinones Substituted by two aryl in position 3 and 5 (15 min < t(1/2) < 130 min). The improvement of the stability of this heterocycle Could generate a novel template to treat COX-associated diseases Such as arthritis, rheumatoid polyarthritis and cancer. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
