For the development of safer anti-inflammatory agents, simple aromatic compounds containing propenone moiety were prepared and evaluated for their dual COX/5-LOX inhibitory activities. Among the 17 prepared compounds, most of the compounds exhibited considerable COX/5-LOX inhibitory activities. Especially compound C-15 showed the most significant dual COX/5-LOX inhibitory activity.

One-pot synthesis of 4,6-diaryl-3-cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thiones and their transformation to substituted thieno[2,3-b;4,5-b]dipyridines and pyrido[3",2":4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines

one step by the reaction of elemental sulfur, malononitrile, and 2-aryl-1-aroylethylenes in the presence of excess triethylamine. The products were used in one-pot syntheses of substituted thieno[2,3-b;4,5-b]dipyridines and pyrido[3",2":4,5]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines.
Designed and synthesized were a series of pyridines substituted at 2, 4, and 6 positions with various 5- or 6-memberd heteroaromatics as antitumor agents. They were evaluated their topoisomerase I and II inhibitory activities along with cytotoxicities against several human cancer cell lines. Among the prepared compounds, 10-20 showed significant topoisomerase I or II inhibitory activities, and 21-26 showed considerable cytotoxicities against several human cancer cell lines. Structure-activity relationship study indicates that 4-pyridine at 6-position of central pyridine plays a key role in biological activity. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
