N-(3-Arylaminopyridin-4-yl)alkanesulfonamides as pyridine analogs of nimesulide: Cyclooxygenases inhibition, anti-inflammatory studies and insight on metabolism
摘要:
Nimesulide, a COX-2 preferential inhibitor with a favorable gastric and cardiovascular safety profile, was responsible for some cases of acute liver failure attributed to the nitrobenzene ring. A series of analogs of nimesulide resulting from isosteric replacement of the nitrobenzene ring by the pyridine nucleus, was synthesized and their ability to inhibit both cyclooxygenases (COXs) isoforms was evaluated in vitro using a human whole blood model. Compounds 19c, 23b and 23c displayed an important inhibitory activity associated to a COX-2/COX-1 selectivity ratio similar to or higher than that of celecoxib. The anti-inflammatory activity and the ability of several compounds to decrease leukocyte infiltration were further evaluated in vivo in a model of a X carrageenan-induced pleurisy. Plasma assays were performed on blood samples collected from rats and allowed us to identify the 4-position of the phenyl ring as a major metabolism site explaining the occasionally observed lack of correlation between in vitro and in vivo results.

Pyridine Analogues of Nimesulide: Design, Synthesis, and in Vitro and in Vivo Pharmacological Evaluation as Promising Cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 Inhibitors
摘要:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) represent one of the most prescribed medications, although the chronic use of such pharmacological agents is commonly associated with numerous side effects. The demonstration that the use of COX-2 selective or preferential inhibitors is associated with a better tolerability opened new horizons in the search of safer drugs for the management of inflammation. In the present study, we report the synthesis and the pharmacological evaluation of pyridine analogues of nimesulide, a COX-2 preferential inhibitor. The cyclooxygenases (COXs) inhibitory activities were evaluated in vitro using a human whole blood model. According to the in vitro results, a selection of compounds exhibiting moderate to high COX-2/COX-1 selectivity ratio (from weak COX-2 preferential inhibitors to compounds displaying a celecoxib-like selectivity profile) were further evaluated in vivo in a model of A carrageenan-induced pleurisy in rats. Some of the selected compounds displayed similar or improved anti-inflammatory properties when compared to nimesulide and celecoxib.
