A heterocyclic aromatic oxazole compound of the formula (I)
1
wherein Z is an oxygen atom; one of R and R
1
is a group of the formula
2
wherein R
3
is lower alkyl, amino or lower alkylamino, and R
4
, R
5
, R
6
and R
7
are the same or different and each is hydrogen atom, halogen atom, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy or amino, provided that at least one of R
4
, R
5
, R
6
and R
7
is not hydrogen atom, and the other is an optionally substituted cycloalkyl, an optionally substituted heterocyclic group or an optionally substituted aryl; and R
2
is a lower alkyl or a halogenated lower alkyl, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The heterocyclic aromatic oxazole compound and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have antipyretic action, analgesic action, anti-inflammatory action, and particularly, selective inhibitory action on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and are expected to be useful as anti-inflammatory agents with less side-effects such as digestive tract disorders.
式(I)中,Z为氧原子;R和R1中的一个为式2的基团,其中R3为低碳基、氨基或低碳基氨基,R4、R5、R6和R7相同或不同,且每个为氢原子、卤素原子、低碳基、低碳氧基、三氟甲基、羟基或氨基,但至少有一个为非氢原子,另一个为可选取代的环烷基、可选取代的杂环基或可选取代的芳基;R2为低碳基或卤代低碳基,以及其药学上可接受的盐。该杂环芳香族噁唑化合物及其药学上可接受的盐具有退热作用、镇痛作用、抗炎作用,特别是对环氧合酶-2 (COX-2)的选择性抑制作用,并有望作为抗炎剂使用,具有较少的消化道副作用。
