Rational design of 6-methylsulfonylindoles as selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors
摘要:
The introduction of 3-arylmethyl, 3-aryloxy and 3-arylthio moieties into a 6-methylsulfonylindole framework using rational drug design led to potent, selective COX-2 inhibitors having efficacy in a rat carrageenan air pouch model. Incorporation of a conformationally more rigid 3-aroyloxy substituent onto the 6-methylsulfonylindole scaffold led to selective, but considerably less potent COX-2 inhibitors. Variation of the hydrophilicity and size of the indole 2-substituent of 3-arylthio-6-methylsulfonylindole inhibitors led to modulation of the COX-2 human whole blood (HWB) potency and selectivity.
