The invention encompasses the novel compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (II), which are prodrugs that convert in vivo to diaryl-2-(5H)-furanones useful in the treatment of cyclooxygenase-2 mediated diseases. These prodrugs are far more soluble in aqueous media than the active agents into which they convert, in vivo. As such compounds of Formula (I) and (II) are advantageous for, among other things intravenous administration. The invention also encompasses certain pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treatment of cyclooxygenase-2 mediated diseases comprising the use of compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (II).
本发明涵盖了式(I)和式(II)的新型化合物,它们是在体内转化为对环氧合酶-2介导的疾病有用的二芳基-2-(5H)-
呋喃酮的前药。这些前药在
水介质中比它们转化成的活性物质更易溶解,在体内。因此,式(I)和(II)的化合物在静脉内注射等方面具有优势。本发明还涵盖了某些药物组合物和治疗环氧合酶-2介导的疾病的方法,包括使用式(I)和式(II)的化合物。
