Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 2-Phenylpyran-4-ones: A New Class of Orally Active Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors
摘要:
A series of 2-phenylpyran-4-ones were prepared and evaluated for their ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Extensive structure-activity relationship work was carried out within this series, and a number of potent and selective COX-2 inhibitors were identified. Compounds having a p-methylsulfone group at the 2-phenyl ring showed the best COX-2 inhibitory activity. The introduction of a substituted phenoxy ring at position 3 enhanced both the in vitro and in vivo activity within the series. A selected group of 3-phenoxypyran-4-ones exhibited excellent activity in an experimental model of pyresis. The in vivo antiinflammatory activity of these compounds was confirmed with the evaluation of their antiarthritic and analgesic effectiveness. Moreover, their pharmacokinetic profile in rats is compatible with a once a day administration by oral route in humans. Within this novel series, compounds 21, 31, 34, and 35 have been selected for further preclinical. and clinical evaluation.

The synthesis and pharmacological activity of a series of bicyclic pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as potent and selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors are described. The new compounds were evaluated both in vitro (COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition in human whole blood) and in vive (carrageenan-induced paw edema and air-pouch model). Modification of the pyrimidine substituents showed that 6,7-disubstitution provided the best activity and led to the identification of 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-6,7-dimethyl-2-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (10f) as one of the most potent and selective COX-2 inhibitor in this series.
