A series of C5-substituted licofelone ([2,2-dimethyl-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-5-yl]acetic acid) derivatives were developed by a parallel synthesis approach and investigated for cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells as well as for anti-inflammatory potency in vitro and in vivo. Dependent on the C5-substituent, the compounds showed high selectivity for MCF-7 cells. Especially 2-oxoethyl benzoate derivatives were inactive at the MDA-MB-231 cell line and as active as 5-FU at MCF-7 cells. C5-acetyl (8a), -2-oxoethyl formiate (8e), -2-oxoethyl acetate (81) and -2-oxoethyl propionate (8g) derivatives showed growth inhibition at both cell lines, comparable with cisplatin. Modifications significantly reduced the inhibitory potency at COX-1 and COX-2 in vitro and in the xylene-induced ear swelling assay in mice. Only compound 8a was equipotent to licofelone, ibuprofen and celecoxibe in vivo. (C) 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
