Synthesis and Cyclooxygenase (COX-1/COX-2) Inhibiting Property of 3,4-Diarylfuranones.
593-601A series of diarylfuranone including some
5-hydroxy derivatives and naphthofuranones have been synthesized as a unique class
of COX-1/COX-2 inhibitors. In contrast to the earlier
report of structurally similar rofecoxib,
these compounds have been characterized as nonselective but highly potent COX inhibitors.
Structure Activity Relationship study confirmed that methoxy and methyl sulfanyl
moieties are essential for COX activity and replacement or removal of any of this
group affect COX-2 potency drastically rather than COX-1 efficacy. Studies on in
vitro, in vivo screens and pharmacokinetics are discussed
