摘要:
Inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 ( COX-2) is a promising anti-inflammatory therapeutic strategy, but longterm medication with COX-2-inhibitors ( coxibs) may be associated with adverse cardiovascular effects. Functionalization of existing lead structures with nitric oxide ( NO)-releasing moieties is an auspicious approach to minimize these effects. In this regard, an organic nitrate (-O-NO2) substituent was introduced at a ( pyrazolyl) benzenesulfonamide lead structure. The novel NO-coxibs selectively inhibited COX-2 in a low micromolar range ( IC50( COX-2): 0.22-1.27 mu M) and are supposed to be promising antiinflammatory compounds with, in parallel, positive effects on vascular homeostasis.
