Pentafluorosulfanyl-containing flufenamic acid analogs: Syntheses, properties and biological activities

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2015 Oct 15;25(20):4437-40. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2015.09.012. Epub 2015 Sep 8.

Abstract

Pentafluorosulfanyl-containing analogs of flufenamic acid have been synthesized in high yields. Computationally, pKa, LogP and LogD values have been determined. Initial bioactivity studies reveal effects as ion channel modulators and inhibitory activities on aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) as well as COX-1 and COX-2.

Keywords: AKR1C3 inhibitor; Bile acid-sensitive ion channel; Computational conformational analyses; Flufenamic acid; Ion channel modulator; Pentafluorosulfanyl group.
