Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as scaffolds for the design of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors

J Med Chem. 1997 Feb 28;40(5):819-24. doi: 10.1021/jm9606150.

Abstract

Representative nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) cyclooxygenase inhibitors such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and indomethacin were used as orally bioavailable scaffolds to design selective 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitors. Replacement of the NSAID carboxylic acid group with a N-hydroxyurea group provided congeners with selective 5-LO inhibitory activity.
