  • Title: Synthesis and screening of cyclooxygenase inhibitory activity of some 1,3-dioxoisoindoline derivatives.
    Author: Cizmeciolu M, Pabuguoglu V, Ballar P, Pabuççuoğlu A, Soyer Z.
    Journal: Arzneimittelforschung; 2011; 61(3):186-90. PubMed ID: 21528644.
    Abstract:
    In this study, 15 compounds bearing N,N-phthaloylacetamide structure designed by the molecular simplification approach based on thalidomide structure were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory potencies against cyclooxgenase (COX) isoenzymes, namely COX-1 and COX-2. The results suggested that the N,N-phthaloylacetamide structure, as a primary amide, has inhibitory activity against cyclooxygenase isoenzymes with a higher COX-1 selectivity. The conversion of the primary amide to secondary or tertiary derivatives lowered the potency but favored the COX-2 selectivity thus yielding the compounds with stronger COX-2 inhibiting activity.
