Efficient synthesis and 5-LOX/COX-inhibitory activity of some 3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2012 Aug 1;22(15):5031-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2012.06.012. Epub 2012 Jun 13.

Abstract

A series of 3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives has been prepared and subsequently evaluated with regards to the inhibition of 5-LOX/COX. Structure optimization furnished derivatives with promising in vitro activity as dual 5-LOX/COX inhibitors with submicromolar IC(50) values for inhibition of 5-LOX and COX-1, respectively.
