Abstract

Two series of compounds (1 and 2) having structural features of the dual COX/5-LO inhibitor tepoxalin and the 5-LO inhibitor ABT-761 were prepared. Many of these hybrid compounds are potent COX and 5-LO inhibitors; two compounds (1a and 2t) inhibit eicosanoid biosynthesis in an ex vivo assay.
