Rofecoxib Analogues Possessing a Nitric Oxide Donor Sulfohydroxamic Acid (SO2NHOH) Cyclooxygenase-2 Pharmacophore: Synthesis, Molecular Modeling, and Biological Evaluation as Anti-inflammatory Agents

Expertly tailored! The development of safe anti‐inflammatory (AI) agents that are highly selective COX‐2 inhibitors has been challenging, as indicated by the clinical withdrawal of rofecoxib, valdecoxib, and lumiracoxib. We report novel rofecoxib analogues with a sulfohydroxamic acid nitric oxide (N...

Zusammenfassung:Expertly tailored! The development of safe anti‐inflammatory (AI) agents that are highly selective COX‐2 inhibitors has been challenging, as indicated by the clinical withdrawal of rofecoxib, valdecoxib, and lumiracoxib. We report novel rofecoxib analogues with a sulfohydroxamic acid nitric oxide (NO) donor COX‐2 pharmacophore that exhibit potent AI activity. The release of NO is expected to circumvent the contraindicated cardiovascular effects of rofecoxib.
