Synthesis and biological evaluation of substituted 2-sulfonyl-phenyl-3-phenyl-indoles: A new series of selective COX-2 inhibitors
A new series of substituted 2-sulfonyphenyl-3-phenyl-indole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit COX-2 and COX-1enzymes. Most of the compounds synthesized were found to be highly potent and selective inhibitors of COX-2. This work led to the discovery of 2-aminosulfonylphenyl-3-phenyl-indole 5a which possesses higher activity and selectivity for COX-2 than Celecoxib both in vitro and in vivo.
