1,3-Diaryl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindole derivatives: A new series of potent and selective COX-2 inhibitors in which a sulfonyl group is not a structural requisite

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jm990965x

Novel tetrahydro-2H-isoindoles have been prepared and evaluated as inhibitors of the COX-2 isoenzyme. A 1,3-diaryl substitution on the central polycyclic ring system and absence of a sulfonyl moiety are the two structural features of this chemical series.
