A hitherto unknown class of celecoxib analogs was designed for evaluation as dual inhibitors of the 5-lipoxygenase/cyclooxygenase-2 (5-LOX/COX-2) enzymes. These compounds possess a SO2Me (11a), or SO2NH2 (11b) COX-2 pharmacophore at the para-position of the N1-phenyl ring in conjunction with a 5-LOX N-hydroxypyrid-2(1H)one iron-chelating moiety in place of the celecoxib C-5 tolyl group. The title compounds 11a-b are weak inhibitors of the COX-1 and COX-2 isozymes (IC50 = 7.5-13.2 μM range). In contrast, the SO2Me (11a, IC50 = 0.35 μM), and SO2NH2 (11b, IC50 = 4.9 μM), compounds are potent inhibitors of the 5-LOX enzyme comparing favorably with the reference drug caffeic acid (5-LOX IC50 = 3.47 μM). The SO2Me (11a, ED50 = 66.9 mg/kg po), and SO2NH2 (11b, ED50 = 99.8 mg/kg po) compounds exhibited excellent oral anti-inflammatory (AI) activities being more potent than the non-selective COX-1/COX-2 inhibitor drug aspirin (ED50 = 128.9 mg/kg po) and less potent than the selective COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib (ED50 = 10.8 mg/kg po). The N-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)one moiety constitutes a novel pharmacophore for the design of cyclic hydroxamic mimetics capable of chelating 5-LOX iron for exploitation in the design of 5-LOX inhibitory AI drugs.
