Two C5-substituted licofelone derivatives were developed and investigated for cytotoxicity against mammary (MCF-7 and MDA-MB 231) as well as colon carcinoma (HT-29) cancer cells. Both compounds were at least 2-fold more active than 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and licofelone against mammary carcinoma cells. At HT-29 cells, they were less active, but nevertheless distinctly as active as 5-FU and still 2-fold more active than licofelone. However, variation of the C5- carboxylic group results in an occasionally remarkable decrease of anti-inflammatory potency in in vitro and in vivo.

A series of C5-substituted licofelone ([2,2-dimethyl-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-7- phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-5-yl]acetic acid) derivatives were developed by a parallel synthesis approach and investigated for cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells as well as for anti-inflammatory potency in vitro and in vivo. Dependent on the C5-substituent, the compounds showed high selectivity for MCF-7 cells. Especially 2-oxoethyl benzoate derivatives were inactive at the MDA-MB-231 cell line and as active as 5-FU at MCF-7 cells. C5-acetyl (8a), -2-oxoethyl formiate (8e), -2-oxoethyl acetate (8f) and -2-oxoethyl propionate (8g) derivatives showed growth inhibition at both cell lines, comparable with cisplatin. Modifications significantly reduced the inhibitory potency at COX-1 and COX-2 in vitro and in the xylene-induced ear swelling assay in mice. Only compound 8a was equipotent to licofelone, ibuprofen and celecoxibe in vivo.
