3-(4-Bromophenyl)-6-nitrobenzo[1.3.2]dithiazolium ylide 1,1-dioxide (5) was discovered as a new prototype for dual inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX). Thus, the structure-activity relationships of benzo[1.3.2]dithiazolium ylide 1,1-dioxide skeleton were carried out. The 6-NO2 group played an essential role in the inhibitory activity. In addition, moderate-sized lipophilic substituents at the para-position of the 3-aryl moiety were required for dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibitory activity. Among the identified potent dual inhibitors, 3-(4-tbutylphenyl) derivative 30c (IC50 values of 0.27 μM and 0.30 μM against COX-2 and 5-LOX, respectively) and 3-(4-biphenyl) derivative 30f (IC50 values of 0.50 μMand 0.15 μMagainst COX-2 and 5-LOX, respectively) were the most potent dual COX-2/ 5-LOX inhibitors. Intraperitoneal administration of 30c at 100 mg/kg demonstrated potent acute antiinflammatory activity. As a result, benzo[1.3.2]dithiazolium ylide 1,1-dioxide represented a novel scaffold for the exploitation in developing dual COX-2/5-LOX inhibitors.

The construction of diaryl sulfides through the cross-coupling of aryl iodides and thiols in microwave heating is described. By using this method, a variety of diaryl sulfides can be prepared in a mild condition and in high yields. Deactivated 4-nitrothiophenol was effective to afford the product in 94% yield. Sterically hindered ortho-substituted aryl iodides or thiophenols provided diaryl sulfides effectively by this microwave-assisted coupling reaction.
