The effect of structural change on the biological activity of a series of imidazothiazoles and thiazolobenzimidazoles is described.It was found that compounds with polar substituents at the 2 or 3 position of the ring system are less acutely toxic while maintaining antiinflammatory activity.Other structural changes, such as the incorporation of a gem-dimethyl substituent in the 6 position, increase acute toxicity and eliminate antiinflammatory activity.The compound with the best activity/toxicity ratio contains an alkyl sulfonyl substituent on the thiazole ring.The thiazolobenzimidazole analogues are more potent than the imidazole analogues.
