A series of novel indomethacin analogues with carbaboranes as three-dimensional substitutes for the chlorophenyl ring have been prepared. Their cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition and enzyme selectivity has been tested and compared to the corresponding adamantyl analogues. Surprisingly, only the ortho-carbaborane derivatives were active compounds. Preliminary biological studies gave an interesting insight into the validity of employing carbaboranes as pharmacophores.
已经制备了一系列新型吲哚美辛类似物,其中碳硼烷作为氯苯基环的三维取代物。已经测试了它们对环氧化酶(COX)的抑制作用和酶选择性,并与相应的金刚烷基类似物进行了比较。令人惊讶的是,只有邻位碳硼烷衍生物是活性化合物。初步的生物学研究深入了解了将碳硼烷用作药效团的有效性。
