Abstract
A series of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and 1,2,4-thiadiazoles containing a 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol substituent were prepared and evaluated as dual inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells. Several of these compounds show oral efficacy in the rat carrageenan footpad edema (CFE) and mycobacterium footpad edema (MFE) antiinflammatory models, without concomitant gastric ulceration. Structure-activity relationships are discussed. The best compounds (ID40 values in MFE of 3-8 mg/kg po) contain guanidine-derived substituents on the heterocyclic ring.
