Design and synthesis of sulfonyl-substituted 4,5-diarylthiazoles as selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Apr 19;9(8):1167-70. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(99)00158-4.

Abstract

A series of novel sulfone substituted 4,5-diarylthiazoles have been synthesized and evaluated for their inhibition of the two isoforms of human cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2). This series displays exceptionally selective COX-2 inhibition.
