Novel synthesis and anti-inflammatory activities of 2,5-disubstituted-dioxacycloalkanes

Bioorg Med Chem. 2005 Oct 1;13(19):5640-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2005.05.032.

Abstract

A novel stereospecific synthetic route to obtain a series of 2,5-disubstituted-dioxacycloalkanes is reported. Using an in vivo inhibition assay by monitoring xylene-induced ear edema in mice, the structure-activity relationship of the dioxacycloalkane compounds was studied, and compounds possessing high anti-inflammatory activity were identified.
