Abstract: | This Letter presents the synthesis and biological evaluation of a collection of 2-aminothiazoles as a novel class of compounds with the capability to reduce the production of PGE(2) in HCA-7 human adenocarcinoma cells. A total of 36 analogs were synthesized and assayed for PGE(2) reduction, and those with potent cellular activity were counter screened for inhibitory activity against COX-2 in a cell free assay. In general, analogs bearing a 4-phenoxyphenyl substituent in the R(2) position were highly active in cells while maintaining negligible COX-2 inhibition. Specifically, compound 5l (R(1)=Me, R(2)=4-OPh-Ph, R(3)=CH(OH)Me) exhibited the most potent cellular PGE(2) reducing activity of the entire series (EC(50)=90 nM) with an IC(50) value for COX-2 inhibition of >5 μM in vitro. Furthermore, the anti-tumor activity of analog 1a was analyzed in xenograft mouse models exhibiting promising anti-cancer activity. |
