Abstract

5-Hydroxymethyl-/carboxyl-2,3-diaryl-tetrahydro-furan-3-ols have been investigated for their COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory activities. Compounds 17, 18 and 20 have been identified as showing appreciable COX-2 inhibition and selectivity. The group present at C-5 of tetrahydrofuran and the substituents at the two phenyl rings, through their interactions with active site amino acid residues, significantly affect the activities of these molecules. The quantitative structure-activity relationship studies indicate the role of logP, TPSA, molecular connectivity and valence connectivity towards the activities of these molecules.
