Abstract :
A series of 2,3-diarylthiophene compounds was prepared and their biological activities were evaluated against human Cox-1 and Cox-2 enzymes. It appears that the methylsulfone group is essential for both the activity and selectivity for the Cox-2 enzyme. Removal of the methylsulfone group gave relatively selective Cox-1 inhibitors.
