[412] Inhibition of COX I and COX II in Vitro
[413] In vitro COX I and COX II inhibitory activity of the compounds of the present invention is described by J. Barnett et al. Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1209, 130-139 (1994)], using partially purified COX I and COX II enzymes.
[414] COX I and COX II samples were diluted with Tris-HCl buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.9) containing 2 mM EDTA and 10% glycerol, first with 2 mM phenol for 5 minutes, then with 1 micromole of hematin Reconstitution by an additional 5 minutes incubation. 125 μl of reconstituted COX I and COX II enzymes were preincubated for 10 minutes at room temperature in a shake water bath, wherein the compounds of the present invention are dissolved in 2-15 μl of DMSO or carrier vehicle (control sample). 25 μl of 1- [14C] arachidonic acid (80,000 to 100,000 cpm / tube; final concentration of 20 micromoles) was added to initiate the enzyme reaction and allowed to continue for an additional 45 seconds. The reaction was terminated by addition of 100 μl 2N HCl and 750 μl water. Fractions (950 μl) of the reaction mixture were loaded into 1 ml C ₁₈ Sep-Pak column (JT Baker, Phillipsburg, NJ), which was previously subjected to 2 to Wash with 3 ml of methanol and equilibrate with 5-6 ml of distilled water. The oxygenated product was qualitatively eluted with 3 ml of acetonitrile / water / acetic acid (50: 50: 0.1, v / v) and the radioactivity in the eluate was measured with a scintillation counter.
[415] Compounds of the invention are active in this assay.
[416] The COX inhibitory activity (expressed as IC ₅₀ of some compounds of the invention, meaning a concentration that inhibits 50% of the COX enzymes analyzed) is as follows:

[419] Anti-inflammatory activity
[420] Anti-inflammatory activity of the compounds of the present invention is described by Winter, C.A. et al., "Carrageenan-Induced Edema in Hind Paw of the Rat as an Assay for Anti-inflammatory Drugs", Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. 111, 544-547 (1962), can be used to determine the inhibition of carrageenan-induced paw edema using variations of the method disclosed. This assay has been used primarily for the in vivo analysis of the anti-inflammatory activity of most NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents) and was considered to be predictable in human efficacy. Briefly, the test substance was prepared as a solution or suspension in an aqueous vehicle containing 0.9% sodium chloride, 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose, 0.4% polysorbate 80, 0.9% benzyl alcohol and 97.3% distilled water. Is administered orally to female rats in 1 ml volume. Control rats receive vehicle only. After 1 hour, 0.05 ml of a 0.5% solution of carrageenan (Lambda IV, Sigma Chemical Co.) solution in 0.9% saline is injected into the area under the plantar foot of the right hind paw. After 3 hours the rats are euthanized in a carbon dioxide atmosphere, the tatso-femoral joints are cut to recover the hind paws, and the left and right paws are weighed. The weight of the right foot is increased compared to the left foot in each animal and the average increase in each group is calculated. Anti-inflammatory activity of the test substance is expressed as an increased inhibition rate of hind paw weight in the test group compared to the control group to which the vehicle was administered.
[421] The compounds of the present invention are active in this assay.

[423] Inhibition of Eicosanoid Synthesis in Vivo
[424] The activity of a compound of the present invention that inhibits eicosanoid (prostaglandin E ₂ ) synthesis in inflamed tissues in vivo is described by Putaki, M., et al., "Selective Inhibition of NS-398 on prostanoid production in inflamed. tissue in rat Carrageenan Air-pouch Inflammation ", J. Pharm. Pharmacol. 45, 753-755 (1993) and Masferrer, JL, et al., "Selective Inhibition of induciblecyclooxygenase 2 in vivo is Antiflammatory and Nonulcerogenic" Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 91, 3228-3232 (1994), can be measured by carrageenan-induced inflammation (air-pouch model) in rats using a variation of the method disclosed. In this assay, air-pouches are generated in rats and the concentration of PGE ₂ in the air-pouch exudate is measured by enzyme immunoassay. Briefly, male rats are anesthetized using a 60:40 CO ₂ : O ₂ mixture, followed by subcutaneous injection of 20 ml of sterile air into the dorsal region of the back under anesthetic conditions. Injection of sterile air results in subcutaneous "air pouches". The next day, an additional 10 ml of sterile air is injected into the previously formed pouch in the same manner. Test substance is 1 ml per 100 g body weight as a solution or suspension in an aqueous vehicle containing 0.9% sodium chloride, 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose, 0.4% polysorbate 80, 0.9% benzyl alcohol and 97.3% water. It was administered orally in the volume of. Control rats received vehicle only. After 30 minutes, 5 ml of 0.5% carginine (Sigma, Type IV Lambda) solution was injected into the air pouch. Rats are euthanized 3 or 6 hours after compound administration. 10 ml of solution containing 5.4 mM EDTA and 10 μg / L indomethacin in 0.9% sterile saline are injected into an air pouch; Cutting the air pouch; Harvest the exudate. Record the total exudate volume, and transfer the samples to ELISA (Terzyme, PerSeptive Diagnostics, Boston, Mass.) For PGE ₂ and 6-keto PGF ₁ according to the manufacturer's instructions. Analyze and analyze TxB ₂ by radioimmunoassay (Cat. No. NEK-037 of New England Nuclear Research, Boston, Mass.).
[425] Calculate the average concentration of PGE ₂ for each group. Anti-inflammatory activity of the test substance is expressed as percent inhibition of PGE _{2 in} the test group compared to the control.

[427] Analgesic activity
[428] Analgesic activity of the compounds of the invention is described by Randall, L.O and Selitto, J.J., "A Method for Measurement of Analgesic Activity on Inflamed Tissue", Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., CXI, 4, 409 (1957) and Gans et al., "Anti-Inflammatory and Safety Profile of DuP 697, a Novel Orally Effective Prostaglandin Synthesis Inhibitor", J. Pharmcol. Exp. Ther., 254, No. 1, 180 (1990) can be measured by modifying the method. In this assay, 0.1 ml of 20% brewer's yeast (Sigma, St. Louis) in deionized water is injected under the foot of the left hind paw of a male Sprague Dawley rat. After 2 hours, the test material was transferred to a solution or suspension in an aqueous vehicle containing 0.9% sodium chloride, 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose, 0.4% polysorbate 80, 0.9% benzyl alcohol and 97.3% distilled water. Orally administered in a volume of 1ml per 100g body weight. Control rats receive vehicle only. After 1 hour, the hind paws were placed on the platform of BasileAnalgesy-Meter (Ugo Biological Research Apparatus, model number 7200, Italy), and mechanical force was applied to the back of the rats. Add. The analgesic activity of the compounds of the present invention can also be measured using an adjuvant-induced arthritis pain model in rats, wherein pain is described by Nuss, GW, "Treatment of Adjuvant Arthritis in rats with Anti. -inflammatory Drugs ", Arthritis Rheum., 9, 394-403 (1966) and Winter, Kling PJ, Tocco, DJ and Tanabe, K.," Analgesic activity of Diflunisal [ MK-647; 5- (2,4-Difluorophenyl) salicylic acid] in Rats with Hyperalgesia Induced by Freund's Adjuvant ", J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 211, 678-685 (1979), as assessed by the animal's sound response when squeezing or twisting an inflamed ankle joint.
