Abstract: | In this paper, the binding mode of original pyridinic compounds structurally related to nimesulide, a preferential cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor, is analyzed by docking simulations in order to understand structure-activity relationships of this family. Structural modifications are proposed to reverse the selectivity of the more active inhibitor of the series characterized by a preferential activity on COX-1. On the basis of these modifications, a new compound with a bromo substituent was designed and showed a COX-2 selective inhibition. |
