Synthesis and biological evaluation of thiophene [3,2-b] pyrrole derivatives as potential anti-inflammatory agents

Bioorg Med Chem. 2004 Mar 1;12(5):1221-30. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2003.11.003.

Abstract

A series of thiophene [3,2-b] pyrrole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated their abilities to inhibit anti-inflammatory activity. In this series, substituent effects at the N-1, 2 and 5 positions of thiophene [3,2-b] pyrrole were examined. The results obtained are compared to those previously reported anti-inflammatory drugs like Tenidap sodium, Diclofenac sodium and Piroxicam. The results indicated the critical role of the group linked in the N-1 position and 2, 5 positions of thiophene [3,2-b] pyrrole with different functional groups.
