4-Chlorophenyl-N-furfuryl-1,2,4-triazole Methylacetamides as Significant 15-Lipoxygenase Inhibitors: an Efficient Approach for Finding Lead Anti-inflammatory Compounds.

ABSTRACT: Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are a class of enzymes that catalyze the production of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as leukotrienes and lipoxins, via an arachidonic acid cascade as soon as they are released from the membrane phospholipids after tissue injury. In continuation of our efforts in search for new LOX inhibitors, a series of chlorophenyl-furfuryl-based 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their 15-LOX inhibitory activities. A simple precursor, 4-chlorobenzoic acid (a), was consecutively transformed into benzoate (1), hydrazide (2), semicarbazide (3), and N-furfuryl 5-(4-chlorobenzyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole (4), which when further merged with electrophiles (6a-o) resulted in end products (7a-o).
