Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX) is important enzyme in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes, and is a potential target in the treatment of asthma and allergy. We designed and synthesized a series of benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles as 5-LOX inhibitors. Fourteen compounds prepared showed the inhibition of LTC4 formation with IC(50) value of 0.12-23.88 μM. Also two compounds 2d and 2g showed improved airway hypersensitiveness.Entities:
