Quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis of a series of 2,3-diaryl benzopyran analogues as novel selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Aug 2;14(15):4005-11. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.05.059.

Abstract

A series of recently synthesized 2,3-diaryl benzopyrans reported as novel selective cycloxygenase-2 inhibitors was subjected to quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis. Our attempt in correlating the derived physicochemical properties with the COX-2 inhibitory activity resulted in some statistically significant QSAR models with good predictive ability. The QSAR results and the probable pharmacophore features investigated through our study explored some interesting findings for the design of potent new class of selective COX-2 inhibitors.
