Amide derivatives of meclofenamic acid as selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Feb 25;12(4):521-4. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(01)00792-2.

Abstract

This paper describes SAR studies involved in the transformation of the NSAID meclofenamic acid into potent and selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors via neutralization of the carboxylate moiety in this nonselective COX inhibitor.
