We synthesized a series of new naphthalene derivatives: naproxen- and 6-methoxy naphthalene acetic acid-like 1-5. In these compounds the carboxylic function, typical of the classical NSAIDs, was replaced by a methylsulfonamido (1, 2 and 6a-c) or methylsulfonyl (3-5) group present in some selective COX-2 inhibitors. We also synthesized compounds 7 and 8 in which the naphthalene portion was substituted by tetrahydronaphthalene ring. Some of the new compounds were assayed for their enzymatic inhibitory activity towards cycloxygenase enzymes. Compounds 4 and 6b, at a concentration of 10 μM exhibit percentage inhibition values of 65%, 50% and 29%, 87% towards COX-2 and COX-1, respectively. The substitution of carboxylic group with a mehylsulfonamido or a methylsulfonyl groups does not allow to direct the selectivity versus to cycloxygenase enzymes.

Inhibition of mutant B-Raf signaling, through either direct inhibition of the enzyme or inhibition of MEK, the direct substrate of Raf, has been demonstrated preclinically to inhibit tumor growth. Very recently, treatment of B-Raf mutant melanoma patients with a selective B-Raf inhibitor has resulted in promising preliminary evidence of antitumor activity. This article describes the design and optimization of tetrahydronaphthalene-derived compounds as potent inhibitors of the Raf pathway in vitro and in vivo. These compounds possess good pharmacokinetic properties in rodents and inhibit B-Raf mutant tumor growth in mouse xenograft models.
