Selective inhibition of both cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 15-lipooxygenase (15-LOX) may provide good strategy for alleviation of inflammatory disorders while minimizing side effects associated with current anti-inflammatory drugs. The present study describes the synthesis, full characterization and biological evaluation of a series of thiadiazole-thiazolidinone hybrids bearing 5-alk/arylidene as dual inhibitors of these enzymes. Our design was based on merging pharmacophores that exhibit portent anti-inflammatory activities in one molecular frame. 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine (3) was efficiently synthesized, chloroacetylated and cyclized to give the key 4-thiazolidinone (5). Knovenagel condensation of 5 with different aldehydes afforded the final compounds 6a-m, 7, 8 and 9. These compounds were subjected to in vitro COX-1/COX-2, 15-LOX inhibition assays. Compounds (6a, 6f, 6i, 6l, 6m and 9) with promising potency (IC50 = 70–100 nM) and selectivity index (SI = 220-55) were further tested for in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and effect on gastric mucosa. The most promising compound (6l) inhibits COX-2 enzyme at a nanomolar concentration (IC50 = 70 nM, SI = 220) with simultaneous inhibition of 15-LOX (IC50 = 11 µM). These results are comparable to the potency and selectivity of the standard drugs of both enzymes; celecoxib (COX-2 IC50 = 49 nM, SI = 308) and zileuton (15-LOX IC50 = 15 µM) in one construct. Interestingly three compounds (6a, 6l and 9) exhibited equivalent to or even higher than that of celecoxib in vivo anti-inflammatory activity at 3 h interval with good GIT safety profile. Molecular docking study conferred binding sites of these compounds on COX-2 and 15-LOX. Such type of compounds would represent valuable leads for further investigation and derivatization.
