3-Substituted pyrazoles and 4-substituted triazoles as inhibitors of human 15-lipoxygenase-1

Investigation of 1N-substituted pyrazole-3-carboxanilides as 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) inhibitors demonstrated that the 1N-substituent was not essential for activity or selectivity. Additional halogen substituents on the pyrazole ring, however, increased activity. Further development led to triazole-4-carboxanilides and 2-(3-pyrazolyl) benzoxazoles, which are potent and selective 15-LOX-1 inhibitors.
