Abstract:
The compounds of the present invention are of the formula (I): A-X-(CH2)n-Y-(CH3)m-Z wherein: A is an non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAIA); A-X is an ester or amide linkage derived from the carboxylic acid moiety of the NSAIA, wherein X is O or NR; R is H, C1-C6 alkyl or C3-C6 cycloalkyl; Y, if present, is O, NR, C(R)2, CH(OH) or S(O)n'; n is 2 to 4 and m is 1 to 4 when Y is O, NR, or S(O)n'; n is 0 to 4 and m is 0 to 4 when Y is C(R)2 or is not present; n is 1 to 4 and m is 0 to 4 when Y is CH(OH); n' is 0 to 2; and Z is (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) wherein: R' and R3 are H, C(O)R, C(O)N(R)¿2, PO3?-, or SO¿3?-; R' is H or C¿1?-C6 alkyl; and R' and R?3¿ together may form a ring having structure: (1) or (2); and provided that when Z is (e), X is not O. The compounds of the present invention also include pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of formula (I). Methods for treating inflammatory pathologies are disclosed. Particularly, the methods utilize pharmaceutical compositions containing certain compounds having an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant moiety covalently linked by an amide or ester bond. The compounds are useful in preventing and treating inflammatory disorders through several mechanisms.
