The compounds show promise for treating inflammatory and allergic diseases.
Abstract
Background: Oxazolidinone derivatives are a novel class of synthetic antibacterial agents, characterized by a five-membered heterocyclic ring containing oxygen and nitrogen and a carbonyl functionality at position 2. This pharmacophore is responsible not only for antibacterial activity but also for a variety of other biological activities, including anticancer activity, anticoagulant activity, and several others. A series of novel oxazolidinone derivatives containing a hydroxamic acid moiety were synthesized in our laboratories and identified as potent inhibitors of the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs). LTs are proinflammatory mediators implicated in allergic and inflammatory diseases. Currently, zileuton is the only FDA-approved 5-LO inhibitor, emphasizing the need to develop new agents for the treatment of such diseases.…
