Conformational requirements at the prostaglandin cyclooxygenase receptor site: a template for designing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
When space-filling models of the peroxy radical precursor of PGG were compared with models of 2(S)-(3-chloro-4-cyclohexylphenyl) propionic acid and other acidic cyclooxygenase inhibitors several common structural features were revealed. This led us to propose a template for designing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) based on the conformation of the peroxy radical immediately prior to its cyclisation to PGG. The template can be equated with a complementary cyclooxygenase receptor site.
