title: Synthesis and inhibitory effects of 2-pyridyl-2-thiobenzoxazole and 2-pyridyl-2-thiobenzimidazole derivatives on arachidonic acid metabolism.
abstract: A series of new 2-pyridyl-2-thiobenzoxazole and 2-pyridyl-2-thiobenzimidazole compounds was prepared and investigated by a number of in vitro methods in order to determine their prostaglandin synthesis inhibitory activity. The most active compound decreases prostaglandin production and carrageenin edema, but has a less platelet antiaggregatory activity.
