Toward the development of chemoprevention agents. Part 1: Design, synthesis, and anti-inflammatory activities of a new class of 2, 5-disubstituted-dioxacycloalkanes
A new class of 2, 5-disubstituted-dioxacycloalkanes were designed and synthesized via stereoselective synthetic method as cancer chemoprevention agents. The anti-inflammatory activities of these compounds were tested using the xylene-induced mouse ear edema model. Some of these compounds exhibited comparable or better anti-inflammatory activities than that of aspirin suggesting that they can be further developed as potential ...
