INHIBITION OF 5-LIPOXYGENASE AND CYCLOOXYGENASE PATHWAY MEDIATED DISEASES

摘要

A method of dual inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase pathway mediated diseases and cyclooxygenase pathway mediated diseases in a subject in need thereof which comprises administering to such subject an effective, non-toxic 5-lipoxygenase pathway inhibiting amount or an effective, non-toxic cyclooxygenase pathway inhibiting amount of a diaryl-substituted imidazole fused to a second unsaturated 5 or 6 membered heterocyclic ring containing a nitrogen bridgehead atom wherein said second 5 membered ring also contains a sulfur or oxygen atom or said 6 membered ring may also contain an additional nitrogen atom.
