Abstract: 4-Hydroxythiazoles have been identified as potent inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase in vitro exhibiting IC50's of less than 1 microM. An investigation of structure-activity relationships showed that the most potent inhibitors of this series are the 5-phenyl derivatives. The corresponding thiazolidin-4-one analogues were found to be relatively inactive. The 4-hydroxythiazoles were active inhibitors against 5-lipoxygenase in both intact rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes and human whole blood. The compounds were also selective inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase, displaying only weak activity against other related enzymes, cyclooxygenase and 12- and 15-lipoxygenase.
