Abstract: The oxetane ring serves as an isostere of the carbonyl moiety, suggesting that oxetan-3-ol may be considered as a potential surrogate of the carboxylic acid functional group. To investigate this structural unit, as well as thietan-3-ol and the corresponding sulfoxide and sulfone derivatives, as potential carboxylic acid bioisosteres, a set of model compounds has been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for physicochemical properties. Similar derivatives of the cyclooxygenase inhibitor, ibuprofen, were also synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of eicosanoid biosynthesis in vitro. Collectively, the data suggest that oxetan-3-ol, thietan-3-ol, and related structures hold promise as isosteric replacements of the carboxylic acid moiety.
