Abstract: A modest, competent and green synthetic procedure for novel coumarinyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl-2-mercaptobenzoxazoles 8i-t has been reported. Analysis of the docked (PDB ID: 5IKR; A-Chain) poses of the compounds illustrated that they adopt identical conformations to the extremely selective COX-2 inhibitor. The biological outcomes as well as computational study suggested that the compounds originated to have elevated resemblance towards COX-2 enzyme than COX-1. The compounds 8i, 8l, 8q, 8r, 8s and 8t emerged as most potent and selective COX-2 inhibitors in contrast with Mefenamic acid. The selectivity index of 8l, 8n and 8r was respectively found to be 33.95, 20.25 and 24.98 which manifested their high selectivity against COX-2. Interestingly, the compounds which were active as COX-2 inhibitors were also active as antioxidant agents.
