Research Abstract

A new series of 2-aminothiazole derivatives was designed and prepared as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) regulators and COX-1/COX-2 inhibitors. The screening of the synthesized compounds for PDE5 activity was carried out using sildenafil as a reference drug. Strikingly, compounds 23a and 23c were found to have a complete inhibitory effect on PDE5 (100%) at 10 μM without causing hypotension and the limited side effect of PDE5 inhibitors, suggest a distinctive therapeutic role of these derivatives in erectile dysfunction. On the other hand, compounds 5a, 17, 21 and 23b increased the PDE5 activity (PDE5 enhancers) at 10 μM. In addition, the study includes the screening of the COX-1/COX-2 inhibition induced by the synthesized compounds. All tested compounds have an inhibitory effect against COX-1 activity (IC50 = 1.00–6.34 μM range) and COX-2 activity (IC50 = 0.09–0.71 μM range). Moreover, a …
