Description

The invention relates to new cyclic derivatives of benzenesulfonamides with anti inflammatory effect.

Prostaglandins play a crucial role in inflammatory processes and the inhibition of prostaglandin formation, especially the formation of PGG₂, PGH₂ and PGE₂ is the common property of anti-inflammatory we kenden connections. The well-known non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Active substances (NSAIDs) that induced prostaglandin in inflammatory processes Reducing pain and swelling also affects prostaglandin regulated processes that are not associated with inflammatory processes. Therefore Most known NSAIDs in higher doses cause undesirable effects Side effects, often even life-threatening ulcers, especially Ma ulcers, bleeding from the stomach and the like. This makes it therapeu tical potential of these connections significantly limited.

Most known NSAIDs inhibit the formation of prostaglandins by inhibiting enzymes in human arachidonic acid metabolism, in particular by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). A first recently discovered enzyme of human arachidonic acid metabolism is the enzyme cyclooxygenase II (COX2). (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89, 7384, 1992). COX2 is induced by cytokines or endotoxins. The discovery of this inducible enzyme used in inflammatory processes plays a crucial role, opens up the possibility of selectively effective To look for compounds with an anti-inflammatory effect that reduce inflammation inhibit the development process more effectively without other prostaglandin-regulated pro processes and thereby less and less serious side effects gene.  

From WO 94/13635 5-methylsulfonamid-1-indanones are known, which the En Inhibit zym cyclooxygenase II and therefore in the treatment of inflammation processes can be used. The potential and the side effects The effects of these compounds have not yet been fully clarified. Fer ner these known compounds are poorly soluble and therefore ent ent outright disadvantages in the formulation and application. It exists hence the need for new cyclooxygenase II selective verbin solutions, on the one hand through improved solubility and on the other hand through their Action and side effect profile safe and efficient to use in the Are treating inflammatory processes.

The object of the present invention was therefore to provide new ones Selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) Inhibit cyclooxygenase II (COX2), and therefore less and less severe have undesirable side effects.

This task could be unexpectedly provided by new ones Cyclic derivatives of benzenesulfonamides are solved. These new ones Compounds are readily soluble and have a selective effect on that Enzyme Cyclooxygenase II excellent anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretric and antiallergic effect without, however, the extremely un wish to have side effects of known anti-inflammatory drugs.

The invention therefore relates to compounds of the formula I.
