Description
General description
A cell-permeable, non-toxic naphthyl-oxazole compound that acts as a highly potent, selective, active site directed, mixed type inhibitor of lipoxygenase-12/15 (IC₅₀ = 200 nM for human). The inhibition appears to be non-reductive and reversible in nature. Displays excellent selectivity over 5-LOX (IC₅₀ >50 µM), 12-LOX (IC₅₀ >100 µM), and 15-LOX (IC₅₀ >100 µM) and does not affect the activity of COX-1 and -2 in any significant manner (J. Med. Chem.57, 4035.
