Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided novel chemical entities which have multiple utilities, e.g., as prodrugs of NSAIDs; as dual inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO); as anticancer agents (through promoting apoptosis and/or inhibiting the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)), and the like. Invention compounds comprise a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID), covalently linked to a hydroxamate. Invention compounds are useful for a variety of applications, such as, for example, treating inflammation and inflammation-related conditions; reducing the side effects associated with administration of anti-inflammatory agents; promoting apoptosis; inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases; and the like.
