Formula II
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: Inflammation is a complex stereotypical reaction of the body expressing the response to damage of its cells and vascularized tissues. The inflammatory process is designed to provide a rapid mechanism by which the host can respond to the invasion of foreign material and return to homeostatic equilibrium. The biosynthetic cascade of arachidonic acid has been the object of intense research. Arachidonic acid is present in cell membranes as esters of phosphorylated glycerides, the so-called phospho¬lipids. Under some defined biological stimulus, certain lipases can hydrolyze, either directly or in stepwise fashion, these phosphorylated arachidonic glycerides to release free arachidonic acid. The lipases that perform such function, most prominent is the enzyme Phopholipase A2; this enzyme hydrolyzes the phospholipids and releases arachidonic acid in a single step. Arachidonic acid liberated from phospholipids by various stimulants, can be metabolized by a group of enzymes such as (a) arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase and arachidonoyl -CoA:lyophospholipid transferase reincorporate arachidonic acid back onto phospholipids, (b) the cyciooxygenase (COX) which are further sub divided mainly into cyclooxygehase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pathway to pro-inflammatory prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxane A2 (c) lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways to hydroperoxy eicosatetraenoic acids (HPETEs), hydroxy eicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) and leukotrienes (LTs). Lipoxygenases exist in three lipoxygenases (5-lipoxygenase, 12-lipoxygenase, 15-lipoxygenase), and the most prominent is 5-lipoxygenase. 5-Lipoxygenase metabolises
3

arachidonic acid into leukotrienes. Zileuton is an example of 5-iipoxygenase inhibitor, belonging to the N-hydroxyurea class of compounds. 5-Lipoxygenase operates in a much more complex way. For 5-lipoxygenase to be effective, it needs the cofaclors Ca2+, ATP and another protein nicknamed 5-FLAP (5-Lipoxygenase activating protein), a membrane protein. 5-Lipoxygenase relocates to the membrane binding with the three cofactors mentioned and starts the transformation of arachidonic acid eventually to result in leukotrienes. Inhibitors of the 5-FLAP are effective anti-inflammatory compounds switching off the 5-lipoxygenase chain. Among the 5-FLAP inhibitors may be mentioned, MK-866, (±) 2-fluoro-a-methyl-1,l'-biphenyl]-4-acetic acid. (Novel Inhibitors of Leukotriene, Edited by G. Folco, B, Samuelson, R. C. Murphy, Birkhlauser Verlag, Basel, 1999), (d) cytochrome P450 pathways to an epoxide, epoxyeicosatrienoic acid which further is converted to diols through the agency of epoxide hydrolases, (e) diffusion of arachidonic acid outside the cell.
Finally arachidonic acid can also be transformed into its ethanol amide, called Anadamide, identified as an endogenous ligand for cannabinoid receptors in brain cells. Traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) namely, indomethacin, flurbiprofen, ketoprofen, ketorolac, diclofenac and tolfenamic acid are used as first line therapy for relieving pain and inflammation. Chronic use of these drugs has been associated with the propensity for side effects such as gastrointestinal irritation (mucosal damage, bleeding) and also at the renal level, thereby limiting their therapeutic potential. In order to overcome these side effects, worldwide research activities focused on developing safer NSAIDs- as selective COX-2 inhibitors. Several selective COX-2 inhibiting drugs such as Celecoxib (J. Med.Chem. 1997, 40(9), 1347-1365), Rofecoxib (Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 1999, 9, 1773-1778), Valdecoxib (J. Med Chem. 2000, 43(5), 775-777), Parecoxib Na (J. Med Chem. 2000, 43(9), 1661-1663) and etoricoxib (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2002,296(2), 558-566) are being marketed as a new generation of NSAIDs. Some of these NSAIDs are represented in (Fig:A)

However, some of selective COX-2 inhibitors were found having similar side effects on edema, hypertension as of conventional NSAIDs and the potentially increased risk of thrombosis associated with these inhibitors (N. Eng. J. Med 2000, 343:1520-1528). While gastrointestinal safety of NSAIDs is a major limitation to the use of this class of drugs, there is an increased concern about their cardiovascular adverse effects. All such and other drawbacks associated with some of existing COX-2 drugs resulted in the withdrawal of
5

rofecoxib (Vioxx; Merck & Co, Inc, Whitehouse Station, NJ) in particular, from worldwide markets. Thus it is an issue of the importance of targeting selectivity for COX-2 and/or COX-1 (Circulation 2004, 109, 2068-2073).
Although several NSAIDs are in clinical practice even now, their use has been limited due to unwanted side effects. Discovery of an effective NSAID, which would be free from gastrointestinal irritation, ulcerogenicity, etc. make the research work a challenging task which ultimately is the aim of new drug development. The present investigation is aimed for the development of novel and NSAID useful for the treatment of various types of pain and inflammatory disorder.
These molecules were designed on the basis of 3-D-Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) and molecular modeling studies performed on a known NSAIDs (J. Chem. Inf. Model., 2007, 47 (2), 635 -643). The results encouraged inventors to synthesis and screened for anti inflammatory activity against Carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model.
OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION
The main object of the present invention relates to the development of novel biphenyl imidazole compounds and use of these compounds to treat inflammatory disorders. Novel use of compounds of Formula II to treat any inflammation in the living bodies. Object of the present invention is to overcome the side effects of the existing NSAIDs. such as gastrointestinal irritation, ulcerogenicity. with improved anti inflammatory effect.
