    Abstract

    Derivatives of salicylic acid have been synthesized as potential lipoxygenase inhibitors. Agents containing a phenolic dihydroxy moiety showed potent (IC(50)10(-6)-10(-7) M) inhibition of the growth of murine colonic tumour cells in vitro, and were effective inhibitors of 5-, 12- and 15-lipoxygenase in intact cells. The catechols were also potent inhibitors of rabbit reticulocyte 15-lipoxygenase (IC(50) approximately 1 microM).
