Background: A dual COX/5-LOX strategy was adopted to develop new oxindole derivatives with superior anti-inflammatory activity. Methods: Three series of oxindoles - esters 4a-p, 6a-l and imines 7a-o - were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Molecular docking and predicted pharmacokinetic parameters were done for the most active compounds. A new LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the quantification of 4h in rat plasma. Results: Compounds 4h, 6d, 6f, 6j and 7m revealed % edema inhibition up to 100.00%; also, 4l and 7j showed 100.00% writhing protection. Compound 4h showed dual inhibitory activity with IC50 = 0.0533 and 0.4195 μM for COX-2 and 5-LOX, respectively. Molecular docking rationalized the obtained biological activity. The pharmacokinetic parameters of 4h from rat plasma were obtained.
