In order to search for novel anti-inflammatory agents with high potency and safety, hydrocortisone was used as a leading compound and coupled with two groups of NO donors furoxans and nitrates through linkers with different length and flexibility. Compounds I1I7 and II1II8 were obtained and their structures were confirmed by MS, IR, 1H NMR spectra and elemental analysis. Compounds I3, II3 and II5 showed a good anti-inflammatory activity in the primary pharmacological screening. Furthermore II5 also exhibited a potent anti-inflammatory activity in acute, sub-acute and immune inflammatory models. Compared with hydrocortisone II5 could effectively prevent bone loss and avoid inducing hypertension in the safety screenings, indicating that it should have a better safety.

Key words: furoxan, safety, nitrate, anti-inflammatory activity, NO donor, hydrocortisone
