- (b) X and X' are each independently O or S;
- (c) each Y is independently hydrogen or unsubstituted straight, branched or cyclic alkanyl having from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms, or the two Y's are bonded to form an alkanyl ring having from 3 to about 7 carbon atoms;
- (d) Z is unsubstituted branched or cyclic alkyl, or unsubstituted or alkanyl-substituted phenyl or benzyl, Z having from 3 to about 10 atoms other than hydrogen;
- (e) R and R' are each selected from hydrogen, hydroxy, straight, branched or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, and cyclic alkyl having from 3 to about 7 carbon atoms; unsubstituted or substituted aryl, heteroaryl or heterocyclic groups; or R and R' are bonded together to form a ring having from about 3 to about 8 atoms wherein from about 1 one to about 4 atoms may be heteroatoms.
- 2. The compound of claim 1 wherein X is oxygen and R is hydrogen or methyl.
- 3. The compound of claim 1 wherein each Y is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl and ethyl; and Z is selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted C.sub.4 -C.sub.6 branched alkanyl having 2 branches, unsubstituted C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkanyl, and unsubstituted phenyl.
- 4. The compound of claim 3 wherein R is hydrogen, both Y are methyl, and Z is t-butyl.
- 5. The compound of claim 3 wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, and R' is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 straight or single-branched alkyl or straight alkyl with a terminal cyclic alkyl, saturated or unsaturated with one double bond between non-terminal carbon atoms, or C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkanyl.
- 6. The compound of claim 5 wherein X is oxygen, and R' is unsubstituted.
- 7. The compound of claim 6 wherein both Y are methyl, and Z is t-butyl.
- 8. The compound of claim 3 wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, and R' is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, I-methylbutyl, ethoxy, benzyl, phenethyl, 2-methoxyethyl, 2-thiazolyl, 2-thiazolinyl, and 3-pyridyl.
- 9. The compound of claim 8 wherein both Y are methyl, and Z is t-butyl.
- 10. The compound of claim 9 wherein X is oxygen, and R is hydrogen.
- 11. The compound of claim 8 wherein R' is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl and ethoxy.
- 12. The compound of claim 11 wherein R is hydrogen, both Y are methyl, Z is t-butyl, and both X and X' are oxygen.
- 13. The compound of claim 3 wherein R and R' are bonded to together to form a ring having from about 3 to about 7 atoms, wherein from about 1 to about 3 atoms are heteroatoms.
- 14. The compound of claim 13 wherein the ring formed by R and R' is selected from the group consisting of pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, thiomorpholinyl, piperazinyl and morpholinyl.
- 15. A composition comprising a compound of any of claims 1, 4, 10 and 13 and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier.
- 16. A method of treating inflammation or pain comprising administation, to a human or lower animal in need of such treatment, of a safe and effective amount of a compound of any of claims 1, 4, 10 and 13.
- 17. A method of treating arthritis comprising daily peroral administration, to a human in need of such treatment, of from about 1 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg of a compound of any of claims 1, 4, 10 and 13.
