This paper describes the synthesis, pharmacological evaluation and docking studies of a series of new sulindac analogues. Overall, the designed compounds revealed good, in vivo, antinociceptive activity and satisfactory anti-inflammatory profile. Flexible molecular docking with COX-1/COX-2 has shown putative binding modes of the designed compounds while the theoretical evaluation of cell permeability based on Lipinski's rule of five has helped rationalize the biological results.
