Abstract
The authors have described the synthetic way to new N-pyridinyl(methyl)indolylpropanamides acting as non acidic NSAIDs. Pharmacomodulation was carried out at N-1 and C-5 of the indole ring and at the level of the propanamide chain. N-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-3-[5-chloro-1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-indol-3-yl]propanamide 32 represents one of the most potent compounds evaluated in the TPA-induced mouse ear swelling assay, with a level of activity higher than that of ibuprofen and comparable to that of dexamethasone.
