-
The present invention describes substituted 3-Aminoalkoxyindoles, as compounds of the general formula (I), its stereoisomers, its radioisotopes, its geometric forms, its N-oxides, its polymorphs, its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, its pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, its useful bioactive metabolites and any suitable combination of the above. The invention also discloses the processes for preparing such compounds of the general formula (I), its stereoisomers, its radioisotopes, its geometric forms, its N-oxides, its polymorphs, its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, its pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, its useful bio-active metabolites and also includes any suitable combination of the above. Further described are various methods of administering these compounds of general formula (I), i.e. pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms, their composition and their use in either therapy or diagnosis.

- Indole inhibitors of human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase A2. 1. Indole-3-acetamides
-
Phospholipases (PLAs) produce rate-limiting precursors in the biosynthesis of various types of biologically active lipids involved in inflammatory processes. Increased levels of human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase A2 (hnps-PLA2) have been detected in several pathological conditions. An inhibitor of this enzyme could have therapeutic utility. A broad screening program was carried out to identify chemical structures which could inhibit hnps-PLA2. One of the lead compounds generated by the screening program was 5-methoxy-2-methyl-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-acetic acid (13a). We describe the syntheses, structure-activity relationships, and pharmacological activities of a series of indole-3-acetamides and related compounds derived from this lead. This SAR was undertaken with the aid of X- ray crystal structures of complexes between the inhibitors and hnps-PLA2 which were of great value in directing the SAR.
