Substituted 9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indoles (β-carbolines) identified in our laboratory as potential pharmacophore for designing macrofilaricidal agents, have been explored further for identifying the pharmacophore responsible for high order of adulticidal activity. This has led to syntheses and macrofilaricidal evaluations of a number of 1-aryl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylate derivatives (3-7). The macrofilarical activity was initially evaluated in vivo against Acanthoeilonema viteae. Amongst all the synthesized compounds, only twelve compounds namely 3a, 3c, 3d, 3f, 4c, 4d, 4f, 5a, 6f, 6h, 6i and 7h have exhibited either >90% micro- or macrofilaricidal activity or sterilization of female worms. These compounds have also been screened against Litomosoides carinii and of these only 3f and 5a have also been found to be active. Finally these two compounds have been evaluated against Brugia malayi. The structure activity relationship (SAR) associated with position-1 and 3 substituents in β-carbolines have been discussed. It has been observed that the presence of carbomethoxy at position-3 and an aryl substituent at position-1 in β-carbolines effectively enhance antifilarial activity particularly against A. viteae. Amongst the various compounds screened, methyl 1-(4-methylphenyl)-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylate (4c) has shown highest adulticidal activity and methyl 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylate (3a) has shown highest microfilaricidal action against A. viteae at 50mg/kgx5 days (ip). Another derivative of this compound namely 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (5a) exhibited highest activity against L. carinii at 30mg/kgx5 days (ip) and against B. malayi at 50mg/kgx5 days (ip) or at 200mg/kgx5 days (po).
