A systematic structure-activity exploration of the carboxylic acid region in a series of indole- or indazole-derived leukotriene antagonists 1 led to several discoveries. Use of the 3-methoxy-p-tolyl fragment (illustrated in acid 1) for connecting the indole and the acidic site provides the most potent carboxylic acids 1, tetrazoles 20, and aryl sulfonimides 21. The aryl sulfonimides are 5-500 times more potent (in vitro and/or in vivo) than the corresponding carboxylic acids 1. The o-tolyl sulfonimides such as 114 show greater oral potency than the phenyl sulfonimides at a given level of in vitro activity. Acidic keto sulfone derivatives 10 (Nu = CH(CO2CH3)SO2Ph) mimic the activity of the sulfonimides.

Triphenylmethanols (or their ethers) bearing phenylazo groups react with trifluoroacetic acid to give deeply colored solutions of the tritylium ions 7(+) - 9(+), (RC6H4N=NC6H4)nC(+)(C6H5)3-n (R = H, Me, Cl, NO2, MeO, H2N, Me2N), whose long wavelengths VIS absorptions and lowfield 1H-NMR signals are consistent with the existence of through-conjugated ?-electron systems.After addition of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid significant hypsochromic shifts of the VIS bands as well as additional proton deshieldings in the 1H-NMR spectrum are observed, which are in accordance with the formation of proximally azo-protonated phenylazotritylium ions 7(+)*H(+), 8(+)*2H(+), and 9(+)*3H(+), (RC6H4N=N(+)H-C6H4)nC(+)(C6H5)3-n.Fully analogous acid-strength-dependent ionisation/protonation reactions result for the overall p-substituted ions 17(+), 18(+), (RC6H4N=NC6H4)C(+)(C6H4R')2 (R,R' = Me, MeO, Me2N), as well as for the azobistritylium system 10(2+), (C6H5)2C(+)C6H4N=NC6H4C(+)(C6H5)2, and its azoxy derivative 11(2+).The linearly extended bis- and trisazo systems 19(+), 22(+), MeC6H4N=N(C6H4N=N)1,2C6H4C(+)(C6H5)2 and the (phenylazo)styryl system 20(+), MeC6H4N=NC6H4CH=CHC6H4C(+)(C6H5)2 in trifluoroacetic acid do not show any significant color changes relativ to the corresponding monofunctional parent types.In trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, however, compounds 19(+), 22(+) exhibit the usual bathochromic shifts of the longest wavelenght VIS absorption accompanying the increasing protonation of the polyazo system.In the case of the tritylium ions containing azomethine bridges, 24(+), only for the methoxy derivative 24b(+) indications for the existence of the conjugatively extended tritylium system (MeOC6H4N=CHC6H4)C(+)(C6H5)2 are found.The amide derivatives 26(+)-29(+), on the other hand, presents no clues for the existence of through-conjugated systems of the kind ArC(OH)=NC6H4C(+)Ar2 and ArN=C(OH)C6H4C(+)Ar2, respectively.
