The CB2 receptor plays a crucial role in analgesia and anti-inflammation. To develop novel CB2 agonists with high efficacy and selectivity, a series of indole derivatives with N-ethyl morpholine moieties (compounds 1-56) were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated. Compounds 1, 2, 3, 46 and 53 exhibited high CB2 receptor affinity at low nanomolar concentrations and good receptor selectivity (EC50(CB1)/EC50(CB2) greater than 1000). The most active compound, compound 2, was more potent than the standard drug GW405833 for in vitro agonistic action on the CB2 receptor. More importantly, in a rat model for CFA-induced inflammatory hyperalgesia, compound 2 had a potent anti-inflammatory pain effect within 12 hours after administration. At the 1 h time point, compound 2 had a dose-dependent reversal for hyperalgesia with an estimated ED50 value of 1.097 mg kg-1. Moreover, compound 2 significantly suppressed the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) in CFA-induced lesions. These protective effects of compound 2 on inflammatory pain were superior to those of GW405833, suggesting that compound 2 may be a promising therapeutic drug that needs further validation.

Compound 1 was previously reported to be a potent inhibitor of cPLA 2α in both artificial monomeric substrate and cell-based assays. However, 1 was inactive in whole blood assays previously used to characterize cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase inhibitors. The IC50 of 1 increased dramatically with cell number or lipid/detergent concentration. In an attempt to insert an electrophilic ketone between the indole and benzole acid moieties, we discovered that increasing the distance between the two moieties gave a compound with activity in the GLU (7-hydroxycoumarinyl-γ- linolenate) micelle assay, which contains lipid and detergent. Extensive structure-activity relationship work around this lead identified a potent pharmacophore for cPLA2α inhibition. The IC50s between the GLU micelle and rat whole blood assays correlated highly. No correlation was found for other parameters, including lipophilicity or acidity of the required acid functionality. Compounds 25, 39, and 94 emerged as potent, selective inhibitors of cPLA2α and represent well-validated starting points for further optimization.

A series of new N-(pyridin-4-yl)-(indol-3-yl)alkylamides 44-84 has been prepared in the search of novel antiallergic compounds. Synthesis of the desired ethyl (2-methyindol-3-yl)acetates 1-4 was achieved by indolization under Fischer conditions; Japp-Klingemann method followed by 2- decarboxylation afforded the ethyl (indol-3-yl)alkanoates 17-25. Amidification was successfully carried out by condensation of the corresponding acids or their N-aryl(methyl) derivatives with 4-aminopyridine promoted by 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide. Efforts to improve the antiallergic potency of the title series by variation of the indole substituents (R1, R2, R) and the length of the alkanoic chain (n = 1, 2, 3) led to the selection of N-(pyridin-4-yl)-[1-(4-fluorobenzyl)indol-3- yl]acetamide 45, out of 41 compounds. This amide was 406-fold more potent than astemizole in the ovalbumin-induced histamine release assay, using guinea pig peritoneal mast cells, with an IC50 = 0.016 μM. Its inhibitory activity in IL-4 production test from Th-2 cells was identical to that of the reference histamine antagonist (IC50 = 8.0 μM) and twice higher in IL-5 assay: IC50 = 1.5 and 3.3 μM, respectively. In vivo antiallergic activity evaluation confirmed efficiency of 45 in sensitized guinea pig late phase eosinophilia inhibition, after parenteral and oral administration at 5 and 30 mg/kg, respectively. Its efficiency in inhibition of microvascular permeability was assessed in two rhinitis models; ovalbumin and capsaicin- induced rhinorrhea could be prevented after topical application of submicromolar concentrations of 45 (IC50 = 0.25 and 0.30 μM); and it also exerted significant inhibitory effect in the first test after iv and oral administration, with ID50 = 0.005 and 0.46 mg/kg.
