Abstract
The synthesis of N-benzyl-2-chloroindole-3-carboxylic acids related to indomethacin is reported. These compounds were tested on in vitro human neutrophil activation. Some of them, more soluble in water, were tested to define the influence on prostaglandin biosynthesis via inhibition of cyclooxygenases (COX1 and COX2) by a chemiluminescent method suitable for fast screening. Several derivatives showed inhibitory effects and in some cases were more active than the parent compound.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
