Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of hydroxylated E,E-1-(3'-indolyl)-5-(substituted phenyl)-1,4-pentadien-3-one derivatives / 药学学报

ABSTRACT

<p><b>AIM</b>A series of new 1,4-pentadien-3-one derivatives were synthesized to search for new Eight novel hydroxylated non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with potent activity.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>E,E-1-(3'-indolyl)-5-( substituted phenyl)-1,4-pentadien-3-one derivatives were synthesized by means of aldol condensation and characterized by 1H NMR, ESI-MS and element analysis. Their anti-inflammatory activity in vitro were evaluated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Preliminary in vitro pharmacological tests showed that all compounds exhibited anti-inflammatory activity.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compounds 4d and 4e exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activity and their anti-inflammatory activity was comparable to resveratrol, and were worthy of further study.</p>
