Chemistry and antiinflammatory activities of prodolic-acid and related 1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-alkanoic acids. 1.
The synthesis and antiinflammatory activities of a series of 23 novel 1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-alkanoic acids are described and some relationships between structure and activity are discussed. One of these compounds, 1,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1-propylpyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetic acid (prodolic acid, USAN), has been selected for further studies.
