title: (2E,4E)-N-(4-(1H-indol-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)alkyl-5-(substituted phenyl)-2,4-pentadienamides as antiallergic agents with antihistaminic and anti slow-reacting substance (SRS) activities.
abstract: As an extension of our study aiming to discover a novel compound with dual activities against histamine and slow-reacting substance (SRS), we synthesized two types of indolylpiperidine derivatives, 3 and 4-20. Testing for in vivo antianaphylactic activity and for in vitro anti-SRS activity revealed that (2E,4E)-5-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(2-(4-(1H-indol-3-yl)+ ++piperidin-1- yl)ethyl)-2,4-pentadienamide (11) exhibited potent dual activities with ED50 = 0.89 mg/kg and IC50 = 1.43 microM, respectively. However, the plasma concentration of unchanged 11 was very low when administered orally in guinea pigs. This result can be explained by fast formation of a glucuronic acid conjugate.
