title: 1,5-Disubstituted indazol-3-ols with anti-inflammatory activity.
abstract: A series of new indazol-3-ol derivatives was synthesized. Some of these compounds exhibit interesting anti-inflammatory activities in various models of inflammation. 5-Methoxy-1-[quinoline-2-yl-methoxy)-benzyl]-1H-indazol-3-ol (27) strongly inhibits the oxidation of arachidonic acid to 5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid catalyzed by 5-lipoxygenase (IC50 = 44 nM). 27 also inhibits the contraction of sensitized guinea pig tracheal segments (IC50 = 2.9 microM). In guinea pigs treated with 27 (1 mg/kg i.p.) 2 h before antigen provocation, there was a marked inhibition (47%) of the antigen-induced airway eosinophilia. After topical application of 1 microgram/ear 27 inhibits the arachidonic acid induced mouse ear edema (41%).
