Structure-Activity Relationship Studies of 1-Substituted 3-Dodecanoylindole-2-carboxylic Acids as Inhibitors of Cytosolic Phospholipase A2-Mediated Arachidonic Acid Release in Intact Platelets
A series of 3‐dodecanoylindole‐2‐carboxylic acid derivatives with varied carboxylic acid substituents at the indole 1‐position were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibitarachidonicacidrelease in human platelets mediated by the cytosolicphospholipase A2. Structure‐activity relationshipstudies revealed that increasing the polarity of these substituents by the introduction of additional
