Abstract

This communication describes the synthesis and in vitro evaluation of a novel potent series of phosphodiesterase type (IV) (PDE4) inhibitors. The compounds described contain an indole moiety which replaces the 'rolipram- like' 3-methoxy-4-cyclopentoxy motif. Several of the compounds presented possess low nanomolar IC50's for PDEIV inhibition. In vivo activities determined from measurement of serum TNF-α levels in LPS challenged mice (mouse endotoxemia model) are also reported.
