摘要
Indoles carrying a cyclic ester (gamma-butyrolactone) at C-3 position have been synthesized by the allylation of 3-indoleglyoxylate followed by iodocyclisation and the nucleophilic replacement of the iodo-group. Screening of these molecules for COX-2 inhibition and anti-cancer activities has identified compounds 10 and 11 as highly potent and selective for COX-2 as well as showing remarkable anti-cancer activities (better than that of indomethacin).
