Effect of dimerization on vibrational spectra of eumelanin precursors.

Stephen P Nighswander-Rempel et al.

Photochemistry and photobiology, 84(3), 613-619 (2008-01-23)

We have synthesized a compound ideally suited to the study of structure-function relationships in eumelanin synthesis. N-methyl-5-hydroxy-6-methoxy-indole (MHMI) has key functional groups strategically placed on the indole framework to hinder binding in the 2, 5, 6 and 7 positions. Thus

Substituted indole-2-carboxylates as in vivo potent antagonists acting as the strychnine-insensitive glycine binding site.

R Di Fabio et al.

Journal of medicinal chemistry, 40(6), 841-850 (1997-03-14)

A series of indole-2-carboxylates bearing suitable chains at the C-3 position of the indole nucleus was synthesized and evaluated in terms of in vitro affinity using [3H]glycine binding assay and in vivo potency by inhibition of convulsions induced by N-methyl-D-aspartate

Novel indole-2-carboxamide and cycloalkeno[1,2-b]indole derivatives. Structure-activity relationships for high inhibition of human LDL peroxidation.

C Kuehm-Caubere et al.

Journal of medicinal chemistry, 40(8), 1201-1210 (1997-04-11)

Series of indole-2-carboxamide and cycloalkeno[1,2-b]indole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in order to determine the necessary structural requirements for a high inhibition of human LDL copper-induced peroxidation. Various modulations were systematically performed on the indole and cycloalkeno[1,2-b]indole nuclei as well
