N-carbamoyl analogs of Zafirlukast: potent receptor antagonists of leukotriene D4

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Sep 22;8(18):2451-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00442-9.

Abstract

Exploration of the indole nitrogen region of Zafirlukast (1) has uncovered a potent series of cysteinyl leukotriene D4 (LTD4) antagonists. These studies showed that a variety of functionality could be incorporated in this region of the molecule without sacrificing potency. Efforts to exploit this site in order to improve oral efficacy are discussed.
