Abstract
The synthesis of 1-(halobenzyl) and 1-tosyl-3-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-1H-indoles, 1-(halobenzyl) and 1-tosyl-3-(1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-1H-indoles and 1-(halobenzyl)-3-(4H-1, 2, 4-triazol-4-ylmethyl)-1H-indoles is described. 3-(Azolylmethyl)-1H-indoles were obtained in three steps from 1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (1) by benzylation or tosylation, reduction and azole moiety fixation. In an alternative method, the bromo intermediates issued from the corresponding alcohols were condensed with the azolium sodium salts. Inhibitory activity against P450arom and P45017α, and influence on retinoic acid metabolism were evaluated. Three imidazole compounds exhibited potent and selective aromatase inhibitory activity.
