Abstract
A series of pyridine-linked indanone derivatives were designed and synthesized to discover new small molecules for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Compounds 5b and 5d exhibited strongest inhibitory activity against TNF-α-induced monocyte adhesion to colon epithelial cells (an in vitro model of colitis). In TNBS (2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid)-induced rat colitis model, oral administration of the compounds 5b and 5d ameliorated colitis with significant recovery in altered expressions of E-cadherin, TNF-α and IL-1β expressions, indicating 5b and 5d as potential agents for therapeutics development against IBD.
