Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of anti-inflammatory activity of ester and amine derivatives of indoline in RAW 264.7 and peritoneal macrophages.

Unlabelled: A prolonged increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-6 occurs in inflammatory diseases. Although existing therapies like steroids and TNF-α antagonists are effective they may cause serious adverse effects. We describe the preparation and evaluation for anti-inflammatory activity of 11 novel derivatives of indoline carbamates with a propionic ester, 2-aminoethyl, 3-aminopropyl 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl or 3-(dimethylamino)propyl group in positions 3 or 1.
