A series of 76 derivatives of the indolecarboxamide 1 were synthesized, which allows a detailed SAR investigation of this well known scaffold. The data enable the definition of a predictive QSAR model which identifies several compounds with an activity comparable to 1. A selection of these new H4R antagonists was synthesized and a comparison of predicted and measured values demonstrates the robustness of the model (47–55). In addition to ...
