Abstract

A series of N-substituted indole-2-carboxylic acid esters have been prepared by replacing the benzoyl group of indomethacin with a benzyl and a phenyl group. The carbocyclic acid side chain was extended via creating an ester structure by using several dialkylaminoalkyl groups. The receptor docking studies were performed to investigate the docking mode of each compound by using dock 4.0. All the compounds were shown to be docked at the ...
