Abstract

Based on the promising activity of an indole-3-carboxamide derivative, a nonphenolic analog of mycophenolic acid (MPA), we report herein the synthesis of a compound containing two important features for the activity of MPA, the ring methoxy and methyl. The synthesis was accomplished using two strategies; a method dependent on stepwise building of the hexenoate side chain followed by the indolecarboxamide ring system, and a ...
