Abstract

The evolution of a quinoline based FLAP inhibitor, L-674,636, into a novel quinoline-indole hybrid compound: MK0591, is described. The new series of compounds are more potent, particularly in binding to FLAP, in inhibiting LTB4 biosynthesis in stimulated human PMN, and in the human whole blood assay.
