Compounds of formula (I) other than diethyl 2-acetylamino-2-(5-(3-(2-acetylamino-3-ethoxy-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-oxopr opyl)-1H-indol-5-ylmethyl)-1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)malonate and N-(2-(5-(3-(2-acetylaminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ylmethyl)-1H-indol-3-yl)eth yl)acetamide are new. A = NR<1>-C(Q)-R<2>, NR<1>-C(Q)-NR<2>R<3> or C(Q)-NR<2>R<3>; Q = O or S; R<1> - R<3> = H or R; or NR<2>R<3> = 1-piperazinyl, piperidino or pyrrolidino; R = optionally Q'-substituted 1-6C alkyl, 2-6C alkenyl, 2-6C alkynyl, 3-8C cycloalkyl or (3-8C cycloalkyl)-(1-6C alkyl); 1-6C polyhaloalkyl; or optionally Q-substituted aryl, aryl(1-6C alkyl), aryl(2-6C alkenyl), heteroaryl, heteroaryl-(1-6C alkyl) or heteroaryl-(2-6C alkenyl); B = NR<1>-C(Q)-R<2>, NR<1>-C(Q)-NR<2>R<3>, C(Q)-NR<2>R<3>, C(Q)-OR<1>, NR<1>-C(Q)-OR<2> or NR<2>R<3>; G1, G3 = 1-4C alkylene optionally substituted by one or more of OH, COOH, CHO, R, OR, C(O)OR or C(O)R; Cy = a group of formula (i) in which G2 is attached to the benzene ring and G1 or G3 is attached to the other ring, or a group of formula (ii) in which G2 is attached to the D ring and G1 or G3 is attached to the other ring: X, Y' = S, O, C, CH or CH2; R<4> = H, halogen, CF3, OH, COOH, CHO, NH2, NHR, NRR', NHC(O)R, C(O)NHR, R, OR, C(O)R or COOR; R' = R; Z' = S, O, CH, CH2, NH, NSO2-phenyl or NR; D' = a benzene or pyridine ring; G2 = an optionally substituted W1(CH2)nW2(CH2)mW3 group containing no adjacent heteroatoms; W1-W3 = bond, O, S, CH2, CHR, NH or NR; n, m = 0 - 6; Q' = one or more of OH, 1-6C alkoxy, 1-6C polyhaloalkyl, NH2, 1-6C alkylamino, di(1-6C alkyl)amino and halogen; aryl = naphthyl, phenyl or biphenylyl; heteroaryl = a saturated or unsaturated mono- or bicyclic group containing 5-10 C atoms and 1-3 heteroatoms selected from N, S and O; and Q = OH, COOH, 1-6C alkoxy, 1-6C alkyl, 1-6C polyhaloalkyl, CHO, CN, NO2, NH2, 1-6C alkylamino, di(1-6C alkyl)amino and halogen. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a process for preparing (I); and (2) compounds of formula (II) other than N-(2-(5-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)acetamide. W4 = O, S, NH or NR; and E' = OH or halogen; provided that W4-(CH2)n-W2-(CH2)m is not oxyalkylene when Cy is naphthylene and G1-A is (CH2)2-NR<1>CQR<2> or (CH2)2-NR<1>CQNR<2>R<3>. |
