General Reaction Procedures
1. Coupling of 1-amino and 2-amino indan derivatives to 3-bromo-indanone derivatives
The general reaction procedure for this reaction is as follows: Either 1-amino indan or 2-amino indan was dissolved in dry DCM and to this an equivalent of 3-bromo indanone was added. The reaction solution was then cooled to 0°C and triethyl amine was added as the tertiary base. The solution was allowed to stir at 0°C for 3 hours. The product was purified by flash column chromatography.
2. N-Alkylation of the products from reaction procedure no. 1
The 1 or 2-aminoindan dimer was dissolved in DCM and to this was added triethylamine as the tertiary base. The desired alkylation agent was then added and the solution was allowed to stir at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was then passed through a flash silica column and the product was eluted.
3. N-sulfonylation of the products from reaction procedure no. 1
1 or 2-aminoindan dimer was dissolved in DCM and to this was added p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine. The solution was allowed to stir at 0°C for 15 mins and then at room temperature for a further hour. Pyridine was then added to the reaction solution and the reaction was allowed to stir for a further 2 hours. The crude reaction mixture was passed through a flash silica column.
4. N-acylation of the products from reaction procedure no. 1
1 or 2 aminoindan dimer was dissolved in DCM and to this was added triethylamine and acetic anhydride. To this stirring solution DMAP was added. The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 3 hours. To the reaction mixture was added a 2M solution of aqueous HCl and the solvent was removed using toluene. To the crude material an aqueous solution of NaHC0 3 was added and the product was extracted into ether, the organic layers were combined and the solvent removed. The crude material was then passed through a flash silica column.
5. Sodium borohydride reduction of dimers
This reduction is particularly applicable to the reduction of the ketone functional group of the compounds. The reduction procedure was as follows.
The required dimer was dissolved in ethanol and sodium borohydride was added to the reaction in small portions over 10 mins . The reaction was then stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was poured onto water (20 ml) and extracted into diethyl ether (3 x 20 ml). Flash column chromatography over silica gel afforded the product.
6. Cyanoborohydride reduction of dimers
This reduction procedure is particularly applicable to the reduction of the ketone functional group of the compounds. The reduction is as follows.
The required dimer was dispersed in 1, 2-dichloroethane at room temperature. To this solution was added solid zinc
iodide and sodium cyanborohydride. The reaction was stirred at reflux for 20 hours. The product was added to water and extracted into ethyl acetate. Flash column chromatography (eluent: petroleum ether:ethyl acetate, 9:1) was used to isolate the pure product.
7. Hydrolysis of an ester
The required ester was dissolved in a solution of 1.45 M NaOH in THF:MeOH:H 2 0 (6:3:2), which was, then refluxed. After 20 minutes, TLC showed that the hydrolysis of the ester was complete. After cooling the reaction mixture, a saturated solution of aqueous ammonium chloride, aqueous HCl (2M) and ether was added. The organic layer was isolated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ether. The combined organic extracts were dried with Na 3 S0,, and filtered. Evaporation of the solvent, left the acid.
8. Oxime synthesis
This procedure is particularly applicable for the synthesis of oxime derivatives of ketonic indane dimers which have hydrogens to the ketone. Generally the procedure was as follows.
The ketonic indanone dimer was dissolved in a solution of methanoi :pyridine (4:1) and to this solution was then added hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Depending on the specific ketonic indan dimer, the reaction was carried out either at room temperature or at reflux conditions.
9. O-alkylation of the oxime
This procedure is particularly applicable to O-alkylation of the oxime derivatives synthesised. Generally the procedure was as follows.
A solution of the oxime indane dimer was dissolved in ether: tert-butanol 3:1. Benzyl bromide was generally set as the alkylating reagent and it was added to the reaction mixture. Potassium tert-butoxide 1 eq. was added dropwise to this solution at room temperature. After workup using aqueous ammonium chloride and ether the desired oxime ether was isolated after chromatography.
10. Indan ether dimers
This procedure is particularly applicable for the self coupling of two 1-indanol molecules to give indan ether dimeric compounds with the loss of water.
The desired 1-indanol derivative was dissolved in DCM at 0°C and an equivalent of methane sulfonyl chloride or methane sulfonic anhydride was added to the reaction mixture. N,N-diisopropylethyl amine was added dropwise as the tertiary base. The reaction mixture was left stirring for either at 0°C or at room temperature, depending on the particular 1-indanol.
11. Acetylation of the hydroxyl indan-dimers
Generally the procedure was to dissolve the compound for acetylation in DCM and to use acetic anhydride as the acetylating reagent with triethylamine as tertiary base and DMAP as the acylation catalyst.

It will be appreciated that the compounds include pharmacologically acceptable salts, esters, isomers and solvates thereof. One example of a possible ester is a salicylate in at least one and possibly several suitable positions on the compound. This opens up the possibility of a combination therapy using an indane dimer and aspirin in a single molecule. The weight ratio of the base indane dimer to aspirin may be selected by providing a salicylate at a number of selected positions on the dimer.
It will be appreciated most of the compounds have one or more chiral centres and hence exist as a pair of enantiomers or as a mixture of diastereomers. This may have an effect on the pharmacological properties.
It will be appreciated that for pharmaceutical purposes the active compounds may be formulated in any desired form using any suitable excipients and/or carriers. For example, particularly in the case for use to achieve antiinflammatory activity the compound may be formulated in a pharmaceutical composition suitable for topical/transdermal application.

PHARMACOLOGY
Introduction
The indane dimers according to the invention have potent mast cell stabilising activity, smooth muscle relaxing activity, and anti-inflammatory activity. Such compounds are, therefore, potential anti-asthmatic agents with bronchodilator activity. The mast cell stabilising activity of the compounds suggests their potential use in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, allergic con unctivitis and other anaphylactic or allergic conditions. The anti-inflammatory activity may have applications in gout, rheumatic diseases, ankylosing spondylitis, polymyalgia rheumatica, temporal arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, polymyositis and systemic lupus arteriosis and other inflammatory conditions. Topical applications may include: atopic excema, weeping excemas psoriasis, chronic discoid lupus erythematosus, lichen simplex chronicus, hypertrophic lichen planus, palmar plantar pustulosis. They may also have potential in the treatment of some malignant diseases and as immunosuppressants .
The smooth muscle relaxing activity of the compounds may have potential in the treatment of hypertension and peripheral vascular disease, such as intermittent claudication and Reynaud's syndrome, as well as other cardiovascular disorders, such as congestive heart failure, angina pectoris, cerebral vascular disease and pulmonary hypertension. Such compounds are also indicated for potential use in the treatment of certain disorders of the gastro-intestinal tract, such as diverticular disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Similarly, these compounds may have potential as agents for the treatment of disorders of the genito-urinary tract, such as premature
- 46 -
labour, incontinence, renal colic and disorders associated with the passage of kidney stones. Members of this group of compounds may also have potential as diuretics analgesics, antipyretics, local anaesthetics, central nervous system depressants and hypoglycaemic agents.
The compounds were assessed for their ability to stabilize mast cell membranes in vi tro . Mast cells treated with the compounds and un-treated mast cells were stimulated to release histamine. A reduction in hista ine release by the treated cells compared to the un-treated cells indicates stabilisation of the membrane. The compounds were assessed for their ability to relax smooth muscle in vi tro. Intestinal smooth muscle was stimulated to contract, using calcium chloride and subsequently treated with the compounds, relaxation of the contraction was measured for each compound. The effects of the compounds were also studied on relaxation of guinea-pig tracheal muscle. In the rat paw oedema test, the drugs were administered systemically prior to inducing inflammation by the injection of carageenan below the plantar aponeurosis of the hind paw. The volume of the paw was determined both before and after treatment as an index of oedema. In the mouse ear oedema test, the drugs were administered topically prior to inducing inflammation by the topical application of arachidonic acid. The width of the ear was determined both before and after treatment as an index of oedema.
There follows protocols of each of the assays used and a summary of the results.

METHODS
Histamine Release Assay
The buffered salt solution (BSS) was prepared in advance (NaCl 137 mM; KCl 2.7mM; MgCl 2 l.OmM; CaCl 2 0.5mM; NaH 2 P0i 0.4mM; Glucose 5.6mM; HEPES 10 M) . This was dispensed into test tubes and heated to 37°C, each test tube contained 4.5ml BSS. The solvent blank was supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) or 0.5% (v/v) distilled water (dH 2 0) . The two positive controls were
- 48 -
supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) dH 2 0 / 2xlO '5 M disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) and 0.5% (v/v) DMSO / 2xlO "5 M DSCG. The test compounds' incubation tubes contained 2xlO "5 M test compound / 0.5% (v/v) DMSO. The basal release, maximum release and total histamine content incubation tubes contained no additions.
Female Wistar rats (200-300g) were killed in an atmosphere of saturated C0 2 . Pre-warmed BSS (10ml) was injected i.p. and the abdomen was massaged for 3 min. The BSS, with suspended mast cells and other cells, was aspirated following a mid-line incision. The aspirate was centrifuged for 5 min at 400g and the supernatant removed. The cells were re-suspended in BSS, at 4°C, and centrifuged as before. the cells were washed in this manner a total of three times. Following the final wash, the pelleted cells were stored at 4°C, for use as soon as possible.
The cells were re-suspended in 7ml BSS. From this, 0.5ml aliquots were transferred to each of the incubation tubes. After 10 min at 37°C with gentle agitation, Compound 48/80 was added to a final concentration of 2mg/ml , in order to stimulate histamine release. The cell stimulation was stopped after 2 min by the addition of 0.5ml ice cold BSS, the incubation tubes were transferred to an ice bath. The cell suspensions were centrifuged for 5 min at 400 g. The "total histamine content" tube was placed at 100°C for 2 min prior to centrifugation. The supernatants were retained for histamine assay.
To 2 ml of supernatant from each tube was added 0.4 ml of 1M NaOH and 0.1ml oPT (1% (w/v) in methanoi). This was incubated at room temperature for 4 min. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 0.2 ml of 3M HCl. The supernatant from each incubation tube was assayed in duplicate and run simultaneously with a standard curve in
- 49 -
the range O-lOOOng/ml. The presence of the fluorescent product of the reaction was measured using a Shimazu RF-
Each drug was tested on at least five animals (n = 5 ) . The results were expressed as a percentage of maximum, compound 48/80 induced, histamine release in the solvent blank sample. Each drug was compared to DSCG on the same tissues. The basal histamine release in untreated cells was noted, expressed as a percentage of the total histamine content of the cells in suspension. The maximum histamine released by the cells in response to compound 48/80, in the relevant solvent blank sample, was expressed in the same manner. Overall, the mean basal release was 9.60% (S.E.M. = 1.02) of total histamine content of the cells (n = 55) . The maximum stimulated histamine release was 67.38% (S.E.M. = 2.90) in the present of 0.5% (v/v) dH 2 0 and 54.87% (S.E.M. = 2.69) on the presence of 0.5% (v/v) DMSO of total histamine content of the cells (n = 55).
Smooth Muscle Effects
Guinea pigs (350g approx.), of either sex, were killed in an atmosphere of saturated C0 2 . The abdomen was opened by a mid-line incision and the small intestine was removed. The trachea was removed and sectioned between the cartilage rings, which were then split through.
Segments of ileu (1-1.5cm) were suspended in a high potassium, no calcium Krebs buffer (NaCl 160.4mM); KCl 45mM; MgCl 2 0.54mM; NaH 2 PO, 0.89mM; NaH 2 C0 3 24.9mM; Glucose ll.lmM). Tracheal sections were suspended in normal Krebs buffer (NaCl 236.5mM; KCl 4.7mM; CaCl 2 2.5mM; MgCl 2 0.54mM; NaH 2 P0,, 0.89mM; NaHC0 3 24.9mM; Glucose ll.lmM). The solutions were maintained at 37 C C by a jacketed organ bath
- 50 -
and gassed with 95% 0 2 and 5% C0 2 . The tissues were anchored by thread to the bottom of the organ bath and suspended from force displacement transducers under a resting tension of lg approx. in the case of ileu and 4g approx. in the case of trachea. Isotonic contractions were recorded using a MacLab/4e system in conjunction with the Chart 3.3.1 software package. Surplus tissue was stored at 4°C in Krebs buffer, for a maximum of 48 hours.
Four segments of tissue were suspended and observed concurrently. Contractions were initiated by the addition of 25μl of 1M CaCl 2 (a final concentration of 2.5mM). The contractions stabilized with time, 10-15 min, and could be maintained for up to 45 min. from the addition of the CaCl 2 . The tracheal sections were allowed to develop spontaneous resting tension over a period of 30 ins .
Stock solutions of drug were prepared at 10 "3 M in 50% (v/v) DMSO. These were diluted to give; lO^M in 5% (v/v) DMSO and 10 "5 M in 0.5% (v/v) DMSO. In cases of poor solubility the 10 "3 M stock was made up in higher concentrations of DMSO. Solvent 'blank' solutions were prepared containing 50%, 5% and 0.5% (v/v) DMSO (or as appropriate). A cumulative dose-response assay was carried out in the range 5xlO "8 M to 10 "5 M. A second cumulative dose-response assay was carried out using DMSO 'blank' solutions only.
Each drug was tested, in duplicate, on at least three different animals (n=3). The results were expressed as percentage inhibition of the CaCl 2 induced contraction in the case of ileal tissue and percentage relaxation in the case of tracheal tissue, for each tissue, at each concentration of drug in DMSO. The effect of DMSO, for each tissue at each concentration, was subtracted from the effect of the drug in DMSO, to give the effect of the drug alone. A log dose vs. response curve was plotted for each

drug using the mean and the standard error of the mean for the cumulated results.
In vivo Inflammation Models
The mouse ear oedema model was performed using Laca mice (25-35g), of either sex. The animals were sedated with fentanyl/fluanisone (Hypnorm, Janssen) . One ear was treated by the topical application of one of a range of test compounds, indomethacin or dexamefhasone (all at 300 μq ear in acetone) drug. After 30min, oedema was induced by the topical application of arachidonic acid (10 μl at 0.4g/ml in acetone). The thickness of each ear was measured, both before and 60min after the induction of oedema, using a micrometer screw gauge. Ear oedema was calculated by comparing the ear width before and after induction of oedema and expressed as percentage normal.
RESULTS
Mast Cell Stabilisation and Smooth Muscle Relaxation
The findings of the histamine release and the smooth muscle effect assays are summarised in the accompanying tables of results. The results from some of the compounds are illustrated in the accompanying graphs. The results indicate that these compounds show a wide variety of smooth muscle relaxing and mast cell stabilising activity, and that these two effects are not related (i.e. a good mast cell stabiliser is not necessarily a good smooth muscle relaxant and vice versa).

Inflammation Model
Mouse Ear Oedema
Responses of the mouse ear to single doses of a range of compounds compared to the response to indomethacin and dexamethasone, each at a dose of 300μg per ear administered topically 30 min prior to administration of 400 μg of arachidonic acid. Values are expressed as the percentage increase in ear thickness 1 hour after administration of arachidonic acid (all n=4 , solvent controls (n=8)). The results suggest that anti- inflammatory activity is not linked to mast cell stabilising activity.
It will be appreciated that the compounds may have useful pharmacological properties other than those described above.
