These processes are described in more detail below.
General Reaction Procedures 1. Aluminium tri-tert-butoxide method for synthesis of indan-l-one Indan-l-one and toluene was placed in a 250 ml round bottomed flask and the solution was dried by azeotropic distillation. To this solution was added Aluminium tri-tert-butoxide and the reaction mixture was allowed to reflux for 1 hour. An additional amount of Aluminium tri-tert-butoxide was added and the reaction was left to reflux for a further 30 mins.
The reaction mixture was cooled before being poured onto water. The product was extracted using ether and dried over sodium sulphate. On evaporation of the solvent the crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (eluent: petroleum ether:ether, 9:1). After evaporation of the eluent the product was obtained as a crystalline solid.
This procedure is particularly applicable for the synthesis of 2-(l'-Indanylidene)-l-indanone using 1-indanone as starting material.
2. Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) Alkylation reaction LDA based alkylations of a-B enone dimer has proven to have been an excellent route to a alkyl-!3, a enone dimers.
Generally, the experimental procedure was as follows. A
three necked 100 ml round bottomed flask was oven dried and fitted with a septum and a nitrogen inlet line. The flask was then evacuated and heated with a heat gun to dry. To this flask which was filled with nitrogen was added the required dimer in dry THF. The solution was SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) cooled to -78 C with a liquid nitrogen/ethyl acetate bath and lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in THF/heptane/
ethylbenzene was added. After stirring for 10 minutes at -78 C, the desired organic halide was added and the solution was allowed to warm to room temperature for 3 =,, hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. To this solution was added ether and aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The organic layer was isolated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ether. The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulphate and on evaporation of the solvent afforded an oil. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography.
3. Formation of dimers in Families 1 to 4 by coupling of a silyl enol ether of an Indonone with a dimethyl acetal or cyclic acetal of the same or different Indanone This coupling procedure was primarily developed to couple two different indanones together. However, this methodology was also successful for the coupling of the same indanone together. Generally, the experimental procedure was as follows.
To a stirred solution of the silyl enol ether of a particular indanone together and the corresponding dimethyl acetal of the same or different indanone in dichloromethane at -78 C, was added a catalytic amount of TMS triflate. The solution was left stirring at -78 C for 3 hours and then allowed to reach -50 C for 1 hour. To this solution was then added a 5% solution of sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was isolated and the aqueous layer extracted with dichloromethane. The combine organic layers were dried with sodium sulphate. After evaporation of the solvent, the crude product was passed through a plug of silica, eluting with petroleum ether SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 100% grading to petroleum ether:ethyl acetate, 100:4.
After evaporation of the eluent the product was obtained.
Same procedure for the coupling of a silyl enol ether of ' an Indonone derivative with a cyclic-ketal of 1-indanone derivative.
4. Elimination of methanol to form a,8-unsaturated ketone This procedure was primarily designed to synthesise a,I3-unsaturated ketones from the resulting methyl ethers dimers generated from the coupling of the silyl enol ethers and dimethyl acetals of different indanones. The reaction procedure was as follows.
The required dimer was dissolved in methanol and DCM, 3:1 and to this stirring solution was added triflic acid. The reaction mixture was allowed to reflux for 1 hour, after which time a precipitate formed. The solution was then cooled in an ice bath, filtered and the solid which was the respective a,f3-unsaturated ketone was dried.
5. Coupling of 3-Bromoindan-l-one to the silyl enol ether of indanones This procedure was particularly designed to couple a multitude of indanones to the 3 position of indane-l-one.
None of the other synthesis that were described above to couple indanones together appeared to allow for this transformation. The success of this coupling was primarily governed by the choice of Lewis acid (TMS
triflate was used) because of the presence of the potentially reactive carbonyl functional group on the 3-~ bromo indanone in the presence of the Lewis acids. The reaction scheme for preparing one compound of the invention is as follows:
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) -''M~/ -, Tnita~e O vQy -780c To a stirred solution of the silyl enol ether of an indanone and a 3-bromo indane-l-one derivative in dichioromethane at -78 C, was added a catalytic amount of TMS triflate. The solution was left stirring at -78 C for 10 nmins and at room temperature for 3 hours. To this solution was then added solid sodium bicarbonate (approx.
2 g) and the solution was stirred rapidly for 10 minutes.
The solution was then filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to leave a mobile oil, which was passed through a plug of silica, eluting with petroleum ether:ethyl acetate 9:2. After evaporation of the eluent, the product was obtained.
6. Reduction of dimers with 10% Palladium on Carbon This procedure is particularly applicable to the reduction of the carbon-carbon double bonds of f3, a enone dimers in families 1,2,3 and 4. In the case of a,13-unsaturated ketone indane dimers, this method of reduction always results in both the reduction of the carbon-carbon double bond and the carbonyl of the a-B-unsaturated system. The reduction procedure was as follows.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The required dimer was dissolved in ethanol and ethyl acetate. To this, 10% palladium over activated charcoal (catalytic quantities) was added and the reaction was stirred under hydrogen for 2 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration. Evaporation of the solvent at reduced pressure afforded the crude product. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography.
7. Reduction of dimers with 10% Palladium on Carbon and concentrated aq HC1 This procedure is particularly applicable to both the reduction of the f3, a carbon-carbon double bond and the ketone functional group. The reduction procedure was as follows.
The required dimer was dissolved in distilled ethanol and ethyl acetate. To this, concentrated aqueous HC1 37%
solution was added together with water and 10% palladium over activated charcoal (catalytic quantities) and the mixture was stirred under hydrogen for 24 hours.
The catalyst was removed by filtration and the product was extracted into ethyl acetate (3 x 20 ml). The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography.
8. Sodium borohydride reduction of dimers This reduction is particularly applicable to the reduction of the ketone functional group of compounds in families 1-4. 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 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) onto water (20 ml) and extracted into diethyl ether (3 x 20 ml). Flash column chromatography over silica gel afforded the product.
9. Reduction of dimers by Huang-Minlon modification reaction Hydrazine hydrate reaction This reduction procedure is particularly applicable to the reduction of the ketone functional group in the case of f3, a enones. The reduction procedure was as follows.
The required dimer was dispersed in ethylene glycol.
Hydrazine hydrate was added along with sodium hydroxide.
The reaction was stirred at reflux for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and water was added and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was isolated and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. Flash column chromatography was used to afford the pure product.
10. Cyanoborohydride reduction of dimers This reduction procedure is particularly applicable to the reduction of the ketone functional group of compounds in families 1-4. The reduction is as follows.
The required dimer was dispersed in 1,2-dichioroethane 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.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 11. Reduction or isomerisation of the a,l3-unsaturated double bond in dimers with 5% palladium on carbon = This procedure is particularly applicable to the reduction of the double bond in the case of a,l3-unsaturated ketones.
The required dimer was dispersed in ethanol and ethyl acetate and to this was added 5% palladium on carbon. The mixture was stirred under hydrogen for 14 hours. The palladium was removed by filtration and the solvent was removed to afford the crude reaction product. Flash column chromatography afforded the required product.
12. Wilkinsons reduction of dimers This method of reduction was particularly effective for the selective reduction of a double bond on R15 without reducing the R8-R9 double bond in families 1 to 4. The reduction procedure was as follows.
The required dimer was dissolved in ethanol and ethyl acetate. To this stirring solution Wilkinsons catalyst was added. The reaction was then stirred under hydrogen for 20 hours. The product was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water and the organic layer was isolated and dried with Na2SO4.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 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. For example, 3C8 above is a mixture of enantiomers. 3C9 is also a mixture of enantiomers. The two enantiomers in 3C8 are diastereomers of the two enantiomers in 3C9. As shown by the data below, the two enantiomers in 3C8 are apparently more pharmacologically active than the two enantiomers in 3C9. Indeed, one of the enantiomers in 3C8 may be more pharmacologically active than the other.
SUBSTiTUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Pl1ARMACOLOGY
Introduction The indane dimers according to the invention have potent mast cell stabilising activity, smooth muscle relaxing activity, and anti-inflammatory activity. The 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 conjunctivitis 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 labour, incontinence, renal colic and disorders associated with the passage of kidney stones. Members of this group SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 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 vitro. Mast cells treated with the compounds and un-treated mast cells were stimulated to release histamine. A reduction in histamine 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 vitro. Smooth muscle was stimulated to contract, using calcium chloride, and subsequently treated with the compounds, and relaxation of the contraction was measured for each compound. The compounds which showed the most activity in these assays were tested for mutagenicity using the Salmonella mutagenicity test (plate incorporation assay). One of these (3C8) was further assessed using an in vivo asthma model. Sensitised rats were treated with the drug by aerosol prior to challenge with allergen and alterations in respiration were recorded. As a result of this study further tests were carried out to determine the anti-inflammatory activity of 3C8. In the rat paw oedema test, the drug was 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 drug was 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. The ability of 3C8 to prevent oedema was determined.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) There follows protocols of each of these assays and a summary of the results.

Histamine Release Assay The buffered salt solution (BSS) was prepared in advance (NaCl 137 mM; KC1 2.7mM; MgC12 1.OmM; CaC1Z 0.5mM; NaH2PO4 0.4mM; Glucose 5.6mM; HEPES 10 mM). This was dispensed into test tubes and heated to 37 C, each test tube contained 4.5m1 BSS. The solvent blank was supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) or 0.5% (v/v) distilled water (dHZO). The two positive controls were supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) dH2O / 2x10-5M disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) and 0.5% (v/v) DMSO / 2x10-SM DSCG.
The test compounds' incubation tubes contained 2x10-5M 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 COZ. Pre-warmed BSS (lOml) 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 supernatent 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, 0.5m1 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/mi, in order to stimulate histamine release. The cell stimulation was stopped after 2 min by the addition of 0.5m1 ice cold BSS, the incubation tubes were transferred to an ice bath. The SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 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 supernatent from each tube was added 0.4 ml of 1M NaOH and 0.lm1 oPT (1% (w/v) in methanol). This was incubated at room temperature for 4 min. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 0.2 ml of 3M HC1. The supernatant from each incubation tube was assayed in duplicate and run simultaneously with a standard curve in the range 0-1000ng/ml. The presence of the fluorescent product of the reaction was measured using a Shimadzu RF-1501 spectrofluorophotometer set at Atx=360nm, ;Lm=450nm.
Each drug was tested on at least five animals (n = 5).
The results were expressed as a percentage of maximum inhibition of 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 presence of 0.5% (v/v) dH2O 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).
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Smooth Muscle Effects Guinea pigs (350g approx.), of either sex, were killed in an atmosphere of saturated COZ. The abdomen was opened by a mid-line incision and the small intestine was removed.
Segments of ileum (1-1.5cm) were suspended in a high potassium, no calcium Krebs buffer (NaCl 160.4mM; KC1 45mM; MgC12 0.54mM; NaHZPO4 0.89mM; NaH2CO3 24.9mM; Glucose 11.1mM). This was maintained at 37 C by a jacketed organ bath and gassed with 95% 02 and 5% COZ. The tissues were anchored by thread to the bottom of the organ bath and suspended from force displacement transducers under a resting tension of ig approx. 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 (NAC1 236.5mM; KC1 4.7mM; CaC12 2.5mM; MgC12 0.54mM; NaH2PO4 0.89mM; NaHCO3 24.9mM; Glucose 11.1mM), for a maximum of 48 hours.
Four segments of tissue were suspended and observed concurrently. Contractions were initiated by the addition of 25pl of 1M CaC12 (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 CaClZ.
Stock solutions of drug were prepared at 10-3M in 50% (v/v) DMSO. These were diluted to give; 10-4M in 5% (v/v) DMSO
and 10-5M in 0.5% (v/v) DMSO. In cases of poor solubility the 10-3M 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). The drug solution was added to the organ bath once a stable contraction of the tissue had been achieved. A cumulative dose-response assay was carried out in the range 5x10-8M to SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 97/20802 PCT/dE96/00080 10-SM. The organ bath was washed out and the tissue allowed to relax. 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 CaCl2induced contraction, for each tissue, at each concentration of drug in DMSO. The effect of DMSO, for each tissue at each concentration, was substracted 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.
Salmonella Mutagenicity Test The compounds were tested for mutagenicity under the protocol designed by Ames et al. (Mutation Res. 31, 347-364, 1975) and modified by Maron and Ames (Mutation Res.
113,, 173-215, 1983). The Salmonella Typhimurium LT2 histidine requiring strains TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535 were used for mutagenicity testing. These strains contain a number of other mutations which greatly increase their ability to detect mutagens. These are (1) a mutation ( rfa+) causing partial loss of the lipo-polysaccharide cell wall, thus increasing the permeability of the cell to larger molecules and (2) a deletion ( uvrB-) causing loss of the DNA excision repair systems. TA102 retains the excision repair system (uvrB}), rendering it capable of detecting mutagens needing this system. In addition, TA102 contains the PAQ1 plasmid, with the his G428 mutation, confering tetracycline resistance to this strain. TA98, TA100 and TA102 also embody an R factor plasmid, PKM101, containing an ampicillin resistance gene.
Mutation of the genome, causing revertion to histidine independence can be detected using selection media.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Solutions of the test compounds were prepared in DMSO in the range 0-50 mg/ml. Top agar (2m1), held at or above 45 C, containing 0.5mM L-histidine HC1 / 0.5mM biotin, was distributed into sterile 5mi sample vials. Fresh overnight culture of the relevant strain (0.1m1) was added along with the test compound (0.1m1). Rat liver microsomal enzymes may also be included (0.5m1s of S9 mix) in order to test for mutagenic metabolites of the test compounds. The contents of the sample vial were transferred onto minimal glucose agar plates and left stand to dry for one hour. The plates were inverted and incubated at 37 C for 48h. Cell growth take place only in the event of a mutation occuring. The number of revertant colonies on each plate were counted. Six negative control plates, including DMSO, and six positive control plates, including a diagnostic mutagen, were tested concurrently with each compound. Three to four test plates were conducted for each compound at each of five different ocncentrations. A significant rise in the number of revertant colonies on a test plate compared to the background revertion rate would indicate that the test compound was mutagenic. Significance testing was carried out using Dunnett's multiple comparison test (Dunnett C.W., Jnl. Am. Statist. Assoc. 50, 1096-1121, 1955).
In Vivo Bronchial Asthma Model Experiments were performed in male Wistar rats aged 10-12 weeks (200-250g). Sensitisation was by the injection (lml s.c.) of ovalbumin (lmg/ml)/aluminium hydroxide (200mg/ml) and Freunds complete adjuvant (lml i.p.).
.
Three weeks following sensitisation, each animal was sedated with sodium phenobarbitone (40mg/kg i.p.), sedation was maintained with supplemental injections SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 97/20802 PCT/dE96/00080 (5mg/kg i.p.) as required. The nose was occluded by surgical tape to prevent deposition of aerosols. The animal was placed in a respiratory chamber, respi,ratory =
parameters were measured by a differential volumetric transducer. Animals were treated by an aerosol of ethanol (50% v/v as a negative control), DSCG (5mg/ml in ethanol 50% v/v as a positive control) or 3C8 (5mg/ml in ethanol 50% v/v). The animals were subsequently challenged by an aerosol of saline (negative control) or ovalbumin (5%
w/w). Changes in respiration were monitored for three hours. Each animal was given three further such treatments to induce bronchial hyper-reactivity, a condition more closely resembling bronchial asthma.
Three to four weeks after the initial treatment, the experiment was repeated. The animals were exposed to an aerosol of acetyl-methyl-choline (metacholine) at a dose (8mg/mi), which stimulates a significant response in hyper-reactive airways only. None of the animals were pre-treated with drug. Changes in airway responses were monitored for one hour.
In vivo Inflammation Models The rat paw oedema model was performed using female Wistar rates (180-200g). The animals were sedated with sodium pentobarbitone, 40-70mg/kg i.p. The animals were treated by the i.p. injection of one of a range of concentrations of test drug (0-100mg/kg in 50% DMSO) or hydrocortisone (100mg/kg in 50% DMSO) or indomethacin (100mg/mk in 50%
DMSO). After 30 min, oedema was induced by the injection of carageenan (100p1 at 2% w/v) below the plantar aponeurosis of the hind paw. The volume of the paw was measured, both before and 60 min after treatment, by displacement of water in a graduated cylinder. Paw oedema was calculated by comparing the paw volume before and SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) after induction of oedema and expressed as percentage normal.
The mouse ear oedema model was performed using Laca mice (25-35g), of either sex. The animals were sedated with fentanyl/fluanizone (Hypnorm, Janssen). One ear was treated by the topical application of one of a range of test compounds, indomethacin or dexamethazone (all at 300pg ear in acetone) drug. After 30 min, oedema was induced by the topical application of arachidonic acid (10}.tl at 0.4g/ml in acetone). The thickness of each ear was measured, both before and 60 min after the induction of oedema, using a micrometer screw guage. Ear oedema was calculated by comparing the ear width before and after induction of oedema and expressed as percentage normal.

Mast Cells Stabalisatin and Smooth Muscle Relaxation =
The findings of the histamine release and the smooth muscle effect assays are summarised in the acompanying 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).

The compound 3C9 did not significantly increase the number of revertant colonies in the Salmonella typhimurium LT2 strain TA98, incubated without the S9 mix, at concentrations up to 5mg/plate. It was concluded that 1C13, 1C14, 1C25/26, 3C8 and 3C9 are not mutagenic, using the above mentioned concentrations and bacterial strains, according to the Ames salmonella mutagenicity test.
Bronchial Asthma Model All animals responded to aerosol treatment with a 30% drop in rate of respiration and a 50% drop in tidal volume, regardless of the content of the aerosolised solution.
This may well have masked the early response of animals exposed to ovalbumin, since none was observed. The animals were divided into four treatment groups:-Group I - Negative Control These animals were exposed to ethanol (50% v/v) by aerosol min prior to exposure to saline (NaCI 0.9% w/v), also 25 by aerosol. There was aÃall in respiration rate of 30%
and in tidal volume of 50%, in response to the aerosol.
Both parameters returned to normal within 10 min and remained normal throughout the monitoring period. (Fig.
1) Following exposure to metacholine the tidal volume 30 fell by 50% but the respiration rate rose by 10%. (Fig.
2) This may indicate a response to the metacholine SUBSTiTUTE SHEET (RULE 26) insufficient to overcome the expected response to the aerosol. A response to metacholine was not anticipated given that the animals were not treated with allergen.
Post-mortem examination revealed that the animals had all developed severe sterile peritonitis. This took the form of extensive, vascularised fibrosis within the abdomen, particularly around the liver and upper intestines. In addition, small, caseous nodules developed, again primarily around the liver, but also scattered throughout the abdomen with an occasional focus at the injection sites. This is thought to have developed as a result of multiple i.p. injections of phenobarbitone, an acidic irritant.
Group II - Positive Control These animals were exposed to ovalbumin (5% w/v) by aerosol. There was a fall in respiration rate of 35% and in tidal volume of 40%, in response to the aerosol. The early phase of the allergic response to the ovalbumin is masked by the aerosol effect. Both parameters returned to normal within 10 min and remained normal for 100 min. Two hours (120 min) following exposure to ovalbumin the rate of respiration rose by 35% and the tidal volume rose by 60%. This represents the late phase of the allergic response. Both parameters returned to normal within 30 min and remained normal for the rest of the monitoring period. (Fig. 1) Following exposure to metacholine the tidal volume fell by 35% but the respiration rate rose by 50%. This indicates a response to the metacholine sufficient to overcome the expected response to the aerosol and implies that multiple exposures to allergen (ovalbumin) have induced hyper-reactivity in the airway.
Both parameters returned to normal in 10 min and remained normal during the monitoring period. (Fig. 2) SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Wo 97/20802 PCT/IE96/00080 Post-mortem examination revealed that the animals had all developed severe sterile peritonitis. The nature and severity of the reaction was similar to that observed in Group I animals.
Group III - Treatment Control These animals were exposed disodium cromoglycate (5mg/ml in ethanol 50% v/v) and, 30 min later, to ovalbumin (5%
w/v) by aerosol. There was a fall in respiration rate of 30% and in tidal volume of 40%, in response to the aerosol. Both parameters returned to normal within 10 min, the tidal volume remained normal throughout the monitoring period. The respiration rate rose by 10% 90 min after ovalbumin exposure, this lasted about 15 min.
The major late phase peak did not occur in either parameter, indicating that the disodium cromoglycate pre-treatment has protected the animals from developing an asthmatic response to the ovalbumin. (Fig. 1) Following exposure to metacholine the tidal volume fell by 25% but the respiration rate rose by 5%. This may indicate a response to the metacholine insufficient to overcome the expected response to the aerosol. (Fig. 2) The reduced response to metacholine, compared to Group II controls, indicates that exposure to disodium cromoglycate has protected the animals from induced hyper-reactivity in the airway.
Post-mortem examination revealed that the animals had all developed severe sterile peritonitis. The nature of the reaction was similar to that observed in Group I and Group II animals. The reaction was less severe, as indicated by the absence of vascularisation of the fibrotic tissue, suggesting that disodium cromoglycate may have acted to protect these animals.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Group IV - Treatment Tests These animals were exposed to 3C8 (5mg/mi in ethanol 50%
v/v) and, 30 min later, to ovalbumin (5% w/v) by aerosol.
There was a fall in respiration rate of 40% and in tidal 5 volume of 60%, in response to the aerosol. Both parameters returned to 90% of normal within 10 min, and fluctuated around 90% of normal for the remainder of the monitoring period. The major late phase peak did not occur in either parameter, indicting that the 3C8 pre-treatment has protected the animals from developing an asthmatic response to the ovalbumin. (Fig. 1) Following exposure to metacholine the tidal volume fell by 40% but the respiration rate rose by 10%. This may indicate a response to the matacholine insufficient to overcome the expected response to the aerosol. (Fig. 2) The reduced response to metacholine, compared to Group II controls, indicates that exposure to 3C8 have protected the animals from induced hyper-reactivity in the airway.
Post mortem examination revealed that none of the animals had developed the sterile peritonitis observed in the other groups. This would indicate that 3C8 has acted to protect these animals from an inflammatory response.
Conclusion The protocol used to induce allergic asthma and bronchial hyper-reactivity in male Wistar rats was successful, except in the monitoring of the early phase of the allergic reaction. The treatment control (disodium cromoglycate) was successful in so far as it blocked the measureable responses to allergen and prevented the developemnt of bronchial hyper-reactivity. The test compound (3C8) was equally successful, if not marginally SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Wo 97/20802 PCT/IE96/00080 better, at blocking the allergic response and preventing development of bronchial hyper-reactivity. In addition, 3C8 may be acting as an anti-inflammatory agent, as indicated by the complete absence of peritonitis in 3C8 treated animals.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 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. For example, 3C8 above is a mixture of enantiomers. 3C9 is also a mixture of enantiomers. The two enantiomers in 3C8 are diastereomers of the two enantiomers in 3C9. As shown by the data below, the two enantiomers in 3C8 are apparently more pharmacologically active than the two enantiomers in 3C9. Indeed, one of the enantiomers in 3C8 may be more pharmacologically active than the other.
SUBSTiTUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Pl1ARMACOLOGY
Introduction The indane dimers according to the invention have potent mast cell stabilising activity, smooth muscle relaxing activity, and anti-inflammatory activity. The 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 conjunctivitis 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 labour, incontinence, renal colic and disorders associated with the passage of kidney stones. Members of this group SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 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 vitro. Mast cells treated with the compounds and un-treated mast cells were stimulated to release histamine. A reduction in histamine 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 vitro. Smooth muscle was stimulated to contract, using calcium chloride, and subsequently treated with the compounds, and relaxation of the contraction was measured for each compound. The compounds which showed the most activity in these assays were tested for mutagenicity using the Salmonella mutagenicity test (plate incorporation assay). One of these (3C8) was further assessed using an in vivo asthma model. Sensitised rats were treated with the drug by aerosol prior to challenge with allergen and alterations in respiration were recorded. As a result of this study further tests were carried out to determine the anti-inflammatory activity of 3C8. In the rat paw oedema test, the drug was 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 drug was 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. The ability of 3C8 to prevent oedema was determined.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) There follows protocols of each of these assays and a summary of the results.

Histamine Release Assay The buffered salt solution (BSS) was prepared in advance (NaCl 137 mM; KC1 2.7mM; MgC12 1.OmM; CaC1Z 0.5mM; NaH2PO4 0.4mM; Glucose 5.6mM; HEPES 10 mM). This was dispensed into test tubes and heated to 37 C, each test tube contained 4.5m1 BSS. The solvent blank was supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) or 0.5% (v/v) distilled water (dHZO). The two positive controls were supplemented with 0.5% (v/v) dH2O / 2x10-5M disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) and 0.5% (v/v) DMSO / 2x10-SM DSCG.
The test compounds' incubation tubes contained 2x10-5M 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 COZ. Pre-warmed BSS (lOml) 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 supernatent 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, 0.5m1 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/mi, in order to stimulate histamine release. The cell stimulation was stopped after 2 min by the addition of 0.5m1 ice cold BSS, the incubation tubes were transferred to an ice bath. The SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 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 supernatent from each tube was added 0.4 ml of 1M NaOH and 0.lm1 oPT (1% (w/v) in methanol). This was incubated at room temperature for 4 min. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 0.2 ml of 3M HC1. The supernatant from each incubation tube was assayed in duplicate and run simultaneously with a standard curve in the range 0-1000ng/ml. The presence of the fluorescent product of the reaction was measured using a Shimadzu RF-1501 spectrofluorophotometer set at Atx=360nm, ;Lm=450nm.
Each drug was tested on at least five animals (n = 5).
The results were expressed as a percentage of maximum inhibition of 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 presence of 0.5% (v/v) dH2O 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).
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Smooth Muscle Effects Guinea pigs (350g approx.), of either sex, were killed in an atmosphere of saturated COZ. The abdomen was opened by a mid-line incision and the small intestine was removed.
Segments of ileum (1-1.5cm) were suspended in a high potassium, no calcium Krebs buffer (NaCl 160.4mM; KC1 45mM; MgC12 0.54mM; NaHZPO4 0.89mM; NaH2CO3 24.9mM; Glucose 11.1mM). This was maintained at 37 C by a jacketed organ bath and gassed with 95% 02 and 5% COZ. The tissues were anchored by thread to the bottom of the organ bath and suspended from force displacement transducers under a resting tension of ig approx. 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 (NAC1 236.5mM; KC1 4.7mM; CaC12 2.5mM; MgC12 0.54mM; NaH2PO4 0.89mM; NaHCO3 24.9mM; Glucose 11.1mM), for a maximum of 48 hours.
Four segments of tissue were suspended and observed concurrently. Contractions were initiated by the addition of 25pl of 1M CaC12 (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 CaClZ.
Stock solutions of drug were prepared at 10-3M in 50% (v/v) DMSO. These were diluted to give; 10-4M in 5% (v/v) DMSO
and 10-5M in 0.5% (v/v) DMSO. In cases of poor solubility the 10-3M 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). The drug solution was added to the organ bath once a stable contraction of the tissue had been achieved. A cumulative dose-response assay was carried out in the range 5x10-8M to SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 97/20802 PCT/dE96/00080 10-SM. The organ bath was washed out and the tissue allowed to relax. 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 CaCl2induced contraction, for each tissue, at each concentration of drug in DMSO. The effect of DMSO, for each tissue at each concentration, was substracted 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.
Salmonella Mutagenicity Test The compounds were tested for mutagenicity under the protocol designed by Ames et al. (Mutation Res. 31, 347-364, 1975) and modified by Maron and Ames (Mutation Res.
113,, 173-215, 1983). The Salmonella Typhimurium LT2 histidine requiring strains TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535 were used for mutagenicity testing. These strains contain a number of other mutations which greatly increase their ability to detect mutagens. These are (1) a mutation ( rfa+) causing partial loss of the lipo-polysaccharide cell wall, thus increasing the permeability of the cell to larger molecules and (2) a deletion ( uvrB-) causing loss of the DNA excision repair systems. TA102 retains the excision repair system (uvrB}), rendering it capable of detecting mutagens needing this system. In addition, TA102 contains the PAQ1 plasmid, with the his G428 mutation, confering tetracycline resistance to this strain. TA98, TA100 and TA102 also embody an R factor plasmid, PKM101, containing an ampicillin resistance gene.
Mutation of the genome, causing revertion to histidine independence can be detected using selection media.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Solutions of the test compounds were prepared in DMSO in the range 0-50 mg/ml. Top agar (2m1), held at or above 45 C, containing 0.5mM L-histidine HC1 / 0.5mM biotin, was distributed into sterile 5mi sample vials. Fresh overnight culture of the relevant strain (0.1m1) was added along with the test compound (0.1m1). Rat liver microsomal enzymes may also be included (0.5m1s of S9 mix) in order to test for mutagenic metabolites of the test compounds. The contents of the sample vial were transferred onto minimal glucose agar plates and left stand to dry for one hour. The plates were inverted and incubated at 37 C for 48h. Cell growth take place only in the event of a mutation occuring. The number of revertant colonies on each plate were counted. Six negative control plates, including DMSO, and six positive control plates, including a diagnostic mutagen, were tested concurrently with each compound. Three to four test plates were conducted for each compound at each of five different ocncentrations. A significant rise in the number of revertant colonies on a test plate compared to the background revertion rate would indicate that the test compound was mutagenic. Significance testing was carried out using Dunnett's multiple comparison test (Dunnett C.W., Jnl. Am. Statist. Assoc. 50, 1096-1121, 1955).
In Vivo Bronchial Asthma Model Experiments were performed in male Wistar rats aged 10-12 weeks (200-250g). Sensitisation was by the injection (lml s.c.) of ovalbumin (lmg/ml)/aluminium hydroxide (200mg/ml) and Freunds complete adjuvant (lml i.p.).
.
Three weeks following sensitisation, each animal was sedated with sodium phenobarbitone (40mg/kg i.p.), sedation was maintained with supplemental injections SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) WO 97/20802 PCT/dE96/00080 (5mg/kg i.p.) as required. The nose was occluded by surgical tape to prevent deposition of aerosols. The animal was placed in a respiratory chamber, respi,ratory =
parameters were measured by a differential volumetric transducer. Animals were treated by an aerosol of ethanol (50% v/v as a negative control), DSCG (5mg/ml in ethanol 50% v/v as a positive control) or 3C8 (5mg/ml in ethanol 50% v/v). The animals were subsequently challenged by an aerosol of saline (negative control) or ovalbumin (5%
w/w). Changes in respiration were monitored for three hours. Each animal was given three further such treatments to induce bronchial hyper-reactivity, a condition more closely resembling bronchial asthma.
Three to four weeks after the initial treatment, the experiment was repeated. The animals were exposed to an aerosol of acetyl-methyl-choline (metacholine) at a dose (8mg/mi), which stimulates a significant response in hyper-reactive airways only. None of the animals were pre-treated with drug. Changes in airway responses were monitored for one hour.
In vivo Inflammation Models The rat paw oedema model was performed using female Wistar rates (180-200g). The animals were sedated with sodium pentobarbitone, 40-70mg/kg i.p. The animals were treated by the i.p. injection of one of a range of concentrations of test drug (0-100mg/kg in 50% DMSO) or hydrocortisone (100mg/kg in 50% DMSO) or indomethacin (100mg/mk in 50%
DMSO). After 30 min, oedema was induced by the injection of carageenan (100p1 at 2% w/v) below the plantar aponeurosis of the hind paw. The volume of the paw was measured, both before and 60 min after treatment, by displacement of water in a graduated cylinder. Paw oedema was calculated by comparing the paw volume before and SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) after induction of oedema and expressed as percentage normal.
The mouse ear oedema model was performed using Laca mice (25-35g), of either sex. The animals were sedated with fentanyl/fluanizone (Hypnorm, Janssen). One ear was treated by the topical application of one of a range of test compounds, indomethacin or dexamethazone (all at 300pg ear in acetone) drug. After 30 min, oedema was induced by the topical application of arachidonic acid (10}.tl at 0.4g/ml in acetone). The thickness of each ear was measured, both before and 60 min after the induction of oedema, using a micrometer screw guage. Ear oedema was calculated by comparing the ear width before and after induction of oedema and expressed as percentage normal.

The findings of the histamine release and the smooth muscle effect assays are summarised in the acompanying 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).

The compound 3C9 did not significantly increase the number of revertant colonies in the Salmonella typhimurium LT2 strain TA98, incubated without the S9 mix, at concentrations up to 5mg/plate. It was concluded that 1C13, 1C14, 1C25/26, 3C8 and 3C9 are not mutagenic, using the above mentioned concentrations and bacterial strains, according to the Ames salmonella mutagenicity test.
Bronchial Asthma Model All animals responded to aerosol treatment with a 30% drop in rate of respiration and a 50% drop in tidal volume, regardless of the content of the aerosolised solution.
This may well have masked the early response of animals exposed to ovalbumin, since none was observed. The animals were divided into four treatment groups:-Group I - Negative Control These animals were exposed to ethanol (50% v/v) by aerosol min prior to exposure to saline (NaCI 0.9% w/v), also 25 by aerosol. There was aÃall in respiration rate of 30%
and in tidal volume of 50%, in response to the aerosol.
Both parameters returned to normal within 10 min and remained normal throughout the monitoring period. (Fig.
1) Following exposure to metacholine the tidal volume 30 fell by 50% but the respiration rate rose by 10%. (Fig.
2) This may indicate a response to the metacholine SUBSTiTUTE SHEET (RULE 26) insufficient to overcome the expected response to the aerosol. A response to metacholine was not anticipated given that the animals were not treated with allergen.
Post-mortem examination revealed that the animals had all developed severe sterile peritonitis. This took the form of extensive, vascularised fibrosis within the abdomen, particularly around the liver and upper intestines. In addition, small, caseous nodules developed, again primarily around the liver, but also scattered throughout the abdomen with an occasional focus at the injection sites. This is thought to have developed as a result of multiple i.p. injections of phenobarbitone, an acidic irritant.
Group II - Positive Control These animals were exposed to ovalbumin (5% w/v) by aerosol. There was a fall in respiration rate of 35% and in tidal volume of 40%, in response to the aerosol. The early phase of the allergic response to the ovalbumin is masked by the aerosol effect. Both parameters returned to normal within 10 min and remained normal for 100 min. Two hours (120 min) following exposure to ovalbumin the rate of respiration rose by 35% and the tidal volume rose by 60%. This represents the late phase of the allergic response. Both parameters returned to normal within 30 min and remained normal for the rest of the monitoring period. (Fig. 1) Following exposure to metacholine the tidal volume fell by 35% but the respiration rate rose by 50%. This indicates a response to the metacholine sufficient to overcome the expected response to the aerosol and implies that multiple exposures to allergen (ovalbumin) have induced hyper-reactivity in the airway.
Both parameters returned to normal in 10 min and remained normal during the monitoring period. (Fig. 2) SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Wo 97/20802 PCT/IE96/00080 Post-mortem examination revealed that the animals had all developed severe sterile peritonitis. The nature and severity of the reaction was similar to that observed in Group I animals.
Group III - Treatment Control These animals were exposed disodium cromoglycate (5mg/ml in ethanol 50% v/v) and, 30 min later, to ovalbumin (5%
w/v) by aerosol. There was a fall in respiration rate of 30% and in tidal volume of 40%, in response to the aerosol. Both parameters returned to normal within 10 min, the tidal volume remained normal throughout the monitoring period. The respiration rate rose by 10% 90 min after ovalbumin exposure, this lasted about 15 min.
The major late phase peak did not occur in either parameter, indicating that the disodium cromoglycate pre-treatment has protected the animals from developing an asthmatic response to the ovalbumin. (Fig. 1) Following exposure to metacholine the tidal volume fell by 25% but the respiration rate rose by 5%. This may indicate a response to the metacholine insufficient to overcome the expected response to the aerosol. (Fig. 2) The reduced response to metacholine, compared to Group II controls, indicates that exposure to disodium cromoglycate has protected the animals from induced hyper-reactivity in the airway.
Post-mortem examination revealed that the animals had all developed severe sterile peritonitis. The nature of the reaction was similar to that observed in Group I and Group II animals. The reaction was less severe, as indicated by the absence of vascularisation of the fibrotic tissue, suggesting that disodium cromoglycate may have acted to protect these animals.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Group IV - Treatment Tests These animals were exposed to 3C8 (5mg/mi in ethanol 50%
v/v) and, 30 min later, to ovalbumin (5% w/v) by aerosol.
There was a fall in respiration rate of 40% and in tidal 5 volume of 60%, in response to the aerosol. Both parameters returned to 90% of normal within 10 min, and fluctuated around 90% of normal for the remainder of the monitoring period. The major late phase peak did not occur in either parameter, indicting that the 3C8 pre-treatment has protected the animals from developing an asthmatic response to the ovalbumin. (Fig. 1) Following exposure to metacholine the tidal volume fell by 40% but the respiration rate rose by 10%. This may indicate a response to the matacholine insufficient to overcome the expected response to the aerosol. (Fig. 2) The reduced response to metacholine, compared to Group II controls, indicates that exposure to 3C8 have protected the animals from induced hyper-reactivity in the airway.
Post mortem examination revealed that none of the animals had developed the sterile peritonitis observed in the other groups. This would indicate that 3C8 has acted to protect these animals from an inflammatory response.
Conclusion The protocol used to induce allergic asthma and bronchial hyper-reactivity in male Wistar rats was successful, except in the monitoring of the early phase of the allergic reaction. The treatment control (disodium cromoglycate) was successful in so far as it blocked the measureable responses to allergen and prevented the developemnt of bronchial hyper-reactivity. The test compound (3C8) was equally successful, if not marginally SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Wo 97/20802 PCT/IE96/00080 better, at blocking the allergic response and preventing development of bronchial hyper-reactivity. In addition, 3C8 may be acting as an anti-inflammatory agent, as indicated by the complete absence of peritonitis in 3C8 treated animals.
