Abstract: The synthesis and antiallergic potential of a series of novel indolecarboxamidotetrazoles are described. A number of compounds inhibit the release of histamine from anti-IgE-stimulated basophilic leukocytes obtained from allergic donors. Optimal inhibition is exhibited by compounds with 3-alkoxy, 5-methoxy, and 1-phenyl substituents on the indole core structure. Compound 8d (5-methoxy-3-(1-methylethoxy)-1-phenyl-N-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-1H -indole-2-carboxamide; designated CI-949) is a potent inhibitor of histamine release from human basophils and from guinea pig and human chopped lung.
