    Abstract

    A series of oxazolidinone and indole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as IL-6 signaling blockers by measuring the effects of these compounds on IL-6-induced luciferase expression in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells transfected with p-STAT3-Luc. Among different compounds screened, compound 4d was emerged as the most potent IL-6 signaling blockers with IC50 value of 5.9 μM which was much better than (+)-Madindoline A (IC50 = 21 μM), a known inhibitor of IL-6.
