Inhibition of Cytosolic Phospholipase A2α: Hit to Lead Optimization

TL;DR: In this article, an electrophilic ketone was inserted between the indole and benzoic acid moieties, and the distance between the two moieties gave a compound with activity in the GLU (7-hydroxycoumarinyl-γ-linolenate) micelle assay, which contains lipid and detergent.
