The indane scaffold, prevalent in bioactive natural products, underpins numerous therapeutics. Our group developed a series of 1,2-indane dimers, including PH46A (9), for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This study details the design, synthesis characterisation 21 compounds, 2,2-disubstituted indanones (16a-16h), indanols (17a-17h), indanes (18a-18h). These compounds were tested vitro vivo using murine dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) model bowel disease (IBD). Cytotoxicity screening THP-1 macrophages SW480 cells revealed increased cytotoxicity with indene ring substitution at C2, 18d emerging as potent. In lipoxygenase (LOX) assays, 18a, 18d, 18c exhibited significant 5-LOX inhibition, comparable to zileuton. Selective inhibition over 15-LOX indicated distinct ligand-isozyme interactions, potentially informing novel inhibitor development. Cytokine profiling identified optimal C1 C2 substituents, particularly which inhibited IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, IFN-γ IL-8 cells. DSS colitis testing showed activity index reduction (p < 0.01) 18d. Subsequent molecular docking, docking simulations predicted stable binding under mimicked physiological conditions. findings offer insights into indane-based therapeutic drug development IBD, highlighting cost reductions by minimising stereochemistry complexity.
