Various unsymmetrical triindolylmethanes were synthesized by multistep approach. In final step the targeted synthesis was carried out by the condensation of twomoles of simple indolewith previously prepared ethyl 3-formylindole- 2-caboxylates in presence of antimony trichloride as catalyst. The pharmacological screening of the obtained compounds was proved for their potent analgesic activity.
