Abstract
Pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazole derivatives were prepared as potential neurotr ophic agents. The compounds were assayed for their ability to stimulat e choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity in embryonic rat spinal co rd cultures. These simplified K252a derivatives, although less potent and efficacious, have led to the identification of minimal structural requirements for K252a neurotrophic activity.
