T. Nagy et al., SYNTHESIS AND ANALGESIC EVALUATION OF SOME 1,1-DISUBSTITUTED CARBOXY-4-PHENYL-L,2,3,4-TETRAHYDRO-BETA-CARBOLINE DERIVATIVES, European journal of medicinal chemistry, 30(7-8), 1995, pp. 575-586
New 4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carbolines were synthesized from
beta-phenyltryptophan ester. They were evaluated in induced pain on ro
dents. Amide 17b proved to be the most powerful in the series. Several
compounds display significative antiinflammatory properties.
