The tetrahydronaphthalene analogs 4 and 5 of DCI (3b) and of its N-uns
ubstituted derivative (3a) were synthesized and tested for their beta-
adrenergic properties by means of both binding tests and functional te
sts. Compounds 4 and 5 proved to possess a good affinity for beta-adre
nergic receptors accompanied by an appreciable beta-blocking activity,
thus indicating that the formal insertion of a beta-blocking drug suc
h as DCI into a tetrahydronaphthalene structure is able to provide com
pounds which still possess a beta-blocking activity.
