4-Aryl-1-piperazinylalkyl derivatives of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline ring system. Synthesis and preliminary in vivo studies

Pharmazie. 1996 Dec;51(12):932-6.

Abstract

Three series of compounds containing a 4-aryl-1-piperazinylalkyl fragment attached to a different position of the indole (A) or 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline (B, C) have been prepared. The quantitative relationship between the structure of some derivatives and their sedative effect was found using the Free-Wilson approach.
