Pol J Pharmacol Pharm. 1988 Jul-Aug;40(4):413-21.

Abstract

Five derivatives of 2-(3-aminopropionyl)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline (2a-e) were obtained, which yielded, as a result of reduction with LiAlH4, five respective 2-aminopropyl-derivatives (3a-e). Pharmacological studies revealed that phenylpiperazine-derivatives 2d, 2e, 3d and 3e have sedative and analgesic properties. All compounds are devoided of neuroleptic, antidepressant, anxiolytic and antiparkinsonic activity.
