title: Synthesis and pharmacological properties of some N-aroylhomotryptamines.
abstract: Eight amide compounds were obtained by condensation of appriopriate acid chlorides with homotryptamine and its 5-methoxyderivative. The effects of these compounds on the central nervous system were tested. m-Nitrobenzoylhomotryptamine showed the strongest sedative, anticonvulsive and analgesic properties.
