title: 3-Aminotetrahydrocarbazoles as a new series of central nervous system agents.
abstract: 3-Dimethylamino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole, a structurally modified tryptamine, prevented amphetamine-induced stereotyped behavior in rats and prevented reserpine-induced ptosis in mice. Further study of this compound and a number of substituted derivatives indicated that either imipramine-like or chlorpromazine-like profiles were obtainable by changing substituents and their positions.
