title: Synthesis and pharmacological properties of some 2-substituted 1-(3-pyridyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carbolines.
abstract: Six derivatives of 2-aminoacetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline (2a-f) were obtained, which yielded as a result of reduction with LiAlH4 six respective 2-aminoethyl-derivatives (3a-f). Pharmacological studies revealed that compounds 2f, 3e and 3f have sedative properties. None of the compounds possesses neuroleptic, antidepressive, anxiolytic, analgesic or anticonvulsant properties.
