title: Synthesis and pharmacological properties of N-arylpiperazine-N'-alkylindanes.
abstract: Ten new compounds, N-aryl substituted piperazinealkylindanes, have been synthesized. The most active one 1-(2-[4-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-ethyl)-indane (compound 9), displayed evident central serotoninolytic properties in the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HTP) head twitch test in mice, as well as in the tryptamine convulsions test and the quipazine-stimulated hind paw flexor reflex test in rats.
