title: Synthesis and action on the central nervous system of some N2-substituted cinnoline derivatives.
abstract: Alkylation of 4-hydroxycinnolines using ethyl bromoacetate resulted in N2-substituted acetic acids. These acids were converted to esters and amides. Some of the obtained acids were reduced with zinc dust to give 4-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-cinnolineacetic acids. Several of the compounds were tested for their effect on central nervous system.
