title: [Synthesis and biological activity of 2-[(substituted phenyl)vinyl] indole derivatives].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To synthesize derivatives of 2-[substituted phenyl)vinyl] indole and find compounds with biological activities by screening in vitro.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty-one compounds of 2-[(substituted phenyl) vinyl] indole were synthesized by reduction, oxidation and Witting reaction. MS, 1HNMR and elemental analysis were used to determine the structures of the new compounds.
  
  
  RESULTS
  These compounds are new ones.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Six compounds (3, 9, 11, 13, 18 and 20) showed effects on some different receptors, such as alpha 2, D2 and H1, and is worth further studying.
