title: (+/-)-2-(3-Piperidyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines as a new class of specific bradycardic agents.
abstract: A series of (+/-)-2-(3-piperidyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines were prepared and their bradycardic activities were examined in isolated guinea-pigs' right atria and in anesthetized rats. Modifications on the benzyl moiety of the parent compound, 1, led to the identification of compound 11e as a potent and specific bradycardic agent.
