Abstract

4, X= H; R= H 5, X= H; R= CH, 9, X= OH; R= CH, proposed~-carboline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0-CCE) as the endogenous factor, subsequent studies5s6 have shown that this compound is probably formed during the isolation and extraction procedure. Nonetheless, the demonstration that certain P-carbolines potently inhibit [3H] diazepam binding with a high affinity suggests this group of compounds may be useful both as tools for studying ...
