Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jm00351a015

The authors have prepared a series of tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THβC), β-carbolines (β-C), and other nitrogen heterocycles and evaluated them in vitro with respect to their ability to bind to benzodiazepine receptors. The fully aromatic β-C's were more pot
