Some 3-carboxamides of β-carboline and tetrahydro-β-carboline

A series of tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxamides (L- and D-series) was made by the interaction of the respective amine with the appriopriate methyl tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylate.The β-carboline-3-carboxamides were prepared by a similar route from methyl β-carboline-3-carboxylate or by aromatization of the respective tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxamide.The diastereomers of N-sec-butyl tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxamide (L- and D-series) were separated by chromatography.

β-Carbolin-3-carboxylic acid derivatives

A β-carbolin-3-carboxylic acid derivative of the formula STR1 has valuable pharmacological properties when administered to patients, e.g. humans as a drug, have been shown to possess interesting tranquilizing activity.
