Several novel tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives with amino acid residues at the 2-position and a glucosamine group at the 3-position of the tetrahydro-β-carboline nucleus were synthesized from a readily available starting material, tryptophane, and were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity in the present study. Our results showed that all of the derivatives tested exhibited a significant inhibition of xylene-induced inflammation in mice.

Based on the fact that the cyclization of N-[(3S)]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxyl]-l-lysine in both of acetic acid aqueous (5%) and rat plasma gave the same product and the hypothesis that the cyclization product is antithrombotic active, we report the synthesis, in vitro anti-aggregation, and in vivo anti-thrombosis activity of 20 hexahydropyrazino[1′,2′:1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1,4-dions (5a-t) as potential anti-thrombosis agents in this study. Two intermediates (tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxy-l-amino acid benzylesters, 2-aminoacyltetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid benzylesters) were prepared and used for the cyclization to form 5a-t. Coupling hydrochloric acid salt of tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid esters and Boc-amino acids in the reported literature usually generates very low yield products accompanied by racemization. However, in our case, the free base of tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid benzylester produced the desired products in high yields and without racemization. The anti-thrombosis results from both in vitro and in vivo studies revealed that 5a-t may be a new class of anti-thrombosis agents with potent effective concentration at 0.5 μmol/kg with oral administration. Moreover, a QSAR analysis was performed on these 20 compounds by using molecular descriptors generated by e-dragon server. Although the activities of these compounds are weakly correlated with the log P values, the current QSAR analysis revealed that the anti-thrombotic activity of these compounds can be explained by their steric and electrostatic effects.
