Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Jun 15;19(12):3183-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.04.128. Epub 2009 May 3.

Abstract

Synthesis, biological evaluation and structure-activity relationships for a series of novel gamma-carboline analogues of Dimebon are described. Among the studied compounds, gamma-carbolines 3{8} and 3{14} have been identified as potent small molecule antagonists of histamine H(1) (IC(50)=0.1 microM) and serotonin 5-HT(6) (IC(50)=0.37 microM) receptors, respectively.
