Modification of biologically active amides and amines by fluoro-containing heterocycles 10. γ-Carbolines modified by 2-trifluoromethylimidazo-[1,2-a]pyridin-3-ylpropionamide fragments
An approach to the modification of biologically active gamma-carbolines by the 2-trifluoromethyl-imidazo[1,2-a] pyridin-3-ylpropionamide fragments was suggested, which consisted of the reaction of N-methyl-N-(2-trifluoromethylimidazo[1,2-a] pyridin-3-yl) prop-2-enamides with gamma-carbolines in the presence of catalytic amounts of cesium fluoride. Method of radioligand binding was used to study effects of the synthesized 3-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]-indol-5-yl)-N-methyl-N-[2-(trifluoromethyl) imidazo-[1,2-a] pyridin-3-yl] propanamides on the neuronal NMDA-receptors.
