SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF 2-(SUBSTITUTED PHENYL)VINYL INDOLE DERIVATIVES

AIM　To synthesize derivatives of 2-substituted phenyl)vinyl indole and find compounds with biological activities by screening in vitro. METHODS　Twenty-one compounds of 2-(substituted phenyl)vinyl indole were synthesized by reduction, oxidation and Witting reaction. MS, ¹HNMR and elemental analysis were used to determine the structures of the new compounds. RESULTS　These compounds are new ones. CONCLUSION　Six compounds (3,9,11,13,18 and 20) showed effects on some different receptors, such as alpha2, D2 and H1, and is worth further studying.
