Novel cerebroprotective agents with central nervous system stimulating activity. 1. Synthesis and pharmacology of the 1-amino-7-hydroxyindan derivatives
To develop a novel cerebroprotective agent with centralnervoussystem (CNS) stimulating activity, a series of 1-amino-7-hydroxyindan derivatives was synthesized, and their effects on the survival time of mice under hypoxic conditions were tested. CNS-stimulating activity was also evaluated by examining the promotional effect on the recovery from cerebral concussion induced coma in mice. Several compounds
