摘要:
A series of novel tetrahydronaphthyridine-based histamine H-3 ligands that have serotonin reuptake transporter inhibitor activity is described. The 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,6-naphthyridine scaffold is assembled via the addition of a nitrostyrene to a metalated pyridine followed by reduction and cyclization to form the naphthyridine. In vitro biological data for these novel compounds are discussed. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
