New Potent Tetrahydroquinoline Derivative

Abstract

IN connexion with work on tetrahydroquinoline derivatives of medicinal interest, we have recently synthesized a number of alkoxy- and alkyl-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines1 in which various dialkylaminoalkyl groups (carrying in some cases heterocyclic residues such as morpholino, piperidino, etc.) are linked directly to the nitrogen atom. Among the compounds tested so far, N-[2-(4-morpholino) ethyl]1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (I) has shown interesting biological activity.
