Analogs of Methyldopa 101 acetic acid with the diethylaminoethyl ester of this acid showed that the aralkylamino compound had a considerably reduced neurotropic activity. Other deviations are the length of the alkylene chain (here preferably more than three carbon atoms; in the substituted phenylacetic acid series preferably two or three carbon atoms) and the other acids which give high activity.The 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate of /3-diethylaminoeth-anol is, for instance, much less active than the corresponding diphenylacetate ester.The phenethylamine derivatives with a small substituent, e.g., a hydrogen atom or a methyl group at the nitrogen atom (53, 54) possess considerable adrenolytic activity. Especially piperidine (10-12) and p-hydroxyphenylisopropylamine derivatives (18, 19, and 25) are fairly active.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
