Esters of methyl 3-hydroxy-5-piperidinomethylbenzoate and of methyl 3-hydroxy-5-diethylaniinomethylbenzoate were prepared and subjected to pharmacological testing. These compounds, resembling in structure a portion of the reserpine molecule, failed to show appreciable pharmacological activity. Esters of 3-piperidinomethylphenol, 3-diethylaminomethplphenol, 3-piperidinomethylbenzoic acid, and 3-diethylaminobenzoic acid were also prepared and were without pharmacological activity. All compounds were obtained as their hydrochlorides.
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.
