A row of 1-alkyne (C6-C17) derivatives against tetrahydroisoquinoline have been synthesized. 1-alkyne (C6-C17) derivatives cytotoxicity against three lines of cancer cells and two lines of normal cells was studied. It was found that 1-tridecyl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline exhibits a high cytotoxic effect with low toxicity to healthy cells. Antimicrobial activity of 1-alkyne (C6-C17) derivatives against 5 strains of bacteria and fungus was studied. It has been found that 1-nonyl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline exhibits strong antibacterial and antifungal effects.
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.
