Molecular construction of multitarget neuroprotectors 4.* Synthesis and biological activity of conjugates of carbazoles and tetrahydrocarbazoles

Unknown conjugates of carbazoles and tetrahydrocarbazoles were obtained by the alkylation of carbazoles and tetrahydrocarbazoles with 3,6-substituted 9-oxiranylmethylcarbazoles. The influence of synthesized 1-(9Н-carbazol-9-yl)-3-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5Н-pyrido[4,3-b]-indol-5-yl)propan-2-ones on functional characteristics of brain mitochondria has been studied. The potential neuroprotective activity of a several representatives of conjugates has been demonstrated using glutamate toxicity model.
