Abstract

Several novel tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives with amino acid residues at the 2-position and a glucosamine group at the 3-position of the tetrahydro-β-carboline nucleus were synthesized from a readily available starting material, tryptophane, and were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity in the present study. Our results showed that all of the derivatives tested exhibited a significant inhibition of xylene-induced inflammation in mice.
