The synthesis of β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid and its esters (4) by oxidation of the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro derivatives (2) or of the 3,4-dihydro derivatives (3) has been studied. A novel synthesis of the esters (3) [and hence of (4)] has been achieved in high yield by cyclization and elimination from the enamine (5). The relative inhibition of binding of a benzodiazepine to rat brain membranes by the esters (2)-(4) has been determined.

5-(Aminomethyl)-3-hydroxyfuran-2(5H)-one (4) has been synthesized as a GABA analogue in five steps from hex-3-enedioic acid, the enolic α-keto group being introduced under mild conditions by means of a singlet oxygen cleavage of an enamino lactone. The compound showed negligible activity as a GABA agonist with respect to inhibition of [3H]GABA binding, uptake and trans amination in rat brain membranes

The synthesis is described of octahydro-1H-2-pyrindine-5,7-dione (4) and its 6-diazo and 6-bromo derivatives. These are analogues of GABA in which the carboxyl group is replaced by an enolic β-diketone. The compounds showed negligible or very weak activity as GABA agonists with respect to inhibition of [3H] GABA binding, uptake and transamination in rat brain membranes.
