摘要
A series of 3-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines was synthesized and evaluated for their phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) inhibitory potency and affinity for the alpha(2)-adrenoceptor. Although their PNMT inhibitory potency decreased compared with corresponding 3-methyl-, 3-hydroxymethyl- or 3-unsubstituted-THIQs, some of them showed good selectivity due to their extremely low a2-adrenoceptor affinity.
