Tetrahydrocarbazolamine

Tetrahydrocarbazolamines, or tetrahydrocarbazolylamines, also known as aminotetrahydrocarbazoles, are a group of cyclized tryptamines in which the indole ring has been cyclized into a tricyclic tetrahydrocarbazole ring system. They include the antipsychotics ciclindole and flucindole, the triptans frovatriptan and LY-344864, and the antiplatelet drug ramatroban. Tetrahydrocarbazolamines are known to act as serotonin receptor modulators, as well as modulators of other receptors such as dopamine and adrenergic receptors.[1][2]
