摘要

A novel use for the class of biologically active bis-heterocyclic, e.g., bis - indole alkaloid compounds, which have been named topsentins, bromotopsentins, homocarbonyltopsentins, nortopsentins, hamacanthins, bis-indole ethylamines, or dragmacidins, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, methods of producing the compounds, a nd methods of using the compounds are disclosed. Specifically, the novel utility pertains to the anti-neurogenic inflammatory properties exhibited by the bis-indole compounds and their analogs.
