Isoquinolines And Beta-Carbolines As Neurotoxins And Neuroprotectants New Vistas In Parkinson's Disease Therapy /

This book summarizes, for the first time, the results from behavioral, neurochemical and molecular experiments, which demonstrate a wide spectrum of tetrahydroisoquinolines (TIQs) and beta-carbolines (BCs) effects - from their rather mild neurotoxic actions to the important neuroprotective and antia...
