A variety of pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles (PBIs) modified on the A-ring were prepared and evaluated for affinity to the benzodiazepinebindingsite on the GABA-Areceptor and in animal models predictive of anxiolytic activity in humans. A-ring benzo-fused derivative 7 exhibited potent activity, as did the 6- and 7-pyrido compounds 3 and 4.
