A series of novel benzoxepin-derived compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their sedative-hypnotic effect using Phenobarbital-induced sleep test in mice. Compound 6 in which the Phenobarbital moiety was incorporated into the benzoxepin nucleus was the most active one. Molecular modeling, including fitting to a 3D-pharmacophore model using Discovery Studio 2.1 programs into optimized benzodiazepine receptor (hypothesis) showed high fit values. The experimental studies for the in vivo sedative-hypnotic effect of compounds 2-6 and 11a-c were consistent with the molecular modeling.A series of novel benzoxepin-derived compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their sedative-hypnotic effect using Phenobarbital-induced sleep test in mice.
