A series of 1-(aminoalkyl)-6-aryl-4H-s-triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]benzodiazepines has been prepared and evaluated for centralnervoussystemactivity. We have found that members of this series haveactivity in pharmacological test systems designed to detect both anxiolytic and antidepressant activity. Each type of activity could be varied independently by appropriate substituent selections.
Compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, methyl, or ethyl; wherein R' and R" are hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, inclusive, wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or methyl defined as above; wherein R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, and R.sub.5 are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl defined as above, halogen, nitro, trifluoromethyl, and alkoxy and alkylthio, in which the carbon chain moieties are of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, inclusive; and wherein the 5 to 6 nitrogen-carbon linkage is selected from the group consisting of double bonds and single bonds, are produced by a variety of multistep processes. The new compounds of formula X above and the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof have oral and parenteral sedative and tranquilizing activity, and anti-depressant activity and can be employed for tranquilizing mammals as well as combating anxiety and depressions.
