The present study describes the chemical synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a new series of eleven compounds stereoisomers of imidobenzenesulfonylaziridines in the forced-swimming test (FST) in mice. The pharmacological results of these compounds show that six of them, given intraperitoneally, reduced the immobility time of mice evaluated in the FST, an-antidepressant-like profile of action similar to imipramine, a well-known standard antidepressant drug used for comparison, without compromising the animals' motor performance. The putative antidepressant-like action demonstrated here indicates their viability for the development of new therapeutic options for the treatment of depression. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
