Abstract

The synthesis of 7-(aminoacyl) and 7-(aminoalkyl) derivatives of 1,2,6,7-tetrahydroindolo[1,7-ab][1,5]benzodiazepines is described. These compounds were evaluated for antidepressant activity by their ability to inhibit tetrabenazine-induced ptosis in mice. Many compounds were found to be active in this animal model, and structure-activity relationships are discussed. Two analogues in particular, one from the 7-(aminoacyl) series (13) and one from the 7-(aminoalkyl) series (26), were of comparable potency to the antidepressant drugs desipramine and amitriptyline.
