Abstract

I I1 to investigate the possibility of developing potential antidepressant agents from this indolobenzodiazepine tetracycle. Construction of amine-bearing side chains at the central ring nitrogen atom afforded two series of compounds, of formula I1 and 111, which were evaluated for antidepressant activity. These compounds represent an interesting structural departure from the classical imipramine and amitriptyline type of tricyclic antidepressants. ...
