Acids IIa-c were prepared by reactions of (4-fluoro-2-iodophenyl)acetic acid with 4-methoxythiophenol, 4-ethoxythiophenol and 4-(ethylthio)thiophenol and cyclized with polyphosphoric acid in boiling toluene to dibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10(11H)-ones IIIa-c. Reduction with sodium borohydride afforded the alcohols IVa-c which were treated with hydrogen chloride and gave the chloro derivatives Va-c. Substitution reactions with 1-methylpiperazine resulted in the title compounds Ia-c out of which the methoxy derivative Ia was transformed by demethylation with boron tribromide to the phenol Id. Compounds Ia-d are very potent neuroleptics exhibiting a clear prolongation of the central depressant and some prolongation of the cataleptic activity.

Elenine is the aglycone of elenoside, a cytotoxic arylnaphthalene lignan (NSC 644013-W/1) derived fromJusticia hyssopifolia. (Family: Acanthaceae). Elenoside is a β-D-glucoside, with a similar chemical structure to etoposide, exhibiting central depressant activity. In the present study, elenine was given to mice and rats at doses of 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg. Acute toxicity (24 h) and general behaviour in mice was studied as well as its effects on muscular relaxant activity, locomotor activity (Varimex test), and the open-field test and were compared with 10 mg/kg of chlorpromazine. Elenine produced a reduction in the permanence time in muscular relaxant activity (traction test). Spontaneous activity was lower in the Varimex test. The ambulation and rearing were lower compared with the control group, and an increase in boluses was observed in the open-field test. Thus, it can be concluded that elenine has central sedative effects at lower doses than those used with elenoside and has a possible application in conditions of anxiety.

2-(2-Fluorophenylthio)benzaldehydes IXa-c and 5-chloro-2-(2-fluorophenylthio)acetophenone were treated with 1-methyl-4-piperidylmagnesium chloride and 3-dimethylaminopropylmagnesium chloride, respectively, and the resulting amino alcohols VIa-c, XVII and XVIII were cyclized with sodium hydride in dimethylformamide. In addition to the title compounds Ia-c, XIX and XX, several types of by-products were obtained. Demethylation of compound Ib by the chloroformate method afforded the secondary amine IIb which was transformed to the amino alcohols IIIb and Vb. Compounds Ia-c are very potent neuroleptics with a high degree of central depressant and cataleptic activity. The amino alcohol Vb exhibits a very strong antiapomorphine effect in rats.

Pharmacology - Oxypertine (Integrin-Bayer) has structural affinities with some major phenothiazines, such as trifluoperazine, and also with tryptophan, which has been claimed to elevate mood and increase social contacts in chronic schizophrenics.1 In animals oxypertine is a potent central depressant;2 3 it lowers body temperature, and protects mice grouped together against amphetamine toxicity, about as much as does chlorpromazine.3
