Rl ~ + H2N-R ~ ~ 2 XII

Compounds of formula I where A is -CH2- are pre-pared by reacting the substituted naphthalimide of formula VIII suspended in a polar organic solvent such as dimethyl-formamide (DMF) with compounds of the formula VI and a source of formaldehyde such as aqueous formaldehyde or paraformaldehyde.
The various starting materials such as the substituted anhydrides of formula II, the alcohols of formula IV, the substituted naphthalimides of formula VIII, and the 4-substituted piperazines of formula VI, VII and X are known in the art re~dily obtainable by known procedures. Further process details are also provided in the illustrative examples.
The compounds of formula I wherein either or both Rl and R~ are amine or R is an amino subætituted phenyl or phenyl-lower alkyl group are prepared by reducing the corresponding nitro substituted compound with a reducing agent such as hydrogen over a palladium catalyst or a suitable chemical reducing agent. This is preferably done as the last stage in the reaction procedures described above.
Depending on the reaction conditions and the starting materials used, the new compounds are obtained _9_ in the free form or in the form of their acid addition salts. The salts thereof can be converted into the free compounds in a known manner such as by reaction with a basic agent. Free bases which may be obtained can be converted into pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts by reaction with a variety of acids. Acids useful for preparing these acid-addition salts include, inter alia, inorganic acids, such as the hydrohalic acids (e.g. hydrochloric and hydrobromic acid), sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid, and organic acids such as maleic, fumaric, tartaric, citric, acetic, benzoic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, salicyclic, succinic, nicotinic, methanesulfonic or cyclohexanesulfamic.
The new compounds of the present invention including the acid addition salts are capable of modifying the central nervous system. When administered to mice, cats, rats, dogs, and other mammalian species in amounts ranging from about 0.5 mg. to about 100 mg. per kg. of body weight per day, these compounds in particular exhibit antidepressant activity. A
preferred dosage regimen for optimum results would be from about 1 mg~ to about50 mg. per kg. of body weight per day, and such dosage units are employed so that a total of from about 35 mg. to about 3 g. of active ingredient in single or divided doses are administered in a 24 hour period.
The-antidepressant activity of the compounds of formula I is demonstrated by their ability to antagonize tetrabenzaine-i~duced ptosis according to the procedure of Vernier et al. ("The Pharmacodynamics of Amitriptyline", Psychosomatic Medicine, (1962), pages 683-690) and also by their ability to block the reuptake of monoamines in vitro lOS81713 MT 9 6/8 5 according to the procedure of Horn et al. (Molecular Pharma-colo~, 7th Ed., (1971), page 66).
The compounds of formula I are also useful as anti-inflammatory agents and may be used, for example, in a manner similar to phenylbutazone or indomethacin. They may be used to decrease joint swelling, tenderness, pain and stiffness in mammalian species, e.g., in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. The quantity administered ranges from about 1 mg.
to about 30 mg. per kg. of body weight per day.
For any of these pharmaceutical purposes a compound or mixture of compounds of ormula I or their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts may be administered orally or parenterally in a conventional dosage form~such as tablet, caps~le, injectable or the like. These may be conventionally formulated in an oral or parenteral dosage form by com-pounding with a conventional vehicle, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer, flavor or the like as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice.
The following examples are illustrative of the invention and represent preferred embodiments. Other modifications may`be readily produced by suitable variations of the reactions. All temperatures are on the centigrade scale.
