Pharmacological properties.
1. Activity on the blood circulation.
_______ _________________________ The hemodynamic effects of compounds of general formula 1 were studied on the anesthetized dog subjected to artificial respiration under the experimental conditions described by D. WELLENS and E. WAUTERS (Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., 171, (1968), 245-250). The measurement of the musculo-cutaneous, cardiac and cerebral outputs, carried out by means of probes places around the femoral (A), carotid (B), coronary (C) and vertebral (D) arteries, showed that the compounds of general formula I
~ -24-11~14Z6 considerably increase the blood circulation.
In these experiments, the maximum score " 2" is assigned to a compound that brings about an increase of circulation of at least 20~ for at least 20 minutes. The maximum score per experiment carried out on two dogs is " 4" , with the possibility of the intermediates form " 0" to " 4" .
For the purpose of comparison, the corresponding values for two known compounds,~papaverine (X) andtheophylline (Y) are also given. The results obtained are given in the following Table I:
TABLE I

The compounds according to the invention are thus useful in the treatment of diseases resulting from central or peripheral circulatory deficiencies.
2. Activity on the central nervous system.

.
Some of the compounds of general formula I were tested for their anti-convulsive activity using the method described by M.A. DAVIS et al. (J. Med. Chem. 7, (1964), 88-94).
The object of the test was to provide evidence of antagonism to convulsions caused by the administration of a convulsive agent (pentetrazol) which makes it possible to determine a possible anti-epileptic potentiality of the tested compounds.
'l'he convulsive agcn~ was administered intraperitoneally to mice (body weight 18-30 g.) in an amount which was sufficient to induce convulsions in 90 to 100~ of the experimental anima~ls:
in the case of pentetrazol, this is 125 mg./kg. The compound to be tested was administered orally one hour before administra-tion of the convulsive agent, using groups of 10 experimental animals. The ED50 was measured, this being the amount of tested compound which inhibits tonic crises in 50~ of the animals. The compound used for comparison was meprobamate.
The results obtained are given in the following Table II:
TABLE II

Compound ED in mg./kg.

0.24 0.30 36 0.18 37 0.10 41 0.18 12 0.032 meprobamate (comparison) 0.62 In the case of this compound, it is not the ED50 but rather the active dose for 3 animals out of 8. Consequently, the ED50 is somewhat greater than this value.
As can be seen from the preceding Table II,the anti-convulsive activity of the compounds according to the inventionis markedly superior to that of meprobamate.
3. Toxicology.

~,~

The -toxicity of the compounds of the invention is relatively low. As an examp]e, for compound 6, r4-(2-chloro-diphenylmethylene)~ 4-hydroxybenzyl)-piperidine hydrochloride~
the LD 50 in the rat is:
41 mg./]cg~ intravenously 1,230 mg./kg. intraperitioneally, 5,423 mg./kg. orally.
. Posolo~y.
The compounds according to the invention may be administered orally, reaetally or parenterally in unit doses of 10 to 50 mg. aceording to the mode of administration, in admixture with the usual pharmaceutieal liquid or solid excipients.
