E-homo-eburnane derivatl_es, process for th.ir preparatiorl, and_pharmaceutical compositions containin~ these comr,ounds This invention relates to new E-homo eburnane derlvatives, process for their preparation, and pharmaceutical compositions containing them as active ingredient.

2 ) R2 wherein Rl and R2 independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and acid addition salts thereof.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a process for the preparation of racemic or optically active E-homo-eburnane derivatives of the formula /I/, which process comprises subjecting a racemic A 2915 - 67 PT/Gi or opticall.y active octahydroindolo/~,3-a7quinoline derivative of the formula /II/, P 3 2 C/~ C H 2 wherein A is hydrogen or a -CH2-CH/C02R1/2 or -CH2-c/co2R /2-CH2~cH/co2R /2 in which Rl and R2 are as defined above, R3 is identical with Rl or, il A represents 'nydrosen, R3 may also stand for hydrogen, or an acid addition salt thereof to ring closure, resol.v-ing, if desired, the compounds of the formula /I/ obtained and/or convertin~ the racemic or optically active compounds of the formula /I/ into acid~addition salts thereof.
The compounds of the formula /I/ are pharmaceutical-ly active, for example their certain representatives, in particular those from the cis-series, show antidepressive activity, while others, especially the compounds of the trans-series, are potent antihypoxial agents.

According to a further aspect of the invention there are provided pharmaceutical compositions, which comprise as an active ingredient at l.east one racemic or optically active E-homo-eburnane derivative of the formula /I/ or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, in admixture with inert solid or liquid pharmaceutical carriers and/or additives.
The term "alkyl group having 1 to ~ carbon atoms"
as used herei.n means ~traight or branched chained aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having l to 6 carbon atoms, e.g. methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec.-butyl, ter~.--butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, n-hexyl or isohexyl groups, etc.
If desired, the compounds of the formula /I/ may be converted into their acid addition sal s. ~uitable acids for this purpose include inorganic acids, such as hydrogen halides, e~G~. hydrochloric acid, hydrogen bromide, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, perhaloic acids e.g.
perchloric acid, etc.; organic carboxylic acids such as formic acid 9 acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, ascorbic acid, citric acid, malic acid, salicyli.c acid, lactic acid, cinnalmic acid, benzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, ~-amino-benzoic acid, ~-hydroxy-benzoic acid, p-amino-salicylic acid, etc.; alkylsulfonic acids, such as methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, etc ;
cycloaliphatic acids, e.g cyclohexylsulfonic acid; aryl-sulfonic acids, e~g. p-toluene-sulfonic acid, naphthyl-sulfonic acid, sulfanylic acid, etc.; amino acids, such asasparaginic acid, glutaminic acid, ~ acetyl-asparaOinic acid, N-acetyl-glutaric acid, etc.
The starting compounds oE` the for;nula /II/ can be prepared as described in the Belgian patent specification ~lo. 883,576 by electrophilic alkylation of tr.e correspond-ing hexahydroindolo/2,3-a7quinolizinium salts with a methylenemalonic acid dialkylester and subsequent hydrogena-tion and, if desired, a further partial hydrolysis.
The cyclization of the compounds of the form~lla /II/, in which A stands for a hydrogen atom or a CH2-CH/C02~1/2 or -CH2-C/C02Rl/2-CE~2-CEI/C02Rl/2 group, ~3 `~s the same meaning as Rl and Rl and R2 are as defined above, can be carried out with sufficiently strong bases, e.g. alkali metal hydri~es, such as sodium nydride, potassium hydride, etc,, alkali metal alcoholates, suc~ as ootassium or sodium ethylate, preferably potassium ter .-butylate in aprotic or-,anic solvents, such as xy]ene, toluene, preferably benzene. The cyclization is preferably perform-ed at the boiling temperature of the reaction mixture.The reaction is completed in a very short timie, generally in 10 to 40 minutes, preferably 15 to 30 minutes.
The ring closure of the compounds of the formula /II/, in which A and R3 stand for a hydrogen atom, Rl and R2 have the same meaning as defined above, is carried out with a dehydrating agent, preferably phosphorus oxychloride or phosphorus pentoxide, preferably in an organic solvent inert under the reaction conditions, such Df~

as aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably ben~ene, or chlorina~ed hydrocarbons r e.~. chloroform or carbon tetrachloride.
If the compounds of the formula /II/ are used in the form of their acid addition salts, e.g. hydrogen halides, perchlorates, etc., it is preferred to set free the basic compounds from their salts before cyclization.
The liberation of the bases can for example be carried out with a dilute aqueous solution of an inor~anic base, such as an alkali metal carbonate, e.g. sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, an alkali metal hydroxide, e.~.
sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc., in a ~.iater--i;nmiscible inert organic solvent, such as halogenated hydrocarbons, e.g. dichloromethane, chloroform etc.
By the process according to the invention both cis- and trans-compounds of the for.nula /I/ can be prepared from the corresponding cis- and trans-compounds of the formula /II/, respectively.
3y th- process according to the invention racemic and optically active cornpounds of the formula /I/ can equally be prepared. Starting from racemic compouncs, racemic end products of the formula /I/ are obtained which, if desired, can be resolved by conventional techniques. From optically active starting compounds directly optically active end products can be obtained.
The racemic or optically active compounds of the formula /I/ can be converted into their acid addition scllts ;~ith an organic or inorganic acid.
T'ne salls are generally prepared in an inert organic solvent, for examp1e in an aliphatic alcohol havinT 1 to 6 carbon atoms, by dissolvinO the raCeMiC
or optically active compounds of the formula /1/ in said solvent addin~ he correspondin T acid into the solution while the p~ becomes slightly acidic /about pH 6/ ar.d subsequently separatinT the acid addition salt obtained from the re~ction mixture preferably by precipitatinO with a water-immiscible organic solvent, such as diethyl ether.
If desired, the racemic or optically active COmDO-In~S of the formula /I/ or acid addition salts there-of nay be s~lbJected to further purification e.g. re-crystall zation. The solvents used for recrystallization a~e selec'el in accordanc- with the solubility and crystallizability of the comDounds ~o be recrystalli7ed.
Th.e -ntihypoxial activi y of certain compounds ~itnin th-- scope of t'ne invention, par icllarly of
3~,17cL-Irans-derivatives was ~ested on T;he survival time of mice, in normobaric hypoxia.
The test was carried out as follows:
Five male mice are placed into a 3-litre glass cylinder through which a mixture of 96 3,/ nitrogen and
4 % oxygen is passed. The interval between placing the mice into the cylinder and the deat'n of the animals is measured. Animals livinO at least t~lice as long as the average survival time of the untreated animals are cor.sidered protected. The animals are treated in groups of 10, administering an intraperitoneal dose of 50 m3./k,g.
of bodyweight 30 minutes before placing them into the ~lass cylinder.
The results are set forth in the following ~able.
