The perrormance of the novel compounds of the present inventio~ in standard tests with laboratory ani-mals which are known to correlate well with relief of anxiety in man indicates that they possess central nervous system activity at nontoxic doses and thus are useful as anxiolytic agen~s. Furthermore, these compounds have been shown by biological data to be useful as antiepileptic agents, particularly in the treatment of grand mal epilepsy seizures~ and as sedative-hypnotic and skeletal muscle relaxant agents.
The an~i-anxiety and anticonvulsant properties of the novel compounds of the present invention have been established in a test which indicates anxiolytic and anti-epilep~ic activity by the measure of protection they pro-vide from convulsions resulting from the administration of pentylenetetrazole. Single or graded dose levels of the test compounds were administered orally or intraperitoneally in a 2% starch vehicle, containing 0.5% v/v polyethylene glycol and one drop of Polysorbate 80~to groups of at least 4 rats. At 30 or 60 minutes, the rats were treated intravenously with pentylenetetrazole at a dose of 23 mg/kg of body weight. This dose is estimated to cause clonic sei~ures in 99% of unprotected rats. It has been reported ~R. T. Hill and D. H. Tedeschi, "Animal Testing and Screening Procedures in Evaluating Psychotropic Drugs" in "An Introduction to Psychopharmacology", Eds. R. R. Rech and K. E. Moore, Raven Press, New York, p. 237-288 (1971)]
that there is a high degree of correlation between the ability of compounds to inhibit the seizure inducing effect of pentylenetetrazole in rats and the effectiveness of those compounds as anxiolytic and anticonvulsive agents in higher warm-blooded animals. The results of this test on representative compounds of the present invention are shown in Table I.

Clody, "A Simple and Reliable Conflict Procedure for Testing Anti-Anxiety Agents", Psychopharmacologia, 21, 1-7 (1971). A conflict situation is induced in rats by a modifica~ion of this method.
Groups of 6 native, Wistar strain rats, weighing 200-240 g each were deprived of water for 48 hours and food for 24 hours. The test compounds were administered in single or graded, oral or intraperitoneal doses, sus-pended in a 2% starch vehicle containing 0.5% v/v poly-ethylene glycol and one drop of polysorbate 80. Control animals received the vehicle alone. At 30 to 60 minutes each rat was placed in an individual plexiglass chamber.
Water ~as available ad libitum from a tap located in the rear of the chamber. A 0.7 milliampere DC shocking cur-rent wa~ established between the stainless steel grid floor and the tap. After 20 licks of non-shocked drinking~ a shock was delivered for 2 seconds and then further shocks we~e delivered on a ratio of one shock for 2 seconds for every 20 licks. This was continued for a total of 3 minutes. The number of shocks taken by each rat during the 3 minute interval was recorded and compared to a control group. The test compounds are considered active if the number of shocks received by the test group is significantly higher than the control group by the Mann-Witney U test. Results of this test on representa-tive compounds of this invention appear in Table II.

A modification of the method described by R. F. Squires~ et al., Nature, 256, No. 21, p. 732 ~Aprll ~!l2~

1977) and H. ~ohler, et al., Science, 198, p. 849 ~1977 was employed.
Male albino rats (Wistar ~train, weighing 150-200 g each) were obtained Çrolm Royalhart Farms. 3H-Meth-yldiazepam (79.9 Ci/mmol) and 3H-methylflunitrazepam (84.3 Ci/m~ol) ~ere obtained from New England Nuclear.
The ~es~ compounds were solubilized in either dimethyl-formamide, acetic acid, ethanol or hydrochloric acid.
Whole cortex of rats was homogenized gently in 20 volumes of ice-cold 0.32 M sucrose, centrifuged twice at lO00 g for lO minutes and then recentrifuged at 30,000 g for 20 minutes to produce a crude P2-synaptosomal fraction.
The P2-fraction was either: ~l) resuspended in twice the original volume in hypotonic 50 mM Tris.HCl (pH 7.4), or (2) resuspended in one-half the original volume in hypotonic lO mM Tris.HCl (pH 7.4) and then was frozen (-20C) until time of use. Frozen P2 preparations were thawed and resuspended in four times the original homo-genizing volume at time of assay.
2Q The binding assay consisted of 300~1 of the P2-fraction suspension ~0.2-0.4 mg protein), lO0 ~ of test drug and lO0 ~l of 3H-diazepam (1.5 nM, final concentration) or 3H-flunitrazepam (1.0 nM, final concentration) which was added to 1.5 ml of 50 mM Tris.HCl (pH 7.4). Non-specific binding controls and total binding controls received lO0 ~l of diazepam (3 M, final concentration) and 100 ~l of deionized water, respectively, in place of the test compound. Incubation for 30 minutes proceeded in ice and was terminated by filtration, under vacuum, through l~hatman GF/C glass fiber filters. The filters were washed twice with 5 ml of ice-cold 50 mM Tris.HCl (pH 7.4) and placed in scintillation vials. After drying at 50-60C
for 30 minutes, 10 ml of Beckman Ready-Solv~l HP (a high performance pre-mix scintillation cocktail, registered trademark of Beckman Instruments, Inc., Irvine, CA 92713) was added and the radioactivity determined in a scintillation counter.

Inhibition of binding was calculated by the di~ference between total bind.ing and binding in the presence of test compound, divided by the total binding x 100.

Groups of 6 rats were treated orally with vehicle (5 ml/kg) or graded doses of the ~est compouods. Sixty minutes later, individ-ual rats were placed in Actophotometers and locomotor activity was measured ~or 5 minutes after a brie~ (30 sec.) habituation period. Motor activity counts (number of crossings of the photo cells) were recorded for each rat, and mean activity counts were calculated for each treatment group. The dose causing a 50% decrease in mean activ;ty counts compared with the vehicle group (MDDso) was calculated rom a linear regression equation. The test results of representative compounds appear in Table V.

A
preferred dosage regimen for optimum results would be from about 0.5 mg to about 10.0 mg/kg of body weight per day.
Dosage units are employed such that a total oÇ from about 10 to about 700 mg of active compound for a subject of about 70 kg of body weight are administered in a 24 hour period. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimum therapeutic response. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportlonally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. The compounds of this invention are preferably administered orally but may be administered in any convenient manner such as by the intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes.
Compositions according to the present invention having the desired clarity, stability and adaptability for parenteral use are obtained by dissolving from 0.10% to 10.0% by weight of active compound in a vehicle consisting of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol or mixtures thereof.
Especially satisfactory are glycerin, propylene glycol, and polyethylene glycols. The polyethylene glycols con-sist of a mixture of nonvolatile, normally liquid, polyethylene 31.;2'7~t~3~D~

glycols which are soluble in both water and organic liqulds and which have molecu:Lar weights of from about 200 to 1500. Although the amount of active compound dissolved in the above vehicle may vary from 0.10% to 10.0% by weight, it is preferred that the amount of active compound employed be from about 3.0% to about 9.0% by weight.
Although various mixtures of the aforementioned nonvola-tile polyethylene glycols may be employed, it is preferred to use a mixture having an average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 400.
In addition to the active compound, ~he paren-teral sol~tions may also contain various preservatives which may be used to prevent bacterial and fun~al contam-ination. The preservatives which may be used for these purposes are, for example, myristyl-gamma-picolinium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, phenethyl alcohol, p-chlorophenyl-alpha-glycerol ether, methyl and propyl parabens, and thimerosal. As a practical matter, it is also convenient to employ antioxidants. Suitable antioxidants include, for example, sodium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, and sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate.
Generally, from about 0.05% to about 0.2% concentrations of antioxidant are employed.
For intramuscular injection, the preferred con-centration of active compound is 0.25 to 0.50 mg/ml of the final compositions. The novel compounds of the present invention are equally adapted to intravenous administra-tion when diluted with water or diluents employed in intra-venous therapy such as isotonic glucose in appropriate quantities. For intravenous use, initial concentrations down to about 0.05 to 0.25 mg/ml of active ingredient are satisfactory.
The active compounds of the present invention may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carrier, or they may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, or compressed into tablets, or incorporated directly into the ~7~ 8 food of ~he diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compounds may be incorporated with excipients and used ;n the form of tablets ! troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers and the like Additionally, the active ingredient may be incorporaeed with the proper pharmaceutical carrier or carriers known in the art to produce a sustained-release eablet or capsule. Such compo~ition~ and prepara~ions should contain at least O.I% of active compound. The percentage of the compositions and preparations may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 27~ to about 60% of the weight of the unit dose. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained.
The tablets, troches, pills, capsules and the like may also contain one or more of the following: a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a dis-integrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; a wetting agent such as sodium lauryl sul~ate and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or sac-charin may be added or a flavoring agent such as pepper-mint, oil of wintergreen or cherry flavoring. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets, pills or capsules may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used in preparing any dosage unit form should be pharmaceutically pure and substantially nontoxic in the amounts employed.
