20676~8 The starting compound of formula VII is known from literature.

The compound of formula I and its physiologically acceptable acid addition salts, referred to hereinafter as compounds according to the invention, exhibit interesting pharmacological activities in animal tests and may therefore be used as pharmaceuticals.

The compounds according to the invention have in particular dopaminergic activity in vivo on the central nervous system, which is detected by contra-lateral rotation when administered at doses of 1 to 20 mg/kg p.o. or 0.1 to 0.3 mg/kg s.c. to rats which have undergone unilateral lesions in the nigrostriatal dopamine tract through a 6-hydroxy-dopamine injection [U. Ungerstedt, Acta physiol. scand.
Suppl. 367, 69 - 93 (1973)].

The compounds according to the invention can therefore be used as dopaminergic agents, e.g. in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Furthermore, the compounds according to the invention effect a decrease on the intra-ocular pressure in rabbits, at concentrations of 10 to 100 ~M. Hale rabbits of ca. 2'k kg are fixed in cages leaving their heads free. The solutions with the compound to be tested are applied to the right eye and the placebo solutions to the left eye (2 drops each, i.e. ca. 40 ~l). The eyes are firstly anaesthetized with a solution containing Novesine (0.4 %) and Fluorescein (0.05 %) and the ocular pressure is determined at various intervals after administration tlO, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 minutes), whereby an applanation tonometer according to Goldberg is used.

The compounds according to the invention are therefore useful in the treatment of glaucoma.
The ccmpounds according to the invention also show activity in the behavioural despair test [R.D. Porsolt et al., Arch. Int. Pharmaco-dyn., 229, 327 - 336 (1977)] upon administering doses of 10 to 100 mg/kg p.o.

The compounds for use according to the invention are therefore useful as antidepressants.

In addition, the compounds according to the invention effect an inhibition of the dependency on cocaine when administered at doses of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg p.o. ~o monkeys which administer the drug themselves according to the method described in Psychopharmacologia (Berl.) 16, 30 - 48 (1969).

The compounds according to the invention may therefore be used in the prevention, reduction or treatment of dependency (or for treatment after deprivation to avoid renewed dependency) arising from the abuse of cocaine.

For these therapeutical activities, an indicated daily dosage lies in the range ca. 1 to 100 mg, especially ca. 10 to 80 mg, of the compound according to the invention, which is conveniently administered e.g. in part doses up to 4 times daily.

The compounds according to the invention may be administered in any usual manner, e.g. orally, for example in the form of tablets or capsules, or parenterally, for example in the form of injection solutions or suspensions.

For the treatment of glaucoma, the compounds according to the invention are preferably applied topically to the eye in ca. 0.002 to ca. 0.02 % ophthalmological solutions.

2~676~8 In accordance with the foregoing, the present invention also provides a compound according to the invention, for use as a pharmaceutical, e.g. for the treatment of glaucoma, depression, cocaine dependency or Morbus Parkinson.

The present invention furthermore provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound according to the invention in association with at least one pharmaceutical carrier or diluent. Such compositions may be manufactured in conventional manner.

In the following example, all temperatures are uncorrected and are in degrees Centigrade.

20676~8 EXAMPLE: (-)-(3~,4aa,10a~)-1,2,3,4,4a,5,10,10a-octahydro-3-1(2-pyridylthio)methyl]-l-methyl-6-hydroxy-benzolg]quinoline a) (+)-(3~,4aa,10aO-1,2,3,4,4a,5,10,10a-octahydro-3-[(2-pyridyl-thio)methyl]-1,6-dimethoxy-benzolglquinoline A solution of 11 g (30.9 mM) of (+)-(3~,4aa,10a~)-1,2,3,4,4a,5,10,10a-octahydro-3-mesyloxymethyl-1,6-dimethoxy-benzo[g]quinoline and 11 g (100 mM) of 2-mercaptopyridine in 200 ml of dimethylformamide is mixed at 10 - 15 with 41 ml of 2 N
NaOH and stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. The suspension is worked by by concentrating in a rotary evaporator, mixing with water and extracting with methylene chloride. The organic phases are dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Chromatography on silical gel with methylene chloride/3% ethanol yields 5.6 g of the title compound (49% of theory).

NMR (CDCl3, 360 MHz) ~ 0.94 (q, J = 12 ~z, H-C9aX), 2.74 (dd, J1 =
12 Hz, J2 = 18 Hz, H-C5aX), 3.61 (s, N-OCH3), 3.8 (s, C-OCH3).

b) (~)-(3~,4a,10aO-1,2,3,4,4a,5,10,10a-octahydro-3-[(2-pyridyl-thio)methyll-6-methoxy-benzo[glquinoline 10 g (27 mM) of the compound obtained under a) and 37.8 g (570 mM) of zinc are suspended in a solution of 55 ml of water and 110 ml of acetic acid and stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. The suspension is filtered through Hyflo, concentrated, adjusted to pH
7 - 8 with 2 N NaOH and extracted with methylene chloride. After drying over Na2SO4, filtering and concentrating on a rotary evaporator, 8 g of crude product are obtained as a yellow oil, and this is chromatographed on silica gel with methylene chloride/2.5%
methanol: 4.6 g of the title compound (50~ of theory) are thereby obtained as a yellowish oil.

NMR (CDCl3, 360 MHz) ~ 1.03 (q, J = 12 Hz, H-C9aX), 2.67 (t, J =
12, H-C5aX), 2.88 (b, N-H), 3.8 (s, C-OCH3).

c) (-)-(3,C,4ao~,10a~)-1,2,3,4,4a,5,10,10a-octahydro-3-1(2-pyridyl-thio)methyl]-6-methoxy-benzolglquinoline In order to split the racemate, the racemic sec. amine obtained under b) is converted using (-)-camphanic acid chloride into the two diastereoisomeric amides, which are separated by fractional crystallization from diisopropyl ether. The two diastereoisomeric amides possess the following rotational values (CHC13): [alD20 =
- 108 resp. [alD20 = + 86. In order to carry out amide hydrolysis, 3.4 g (6.5 mM) of the amide with [~1D20 = - 108 are stirred for 16 hours at 105 in 135 ml of conc. HCl, diluted with water, neutralized at 10 with 10 N NaOH and extracted with methylene chloride/10% isopropanol. The organic phases are dried with Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The yield is 2 g of crude product, which is chromatographed on silica gel with methylene chloride/7% methanol. The resulting 1.6 g of pure enantiomer are used further without characterization.

d) (-)-(3~,4a~,10a~)-1,2,3,4,4a,5,10,10a-octahydro-3-[(2-pyridyl-thio)methyl]-6-hydroxy-benzolg]quinoline 1.6 g (4.7 mM) of the pure enantiomer obtained under c) in 14 ml of HBr (47%) are stirred for 6 hours at 100. The mixture is subsequently concentrated, neutralized with 2 N NaOH and extracted with methylene chloride/10% isopropanol. After drying over Na2SO4, filtering and concentrating by evaporation, 1.8 g of crude hydroxy derivative are obtained, which is chromatographed on silica gel with methylene chloride/7% methanol. The resulting 1 g of pure hydroxy derivative is immediately N-methylated.

20676~8 e) (-)-(3~,4a~,10aO-1,2,3,4,4a,5,10,10a-octahydro-3-[(2-pyridyl-thio)methyl]-l-methyl-6-hydroxy-benzolg]quinoline A solution of 1 g (3.06 mM) of the hydroxy derivative obtained under d) and 8 ml of aqueous 35% formaldehyde solution in 80 ml of methanol is stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature, and subsequently mixed slowly in portions at 0 with 2.2 g of NaBH4.
After stirring for 2 hours at room temperature, it is concentrated, mixed with NaHC03 solution and extracted with chloroform. Drying over Na2S04, filtering and concentrating by evaporation yield 1 g (99% of theory) of pure title compound, which is crystallized from acetone/ethyl acetate: la]D20 = _ 162 (pyridine). Following recrystallization from acetone/ethyl acetate: [~]D20 = -160 (pyridine). M.p. - 186 - 187.
