Claims
- 1. A compound selected from the group of 2,9-dioxatricyclo[4,3,1,0.sup.3,7 ] decanes of formula I ##STR131## wherein R.sub.1' and R.sub.1" are the same or different and R.sub.1' represents hydrogen, an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or a phenylalkyl group containing 7 to 9 carbon atoms, and R.sub.1" represents an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or a phenylalkyl group containing 7 to 9 carbon atoms;
- one of R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is hydrogen and the other represents hydroxy, an acyloxy group Z--COO-- wherein Z is alkyl or alkenyl, containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or phenyl, or a carbamyloxy group Z--NHCOO-- wherein Z is alkyl or alkenyl, containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl, or R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 jointly represent oxygen;
- one of R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 is hydrogen and the other represents an alkoxy group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or an aralkyloxy group containing 7 to 9 carbon atoms;
- and y and y' each represent hydrogen or jointly form a bond;
- and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.
- 2. The compound as defined in claim 1 having the formula (I a) ##STR132## wherein R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 are the same or different and R.sub.8 represents hydrogen, alkyl containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms or benzyl, and R.sub.9 represents alkyl containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms or benzyl.
- 3. The compound as defined in claim 1 having the formula (X) ##STR133## wherein R.sub.13 represents an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms or benzyl and R is an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms or benzyl.
- 4. The compound as defined in claim 1 which is ##STR134## 3-N-methyl-aminomethyl-4.beta.-hydroxy-8-methoxy-10-methyl-2,9-dioxatricyclo[4,3,1,0.sup.3,7 ]decane of formula (VII), and its pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts.
- 5. The compound as defined in claim 1 having the formula (XI) ##STR135## wherein R.sub.13 is alkyl containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms or benzyl.
- 6. A pharmaceutical composition comprising an inert carrier material and a sedatively or soporifically effective amount of a compound as defined in claim 1.
- 7. The method for sedating larger mammals comprising the step of administering to a larger mammal the pharmaceutical composition as defined in claim 6.
- 8. The method for increasing and improving sleep in larger mammals comprising the step of administering to a larger mammal the pharmaceutical composition as defined in claim 6.
- 9. A method of sedating or increasing and improving sleep in larger mammals comprising the step of administering to a larger mammal 0.075 to 1 mg/kg of a compound as defined by claim 1.
- 10. The method of treatment as defined by claim 9, wherein the administering step comprises administering a daily dosage of from about 5 to 50 mg of said compound.
