The biological activity of the new compounds according to the invention is shown by the following tests:
I. Acute Toxicity
Mice belonging to the NMRI strain (body weight 20-25 g, both male and female) were used, 6 to 10 animals for each dose. The test compound was administered orally in a volume of 20 ml/kg. The applied maximal dose was 1000 mg/kg. After the treatment the animals were observed for a period of 7 days. The mice were kept in a plastic cage at room temperature. The animals got tap water and standard mouse fodder ad libitum. The toxicity data were determined by the aid of the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon [Litchfield, J. T., Wilcoxon, F. W.: J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 96, 99 (1949)]. The results are summarized in Table 1.

2. Tranquillo-Sedative Effect
The hexobarbital narcosis potentiating effect was examined on mice. Groups consisting of 6 animals were used for each dose. The animals were treated orally with the test compound, whereby sleeping was induced 1 hour later by administering a 40 mg/kg i.v. dose of hexobarbital both to the test and control groups. The animals which had a sleeping time more than 2.5 times longer than the control group were considered to show a positive reaction. ED.sub.50 values were calculated from the thus-transformed data [Kaergaard Nielsen C. et al., Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. 2, 170 (1967)]. The results are summarized in Table 2.

The spontaneous motility inhibiting activity was examined according to the method of Borsy et al. Groups consisting of 3 mice each were treated orally with different doses of the compounds to be tested, then the test animals were placed in a Dews equipment. In this equipment the number of interruptions of infrared beam within 30 minutes was counted. From these data 50% inhibiting doses (ID.sub.50) were determined by the aid of a line of regression. [Borsy, J., Csanyi, E., Lazar, I.: Arch. Int.. Pharmacodyn. 124, 1 (1960)]. The data are summarized in Table 3.
TABLE 3______________________________________Motility inhibiting activityTest compound(Example No.) ID.sub.50 (mg/kg)______________________________________12 about 10019 4317 6Meprobamate 232______________________________________
The compound of Example 17, the most active member in the structural group, was examined in detail for tranquillizing and sedative effects to establish whether the supposed human therapeutic activity of the compound would be of antipsychotic or of anxiolytic character.
II. A. Antipsychotic Effect
The antipsychotic (neuroleptic) effect was measured by the inhibition of the learned conditioned avoidance reflex. The male Wistar rats used for the study were of 120-150 g bodyweight at the commencement of learning. A shuttle box was used as experimental device; it consisted of two parts, 24.times.24.5.times.23 cm each, separated by a wall with a 6.times.9 cm gate. In response to a suitable warning stimulus, in order to avoid the punishing (unconditioned) stimulus, animals within the box passed through the gate from one part over the other. The warning, i.e. conditioned stimulus (CS), a white light (1 Hz) blinking for 15 seconds, was applied at the place of the actual animal existence. The unconditioned stimulus (US), in form of 0.6 mA intensity electric shock, was randomly applied to the paw during the last 5 seconds of the conditioned stimulus. Animal's movement during the CS and US from one part of the box over the other, was defined as avoidance and escape responses, respectively. Both responses ceased the actual stimulus and stopped the trial. The time elapsed until the next trial (intertrial interval, ITI) was 15 seconds. While one experiment was carried out daily, an experiment consisted of 80 trials. Learning efficiency was expressed as percentage of the successful to the total avoidances. Effect of the neuroleptic drugs was examined in animals with stabilized conditioned reflexes and with at least 75% learning efficiency. Dosing was carried out once a week, one hour before the measurement in the shuttle box. To calculate the neuroleptic effect (50% inhibiting dose, ID.sub.50), results obtained after the treatment were compared to those obtained on the previous day (controls).
The extrapyramidal syndrome, the most important side effect limiting the application of the neuroleptic drugs in man, can be produced in experimental animals in the form of catalepsy. Our experiments in 150-160 g Wistar rats were performed according to Morpurgo. The catalepsy, appearing 60 minutes after dosing, was scored as follows. Both forelegs of each animal were put for 10 seconds onto a rubber stopper of 3 cm height, then for additional 10 seconds onto a same stopper of 9 cm height. 0.5 and 1 scores per foot (a total of maximum 3 scores) were given if animals failed to return their feet within 10 seconds from the lower and higher stoppers, respectively. The procedure was repeated in each 30 minutes during four hours, obtaining scores proportional to the degree of the catalepsy. Results were used to calculate the minimum effective dose [MED, the lowest dose resulting statistically significant alteration, c.f.: Morpurgo, C.: Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., 137, 87 (1962)]. The data thus obtained are summarized in Table 4.
TABLE 4______________________________________Antipsychotic effect on rat ConditionedTest compound reflex Catalepsy Therapeutic(Example No.) ID.sub.50 (mg/kg) [MED (mg/kg)] index*______________________________________17 26.3 100 3.8Chlorpromazine 13.2 20 1.5Thioridazine 108 80 0.7______________________________________ *Catalepsy MED
Conditioned Reflex ID.sub.50
From the data of the above Table it can be seen that the compound of Example 17 is superior to Thioridazine and inferior to Chlorpromazine considering the antipsychotic effect, but it is superior to both reference substances in respect of the dose ratio of the corresponding side and main effects. Consequently a more favourable safety can be expected in patients treated with the compound of Example 17.
II. B. Anxiolytic Effect
The anxiolytic effect was tested by using the method of Vogel et al. Male Wistar rats of 160-180 g bodyweight were kept free of food and drinking water for 24 and 48 hours, respectively. Test and carrier substances were administered intraperitoneally two hours before testing. Animals within the experimental chamber were provided with drinking water through an inserted tube. After the animals' each twenty lapping for water the device emitted a 2 mA intensity electric shock through the drinking tube. During 5 minutes the shocks tolerated by the animals in order to quench their thirst were counted. The effect of treatment was expressed as the % increase of the tolerated shocks. The minimum effective dose (MED) was determined for each test compound [Voqel, J. R., Beer, B., Clody, D. E.: Psychopharmacologia (Berl.) 21, 1 (1971)]. The data thus obtained are summarized in Table 5.
TABLE 5______________________________________Anxiolytic effect on ratTest compound(Example No.) MED (mg/kg)______________________________________17 0.1Chlordiazepoxide 2.5Meprobamate 25______________________________________
From the above Table it can be seen that the compound of Example 17 is superior to the reference substances by orders of magnitude.
Thus, it can be established that the compound of Example 17 has, when administered in higher doses, a neuroleptic, while in case of smaller doses an anxiolytic character.
III. Anticonvulsive Activity
The pentetrazole spasm inhibiting test was performed according to the modified method of Benziger and Hans. Groups of mice consisting of 6 animals each, belonging to the NMRI strain (body weight: 20-25 g), were treated orally with the compound to be tested and the vehicle without active agent, respectively. I hour after the treatment a dosage of 125 mg/kg of pentetrazole was administered to each animal, intraperitoneally, and the tonic spasm of the lower limb extensor was recorded [Benziger, R., Hans, D.: Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., 167, 245 (1967)].
The inhibition of nicotine spasm and lethality was examined on mice according to the method of Stone. One hour after the oral treatment a dosage of 1.4 mg/kg of nicotine is injected intravenously, and the spasm developed as well as the lethality within 1 hour were recorded at both the test and control groups. [Stone, C. C., Mecklenburg, K. L., Torchiana, M. L.: Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., 117, 419 (1958)].
The ED.sub.50 values were determined according to the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon. The results are shown in Table 6.

IV. Analgesic Effect
The test was carried out on mice, weighing 20-25 g, belonging to the NMRI strain according to the method of Newbould 0.75% acetic acid is administered to the animals in a volume of 20 ml/kg one hour after the treatment with the test compounds and vehicles, respectively. The characteristic "writhing reactions" were counted for a period of 5 minutes, starting from the fifth minute after challenge. The number of writhing was observed for both the treated and the control group. Each group of animals consisted of at least 10 mice. The 50% inhibition doses (ID.sub.50) were determined with the aid of a line of regression [Newbould, B. B.: Brit. J. Pharmacol., 35, 487 (1969)]. The results are disclosed in Table 7.

V. Antianginal Effect
The test was carried out on male rats weighing 180-220 g. The animals were narcotized with the aid of chloralose-urethane. ECG was registered by means of needle electrodes in standard II output. Antianginal effect was tested according to the method of Nieschultz. Experimental coronary insufficiency was induced by administering glanduitrine (4 NE/kg i.v.). The magnitude of the T-wave before and after the administration of glanduitrine was measured in the treated and control groups [Nieschultz, E., Popendiker, K., Hoffmann, I.: Arzneim.-Forsch., 5, 680 (1955)]. The results are summarized in Table 8.

VI. Local Analgesic Effect
The test was carried out according to the method of Truant d'Amato. 0.2 ml of test material was injected around the nervus ischiadicus in the middle of femur with a needle of 1 cm length. The criterion of analgesic effect was the lack of the motoric control of foot muscles. The duration of effect was registered and the 50 percentile effective concentration (EC.sub.50) was calculated on the basis of the dose-effect curve. Lidocain was used as reference substance Truant d'Amato, A. P., Wiedling, S.: Acta Chir. Scand., 116, 351 (1958)]. The results are disclosed in Table 9.

VII. Antiinflammatory Effect
The antiinflammatory effect was investigated on Wistar rats weighing 150-180 g according to the method of Winter et al. 0.1 ml of a 1 percent carrageen suspension was injected subcutaneously into the plantar region of one of the hind paws. The animals were fasted for 12 hours and received drinking water ad libitum. One hour before treatment with the test compound the rats were hydrated orally with 30 ml/kg of tap water. The test compounds and the vehicle were administered p.o. in a volume of 10 ml/kg, then 1 hour later carrageen was applied. The volume of the treated paw was measured by mercury-plethysmometer before and 3 hours after injection in such a way that displacement of the liquid arising from the volume alteration was indicated on a millimeter scale. The dose resulting in an inhibition of 30% (ID.sub.30) was determined by the aid of a line of regression [Winter, C. A., Risley, E. A., Nuss, G. W.: Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 111, 544 (1962)]. The results are summarized in Table 10.
