1. Antagonism of Tetrabenazine Ptosis on Mice

Method. The test were performed according to the method of Hoffmeister et al. which was adapted to mice (Arzneim, Forschung 19, 846-858 (1969)). Groups consisting of 10-20 mice each were treated perorally, with different doses of the compounds to be tested. The control group was treated only with the corresponding carrier. After 30 minutes tetrabenazine (3-isobutyl-9,10-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4,6,7-hexahydrobenzo(a)-quinolizine-2-one) was administered intraperitoneally at a dosage of 50 mg/kg. The number of animals having closed palpebral fissure was determined in each group after 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes, resp.

Evaluation. The mean value of ptosis was calculated in each group and the deviation from that of the control group (i.e., the inhibition) was expressed in percentage. From the data obtained the ED.sub.50 value and the therapeutical index were determined from the novel compound tested as well as for anitryptiline. The results obtained are shown in Table I.

The therapeutical index of the compound of the invention is several times higher than that of the amitryptiline widely used in the clinical practice with good results.

2. Antagonzim of Reserpine Ptosis on Mice

Method. Groups consisting of 10 mice each were treated with 6 mg/kg of reserpine, subcutaneously, according to the method of Hoffmeister et al. (Arzneim. Forschung 19, 846-858 (1969)). After 60 minutes the compounds tested were administered to the animals, while the animals of the control groups were treated with the corresponding vehicle without the active agent. The animals with ptosis were counted 60 and 120 minutes after the administration of the compounds to be tested. Evaluation was carried out as given under the above test. The results obtained are shown in Table II.

TABLE II______________________________________Antagonism of Reserpine Ptosis on MiceCompound LD.sub.50 ED.sub.50 Therapeutical(Example No.) (mg/kg) (mg/kg) index______________________________________6 >2000 20 >1001 >2000 17 >117Amitryptiline 225 65 3.5______________________________________

The compounds of the general formula (I) are superior to the reference compound concerning both the absolute dose and the therapeutical index.

3. Inhibition of Pentetrazole Spasm

Method. The test was performed in white mice according to a modified method of Banziger and Hane (Arch.Int. Pharmacodyn. 167. 245 (1967)). Each group of animals consisting of 6 mice was treated orally with the compound to be tested and the vehicle without active agent, respectively. One hour after the treatment a dosage of 125 mg/kg of pentetrazole was administered to each animal, intraperitoneally, and the tonic extensoric spasms of the hind limbs were recorded. The results are shown in Table III.

TABLE III______________________________________Inhibition of Pentetrazole SpasmCompound LD.sub.50 ED.sub.50 Therapeutical(Example No.) (mg/kg) (mg/kg) index______________________________________1 >2000 295 >72 >1000 64 >15Trimethadion 2050 490 4.3______________________________________

From Table III it can be concluded that the compounds of the invention are superior to the reference compound concerning both the absolute dose and the therapeutical index.

4. Inhibition of Nicotine Spasm and Lethality

Method. The test was carried out according to the method of Stone. (Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. 117, 419 (1958)). The test compounds and the carrier, respectively, were administered orally; an hour later the animals received a 1.4 mg/kg i.v. dose of nicotine and the spasms and lethality were registered within an hour for the treated and control groups. The results are summarized in Table IV.

TABLE IV______________________________________Inhibition of Nicotine Spasm and LethalityCompound LD.sub.50 ED.sub.50 Therapeutical(Example No.) (mg/kg) (mg/kg) index______________________________________1 >2000 68 >29Trihexyphenidyl 365 20 18.3______________________________________

The therapeutical wideness of the test compound exceeds that of the trihexyphenidyl used as reference substance.

5. Hexobarbital Narcosis Potentiating Effect

Method. The test was carried out on white mice with the aid of Kaergard's method (Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. 2, 170 (1967)). Groups consisting of six mice were used for each dose. The test compound was administered orally and one hour after this treatment narcosis was induced by means of a 40 mg/kg i.v. dose of hexobarbital. The control group received carrier instead of the test compound.

Evaluation. Those mice were considered to have a positive reaction which show a narcosis time at lest 2.5 times longer than that of the control group. The ED.sub.50 values thus transformed were calculated. The results are summarized in Table V.

TABLE V______________________________________Hexobarbital narcosis potentiating effectCompound LD.sub.50 ED.sub.50 Therapeutical(Example No.) (mg/kg) (mg/kg) index______________________________________1 >2000 50 >402 >1000 110 >95 >1000 200 >5Meprobamate 1100 270 4.1______________________________________
