- 4. The tricyclic compound as claimed in claim 3, wherein R.sup.5 represents hydrogen.
- 5. The tricyclic compound as claimed in claim 4, wherein one of R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 represents C1-6 alkyl, hydroxy, C1-6 alkoxy, C1-6 alkanoyloxy, C1-6 alkylthio, thiocyanato or halogen.
- 6. The tricyclic compound as claimed in claim 5, wherein one of R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 represents C1-6 alkyl, C1-6 alkoxy, C1-6 alkylthio, amino, C1-6 alkylamino, halogenated C1-6 alkyl, halogenated C1-6 alkoxy, halogen, nitro, cyano, carboxy, C1-6 alkoxycarbonyl, hydroxymethyl, CR.sup.9 R.sup.10 CO.sub.2 R.sup.11 (wherein each of R.sup.9, R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 independently represents hydrogen or C1-6 alkyl) or CONR.sup.12 R.sup.13 (wherein each of R.sup.12 and R.sup.13 independently represents hydrogen or C1-6 alkyl).
- 7. The tricyclic compound as claimed in claim 6, wherein R.sup.1 represents hydrogen.
- 8. 10,11-Dihydro-N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3-methyl-5H-dibenz[a,d]cyclohepten-5-carboxamide.
- 9. 2-Bromo-10, 11-dihydro-N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-5H-dibenz[a,d]cyclohepten-5-carboxamide.
- 10. A pharmaceutical composition comprises phermaceutically acceptable carrier and as active ingredient, effective amount of the compound as defined by claim 1.
- 11. The tricyclic compound as claimed in claim 1, provided that when Y.sup.1 -Y.sup.2 represents CH.sub.2 -CH.sub.2 then (i) each of R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 independently represents hydrogen, hydroxy, C1-6 alkoxy, C1-6 alkanoyloxy, C1-6 alkylthio, thiocyanate or halogen; or (ii) one of R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 represents hydrogen, one of the remaining two groups represents 2-isopropyl and the third group represents 6-isopropyl.
