1-(Aminoalkyl)-6-aryl-4H-s-triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]benzodiazepines with antianxiety and antidepressant activity

Abstract
A series of 1-(aminoalkyl)-6-aryl-4H-s-triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]benzodiazepines was prepared and evaluated for CNS activity. Members of this series have activity in pharmacological test systems designed to detect both anxiolytic and antidepressant activity in mice. Each type of activity could be varied independently by appropriate substituent selections.
