Ja. Diaz et al., SYNTHESIS AND ANTIDEPRESSANT EVALUATION OF NEW HETERO[2,1]BENZOTHIAZEPINE DERIVATIVES, Archiv der pharmazie, 329(7), 1996, pp. 352-360
As a part of a research program directed to the discovery of novel ant
idepressant agents, a series of new hetero[2,1]benzothiazepine derivat
ives was synthesized. Some of these compounds antagonized the ptosis a
nd motor depression induced by tetrabenazine and were also active in t
he Porsolt forced swimming test.
