Disclosed are 2-amino-5-phenyl-1,3-benzodiazepines of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, or alkoxy; R.sub.2 being able to occupy any of the possible positions on the aromatic ring; R.sub.3 is hydrogen or alkyl; and R.sub.4 is hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, arylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, dialkylaminoethyl, dialkylaminopropyl, (1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidino) methyl, dialkylamino, alkoxycarbonyl or cyano; or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 form, with the adjacent nitrogen atom, a heterocycle having 5 to 7 side chains, optionally containing another heteroatom selected from oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen, this latter being able to be substituted by an alkyl group. The majority of the compounds are obtained by condensation of the corresponding 2-methylthio benzodiazepine hydroiodide with an appropriate amine. The compounds are useful as antidepressants.

2-Amino-5-phenyl-1,3-benzodiazepines

This invention relates to benzo- and thieno-triazine-1,2,3 ones-4 represented by the formula ##STR1## in which m is 2, 3 or 4, X is the vinylene group --CH.dbd.CH-- or a sulfur atom; R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 can be alike or different and are hydrogen, halogen, a lower alkyl radical, lower alkoxy radical or trifluoromethyl radical; when X is --CH--CH-- n is 0, 1 or 2 and R is hydrogen, halogen, a lower alkyl radical, lower alkoxy radical or nitro group; when X is a sulfur atom, R is hydrogen or constitutes a --CH.sub.2 --.sub.4 chain between the two open positions of the thiophenic ring. The compounds are useful as antidepressant drugs.

Benzo- and thieno-triazine-1,2,3 ones-4

Long-acting forms of theophylline for use in treating asthma comprise theophylline associated with a compound of the substituted cinnamamide type of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, a hologen or an acetyl radical; R.sub.1 is hydrogen or the methyl radical; R.sub.2 is ##STR2## wherein R.sub.3 is hydrogen or the methyl radical; or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the adjacent nitrogen tom form the 2,2-dimethyl-3-oxazolidinyl group.

Long-acting theophylline in medicinal form

5-Substituted indan-2-carboxylic acids and functional derivatives thereof having inflammation-reducing properties have the general formula ##STR1## in which R is a phenyl, phenyl-lower alkenyl, phenyl-lower alkyl, phenyl substituted by at least one of the halogens, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, acetamido, amino, lower dialkylamino, nitro, phenyl, lower alkylsulfonyl, lower dialkylaminosulfonyl and sulfamido, cyclohexyl, furyl, lower alkylfuryl, thienyl, halothienyl, lower alkylthienyl, or pyridyl group and R' is a hydroxyl, lower alkoxy, lower dialkylaminoalkoxy, cinnamoylamido lower alkoxy, 2-hydroxyethylamino, amino or lower dialkylaminoalkyl amino group. Besides the esters and amides, the functional derivatives of the acids include the pharmacologically acceptable salts of the above compounds. The compounds are also of low toxicity, have analgesic activity and exert an antipyretic effect.
