This invention relates to pyrrole derivatives of formula: ##STR1## in which A forms with the pyrrole ring an isoindoline, 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyrazine, 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-5H-[1,4]oxathiino[2,3-c]pyrrole or 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-5H-[1,4]dithiino[2,3-c]pyrrole ring-system and Hetis naphthyridinyl, pyridyl or quinolyl which is unsubstituted or substituted with halogen, (1 to 4 C) alkyl, (1 to 4 C) alkyloxy, (1 to 4 C) alkylthio or CF.sub.3 and R=(3 to 10 C) straight- or branched-chain alkenyl or alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted with alkyloxy, alkylthio, (3 to 6 C) cycloalkyl, NH.sub.2, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkylcarbonylamino, (in which the amino portion is optionally substituted with alkyl), 1- or 2-piperazinyl, piperidyl, piperidino, morpholino, pyrrolidinyl, 1-azetidinyl, carbamoyl, alkylcarbamoyl, dialkylcarbamoyl, (1-piperazinyl)carbonyl, piperidinocarbonyl, (1-pyrrolidinyl)carbonyl, phenyl, pyridyl, 1-imidazolyl, or alternatively R=2- or 3-pyrrolidinyl, 2-, 3- or 4-piperidyl, on the understanding that the alkyl radicals are straight- or branched-chain radicals and contain, except where specifically stated, 1 to 10 C, and that the piperazinyl, piperidino, piperidyl, pyrrolidinyl and azetidinyl radicals can be unsubstituted or substituted at any position with alkyl, alkylcarbonyl, benzyl or hydroxyalkyl, or can alternatively form a lactam group with the nitrogen atom of the ring, and, where they exist, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and optical isomers, are useful as anxiolytics.

Pyrrole derivatives, their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions

Pyrrole derivatives of formula (I): ##STR1## in which A forms with the pyrrole ring an isoindoline, 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyrazine, 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-5H-[1,4]oxathiino[2,3-c]pyrrole or 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-5H-[1,4]dithiino[2,3-c]pyrrole ring-system, Het.dbd.naphthyridinyl, pyridyl or quinolyl which are unsubstituted or substituted with halogen, (1 to 4 C) alkyl, (1 to 4 C) alkyloxy, (1 to 4 C) alkylthio or CF.sub.3, Y.dbd.CO, C.dbd.NOH or CHOH and R.dbd.(3 to 10 C) alkenyl, alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted with OH, alkyloxy, alkylthio, (3 to 6 C) cycloalkyl, NH.sub.2, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkylcarbonylamino, piperazinyl, piperidyl, 1-azetidinyl, morpholino, pyrrolidinyl, carbamoyl, alkylcarbamoyl, dialkylcarbamoyl, (1-piperazinyl)carbonyl, piperidinocarbonyl, pyrrolidinocarbonyl, phenyl, pyridyl, 1-imidazolyl or alternatively R.dbd.2- or 3-pyrrolididnyl, 2-, 3- or 4-piperidyl, (3 to 6 C) cycloalkyl or phenyl which is unsubstituted or substituted with halogen, (1 to 4 C) alkyl, (1 to 4 C) alkyloxy, (1 to 4 C) alkylthio, the said alkyl radicals and portions containing, except where specifically stated, 1 to 10 C, and the piperazinyl, piperidino, piperidyl, pyrrolidinyl, azetidinyl radicals being unsubstituted or substituted at any position by alkyl, alkylcarbonyl, benzyl or hydroxyalkyl, or can alternatively form a lactam group with the nitrogen atom of the ring, and their salts and optical isomers are useful as anxiolytics.

Pyrrole derivatives, and pharmaceutical compositions which contain them

Pyrrole derivatives of formula ##STR1## in which A forms with the pyrrole ring an isoindoline, 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo-[3,4-b]pyrazine, 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-5H-[1,4]-oxathiino-[2,3-c]pyrrole or 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-5H-[1,4]dithiino-[2,3-c]pyrrole ring-system, Y+0, S or NH, Het=naphthyridinyl or quinolyl which are unsubstituted or substituted with halogen, (1 to 4 C) alkyl, (1 to 4 C) alkyloxy, (1 to 4 C) alkylthio, CN or CF.sub.3 and R=(3 to 10 C) alkenyl or alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted with alkyloxy, alkylthio, cycloalkyl, alkylcarbonyl, cycloalkylcarbonyl or cycloalkylcarbamoyl in which the cycloalkyl portions contain 3 to 6 C, NH.sub.2, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkylcarbonylamino, 1- or 2-piperazinyl, piperidyl, piperidino, morpholino, 1-azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, carbamoyl, alkylcarbamoyl, dialkylcarbamoyl, (1-piperazinyl)carbonyl, piperidinocarbonyl, piperidylcarbonyl, (1-pyrrolidinyl)carbonyl, morpholinocarbonyl, aminoalkylcarbamoyl, alkylaminoalkylcarbamoyl, dialkylaminoalkylcarbamoyl, alkyloxyalkylcarbamoyl, phenyl, pyridyl, or 1-imidazolyl, or R=2- or 3-pyrrolidinyl, or 1-imidazolyl, or 2-, 3- or 4-piperidyl, the aforesaid piperazinyl, piperidino, piperidyl, pyrrolidinyl, and azetidinyl radicals being unsubstituted or substituted at any position by alkyl, OH, alkylcarbonyl, benzyl, or hydroxyalkyl, or can form (i) a lactam group with the nitrogen atom of the ring or (ii) a 2-spirodioxolane residue with a carbon of the ring, and the said alkyl radicals containing 1 to 10 C except where specifically stated, are useful as anxiolytics.
