Abstract
The present invention relates to novel N-substituted naphthofused lactams and salts thereof of the formula ##STR1## Compounds of the general formula I possess the ability to stimulate the release of endogenous growth hormone. Thus, these compounds may be used in the treatment of conditions which require stimulation of growth hormone production or secretion such as in humans with growth hormone deficiency or where increased growth hormone plasma levels are desired, for instance in elderly patients or in livestock.
