Synthesis and antidepressant evaluation of new hetero[2,1]benzothiazepine derivatives

Arch Pharm (Weinheim). 1996 Jul;329(7):352-60. doi: 10.1002/ardp.19963290705.

Abstract

As a part of a research program directed to the discovery of novel antidepressant agents, a series of new hetero[2,1]benzothiazepine derivatives was synthesized. Some of these compounds antagonized the ptosis and motor depression induced by tetrabenazine and were also active in the Porsolt forced swimming test.
