Division of Sandnz-Wander, Inc., Hunover, S e w Jersey 07.936 Received Sovember 30, 1910 The preparation of 1,6,7,8,O,c3a-hexahgdro-4-methyithio-2~-p~~rido[1,2-c]p~rimidine and l,5,6,7,8,8a-hexahydro-3-methylthioimidazo[l,j-a] pyridine and their reactiona with iaatoic anhydride and with anthranilic acid are described. The pharmacology of the reaction products is discussed.

Recently Ziegler and COM orkers' investigated the reaction of isatoic anhydride n ith 2-methylniercaptoiniidazoline. We nom nould like t o describe the reaction of 2 novel bicyclic mercaptomethylureas n ith a variety of isatoic anhydrides and anthranilic acids and discuss the pharmacological properties of the reaction products. The first saturated imidazo [l,Z-a]pyridine, namely, the urea 1, was reported by Winterfeld and Schueler.2 When n-e allowed pipe~olylamine~ to react with CSI4 the thiourea 2 was obtained, which on reaction n i t h Me1 yielded 3.

I n the same manner, 4,5dimethoxyanthranilic acid and several other anthranilic acids (see Experimental Section and Table I) could be treated ryith 3a and 4a. Pharmacology.-In the course of preliminary investigations on the pharmacological activitieb of a series of tetracyclic quinazolirione derivatives, it was noted that these substances provided a profile of CKSdepressant activity not unlike that obtained n i t h standard sedative-hypnotics. Each of the present series of compds v a s submitted to a battery of behavioral and drug-interaction tests 111 mice, with %elected compds being further investigated in behavioral tests in squirrel monkeys. The results LTith the test compds nere compared to those obtained n i t h methaqualone, glutethimide, and, or phenobarbital.

by the ability of substances t o antagonize amphetamineinduced stimulation of locomotor activity in mice. I n this respect, compds in the present series separated into two categories: those potentiating amphetamine (7 and 8) and those antagonizing amphetamine (7a, 7d, and 7). Because amphetamine antagonism has been used in the past as a measure of potential tranquilizing activity, 7d was further tested in the fighting mouse test.14 As can be seen from Table I, 7d provided antagonism of shock-induced fighting in mice st doses below those showing antagonism of amphetamine. The results presented in these studies indicate that certain pyridoimidazoquinazolinones and pyridopyrimidoquinazolinones possess CNS-depressant activities with profiles demonstrated over a broad range of testing procedures, suggesting that the compds are sedatives and/or tranquilizers.
