[Pharmacological research on bonnecor and its metabolites].

The antiarrhythmic and local anesthetic effects of 4 metabolites (G 491, ABD 19-200, ABD 19-199, ABD 19-205) of a new antiarrhythmic drug bonnecor (GS-015) were studied on the models of arrhythmias induced by aconitine (rats), barium chloride (rabbits), electrical fibrillation (cats), ouabain (dogs) as well as surface anesthesia (rabbit cornea). The side effects on the cardiovascular system were investigated on anesthetized cats. As compared with the original compound (bonnecor) metabolites G 491 and ABD 19-200 on different test models exhibited the action which on the antiarrhythmic terms was 2-14 times less weak than that of bonnecor but the metabolites were less toxic.

[The relationship between the chemical structure and anti-arrhythmia action of a number of omega-aminoacyl-3-carbalcoxyaminodibenzazepines].

The antiarrhythmic activity of 20 derivatives of dibenzazepine (the effects on the maximal effective rabbit heart auricle contraction rate, aconitine-induced arrhythmia in rats under or without anesthesia) was studied. It was shown that the most active compounds are those with carbethoxyamine group in position 3 in combination with dimethylamino- or diethylamino-acetyl groups in position 5 of dibenzazepine ring. 5-dimethyl-aminoacetyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz b, f azepine (GS-015, bonnecor) was selected for the further detailed investigation.

[The psychotropic properties of bonnecor and ethacizine].

The comparative study of the psychotropic activity of new acyl derivatives of dibenzazepine and phenothiazine--bonnecor (chlorhydrate 3-carbethoxyamino-5(dimethylaminoacetyl) dibenzazepine and ethacizine (chlorhydrate 2-carbethoxyamino-10-(beta-diethyl-aminopropionyl)phenothiazine)--in the experiments on small laboratory animals showed the presence of the antidepressive, anxiolytic, antiamnesic and antihypoxic effects. The drugs exerted the psychotropic effects at administration in the doses exceeding those which influence the cardiovascular system. By the degree of the anxiolytic action bonnecor and ethacizine are inferior to diazepam, are as potent as trioxasine and are superior to meprobamat.
