Conclusions
-
1.
A convenient method for producing octahydroacridine by reduction of the tetrahydro-derivatives with concentrated formic acid was developed.
-
2.
Trans-10-γ-dimethyl- and 10-γ-methyl- and cis-10-γ-dimethylaminopropyl derivatives of 1,2,3, 4,4a,9,9a,10-octahydroacridine were synthesized and isolated in the form of the maleates.
-
3.
It was shown that the compounds obtained possess a number of pharmacological properties, characteristic of imizine (imipramine) and other tricyclic antidepressants.
-
4.
No significant difference was detected in the activities of the cis-and trans-isomers. Trans-10-methylaminopropyl-l,2,3,4,4a,9,9a,10-octahydroacridine is somewhat less active and toxic than the dimethyl analog corresponding to it.
