Abstract
Tricyclic alkylamines, and their acid addition salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids, are disclosed. The tricyclic ring system for these compounds is selected from the group consisting of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocyclopent[b]indole, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole and 5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydrocyclohept[b]indole. The compounds are characterized further in that the ring system carbon atom bearing the alkylamine residue is carbon atom 3, 1 and 6 in the respective ring systems and in each case the said carbon atom also is substituted with a lower alkyl. The tricyclic alkylamines are useful antidepressant agents. Methods for their preparation and use are disclosed.
