Abstract
The present invention relates to 2'-(ortho-chlorobenzoyl)-4'-chloroglycylanilides, compositions thereof, and their use as medicaments, e.g., as anxiolytic agents. The compounds of the invention have the general formula I ##STR1## in which R represents hydrogen or alkyl, PA0 R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may be identical or different and are selected from hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl, possibly substituted by alkyl, and cycloalkyl having three to six members, possibly substituted by alkyl, with the proviso that, when one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represents hydrogen, the other is not lower alkyl or hydroxyalkyl; and with the further proviso that R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may not simultaneously represent either hydrogen or lower-alkyl. R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may furthermore form, with the nitrogen atom to which they are connected, a nitrogen heterocycle possibly containing a second heteroatom selected from oxygen and nitrogen.
