Abstract

The invention relates to benzopyrrolobenzodiazepines and quinobenzodiazepines of the formula ##STR1## where X and Y may be the same or different and each is hydrogen, halogen, CF.sub.3, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkylthio and lower alkylsulfonyl, p and q are independently 1 or 2; R.sub.1 is hydrogen when R.sub.2 is bonded to R.sub.3 to form a --(CH.sub.2).sub.m --CH.sub.2 -- group or a --CH.dbd.CH-- group; R.sub.3 is hydrogen when R.sub.1 is bonded to R.sub.2 to form a --(CH.sub.2).sub.m --CH.sub.2 -- group or a --CH.dbd.CH-- group; m is 1 or 2; R.sub.4 is NR.sub.5 R.sub.6 wherein R.sub.5 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and R.sub.6 is hydrogen, lower alkyl or a group of the formula (CH.sub.2).sub.n NR.sub.7 R.sub.8 wherein R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are lower alkyl, and n is 2 or 3, ##STR2## wherein R.sub.9 is lower alkyl, ##STR3## wherein R.sub.10 is CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH, lower alkyl, phenyl, phenyl substituted by halogen, CF.sub.3, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or lower alkylthio, benzyl, benzyl in which the phenyl group is substituted by halogen, CF.sub.3, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or lower alkylthio or CO.sub.2 R.sub.11 wherein R.sub.11 is lower alkyl, or a pharmaceutically acceptable a…
