Abstract

Certain substituted 1-phenyl-3-(aminoalkylidene)-2(1H,3H)-indolones are highly potent gabaergic agents, valuable in the treatment of individuals suffering from schizophrenia or reversing the side effects of a previously or concurrently administered neuroleptic agent; or in the treatment of epilepsy. A wider class of substituted 1-phenyl-3-(aminoalkylidene)-2(1H,3H)-indolones, together with 1-phenyl-3-(2-pyrrolidinylidene)-2(1H,3H)-indolones, and homologs thereof, are valuable in the treatment of anxiety.
