Abstract

The invention is concerned with basically-substituted imidazodiazepinones of the formula: ##STR1## wherein A and the two carbon atoms denoted by .alpha. and .beta. together signify: ##STR2## Q signifies one of the residues: ##STR3## R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each signify hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl, lower hydroxyalkyl, lower alkoxy-lower alkyl, (C.sub.3 -C.sub.6)-cycloalkyl, (C.sub.3 -C.sub.6)-cycloalkyl-lower alkyl, amino-lower alkyl, lower alkylamino-lower alkyl, di-lower alkylamino-lower alkyl or aryl-lower alkyl or together with the nitrogen atom signify a 5- to 8-membered heterocycle optionally containing a further hetero atom or a fused benzene ring; R.sup.3 signifies hydrogen and R.sup.4 signifies lower alkyl or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 together signify a di- or trimethylene group and; R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 each signify hydrogen, halogen, trifluoromethyl, lower alkoxy or nitro; with the carbon atom denoted by .gamma. having the S-configuration when R.sup.3 is different from hydrogen, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. These compounds can be used as anxiolytic and/or anticonvulsant and/or muscle relaxant and/or sedative-hypnotic active sub…
