Synthesis of amino derivatives of 10-(diphenylmethylene)-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.0(2,6)]dec-8-ene-3,5-dione as potential psychotropic and/or anti HIV agents.

A series of amino derivatives of 10-(diphenylmethylene)-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.0(2.6)]dec-8-ene-3,5-dione, analogues of chlorpromazine and aminoperazine have been prepared. These compounds are expected to have antipsychotic and/or anti HIV activity. Molecular structure of III was confirmed by an X-ray structure analysis. The cytotoxicity and anti HIV activity of derivatives I-IV were determined.
