Synthesis and properties of some new 11-acyl-5,11-dihydro-6H-pyrido [2,3-b] [1,4]-benzodiazepin-6-ones

The synthesis of 11-acyl-5,11-dihydro-6H-pyrido [2,3-b]-[1,4] benzodiazepin-6-ones (III), (V-IX), is described as well as their spectroscopic characteristics, dipole moments and partition coefficients. The same properties are determined for their N-oxide analogues (X) and (XI), while pharmacological data for some of the above compounds are compared with those of pirenzepin (I), a well known antiulcer drug.
