The research explores the synthesis and pharmacological properties of various thioxanthene and dibenzo[b,f]thiepin derivatives. The study involves the use of chemicals such as 3-methylthiophenol, 3-ethylthiophenol, 2-iodobenzoic acid, (2-iodophenyl)acetic acid, potassium hydroxide, copper, sulfuric acid, polyphosphoric acid, 3-dimethylaminopropylmagnesium chloride, and various piperazine derivatives. These chemicals are used in a series of reactions to produce compounds with potential antihistamine and psychotropic activities. The synthesized compounds are tested for their pharmacological effects, including antihistamine activity, central depressant effects, cataleptic activity, and antireserpine activity. The research aims to investigate the impact of substituents in unusual positions on the pharmacological profiles of these compounds, with potential applications in treating conditions like gastric hyperacidity, ulcers, and central nervous system disorders.
