10-Hydrazino acetyl phenothiazine (II) has been converted to N-10-acetyl amino phenothiazine-N-phenyl thiourea (III) which have been converted to 3-aryl-1-(10-phenothiazine acetyl amino)-2,3-dihydro-2-thioxo-4,6 (1H, 5H) pyrimidinones (IV) on condensation with aryl amines and aryl aldehydes yielded 3-aryl-1-(10-Phenothiazine acetyl amino)-5-(substituted phenyl amino methyl)2,3-dihydro-2-thioxo-4,6 (1H, 5H) pyrimidinediones (Va-k) and 3-aryl-1-(10-phenothiazine acetyl amino)-5-(substituted phenylidine)-2,3-dihydro-2-thioxo-4,6 (1H, 5H) pyrimidinediones (vl-o). The compounds were screened for their antidepressant activity against a tricyclic antidepressant (imipramine). Compounds Va, Vf, Vm and Vi exhibited activity better than imipramine with no toxicity (ALD50 > 1000 mg/kg) but Vi showed some side effects.
