title: Synthesis, antidepressant evaluation and QSAR studies of novel 2-(5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-3-ylthio)-N-(substituted phenyl)acetamides.
abstract: In search for novel antidepressants, a series of 2-(5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-3-ylthio)-N-(substituted phenyl)acetamides was synthesized and screened for potential antidepressant activity by tail suspension test (TST) in mice. Number of synthesized compounds exhibited impressive antidepressant activity, measured in terms of percentage decrease in immobility duration (%DID). QSAR analysis was also undertaken which correlated three parameters FOSA, PISA, and glob with biological activity.
