Abstract

The invention relates to a compound selected from those of formula (I): ##STR1## in which R, R₁, R₂ and R₃ are as defined in the specification,

and a medicinal product containing said compound for treating a disorder of the melatoninergic system.

Claims

1. A compound selected from those of formula (I):

##STR28## in which;

R represents hydrogen or a radical chosen from alkyl, substituted alkyl and --O--R'"'"';

with R'"'"' representing hydrogen or a radical selected from alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, substituted cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, substituted cycloalkylalkyl, phenyl, substituted phenyl, phenylalkyl, substituted phenylalkyl, diphenylalkyl and substituted diphenylalkyl;

R₁ represents hydrogen or alkyl;

R₂ means a) ##STR29## in which X¹ represents sulfur or oxygen and R₄₀ represents hydrogen or a radical chosen from alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, substituted cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, substituted cycloalkylalkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, alkynyl and substituted alkynyl;

or b) ##STR30## in which X² represents sulfur or oxygen and R₄₁ represents hydrogen or a radical chosen from alkyl, cycloalkyl and cycloalkylalkyl;

R₃ represents a radical chosen from;

R₅ -alkyl-, with R₅ being substituted or unsubstituted and representing pyridyl,

R₆ --CO--O--,

and R₆ --CO--,

with R₆ representing a radical chosen from R₅ - and R₅ -alkyl- where R₅, being unsubstituted or substituted, is as defined above,

the terms "alkyl" and "alkoxy" inclusively denoting, except where otherwise mentioned, linear or branched groups of 1 to 6 carbon atoms,

the terms "alkenyl" and "alkynyl" inclusively denoting unsaturated, linear or branched groups of 2 to 6 carbon atoms,

the term "cycloalkyl" inclusively denoting a cyclic group of 3 to 8 carbon atoms,

the term "substituted" applied to "alkyl", "alkoxy", "alkenyl", "alkynyl", "cycloalkyl" or "cycloalkylalkyl" means that these groups are substituted with one or more radicals chosen from alkyl, alkoxy and halogen;

the term "substituted" associated with R₅ and with "phenyl", "phenylalkyl" or "diphenylalkyl" means that these groups are substituted with one or more radicals chosen from alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, hydroxyl and trifluoromethyl;

their enantiomers and diastereoisomers,

and their addition salts with a pharmaceutically-acceptable acid or base.

2. A pharmaceutical composition useful in treating sleep disorders containing a compound of claim 1 in combination with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients.

3. A method of treating a mammal afflicted with a disorder of the melatoninergic system comprising the step of administrating to said mammal an effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 for alleviation of said disorder.

4. A method of treating a mammal afflicted with a sleeping disorder comprising the step of administering to the said mammal an effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 for alleviation of said disorder.
