the compounds of Formula I experimentally exert anti-depressive, myorelaxing, tranquillising, sedative, analgesic, anti-convulsive, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory and uricosuric activities. Moreover, their toxic effects on animals in the laboratory are little marked.
(I)--Anti-depressive properties
The compounds of Formula I are capable of opposing hypothermia and the ptosis provoked by reserpine in the rat and the mouse, as well as the ulcers provoked by reserpine in the rat. Moreover, they oppose the catalepsy provoked by prochlorperazine in the art.
By way of example, several results obtained are listed in the following table:

(II)--Myorelaxing properties
The compounds of Formula I provoke in the mouse the loss of the righting reflex and inhibit the traction reflexes and the maintenance on a rotating rod.
By way of example, for the compound No. 68175, the Ed50 in the traction test and also on the rotating rod is 130 mg./kg./P.O.
(III)--Tranquilising and sedative action
These effects are shown by a diminution of the exploration curosity in the enclosure of an actimetric cage and of escape in an open field. The compounds of Formula I reduce the aggresiveness provoked by the passage of an electric current and lower the body temperature of animals. The narcotic effects of penthiobarbital are equally reinforced.

The compounds of Formula I are indicated in the case of depression and neurosis by depressive and anxious components. They equally possess a favourable effect against contractural and inflammatory pains, with or without hyperthermia.
They may be administered in the form of tablets and gelules containing 50 to 250 mg. of active ingredient.
Hence, according to the present invention there is also provided a therapeutic composition comprising a compound of Formula I together with a therapeutically-acceptable carrier.
Several clinical tests to show the activity of the compounds of the present invention are given below:
EXAMPLE 1.--Compound No. 6901
1st observation: Mr. M. aged 46.
An intellectual, working in a scientific field of high precision, this man was affected by a spasmodic stiff neck due to anxious and hypochondriac grounds. He complained of cervical pains which prevented him from keeping his head upright and concentrating on his work. As a result, he became apathetic, depressed and profoundly restless about his future.
Compound No. 6901, in tablet form containing 100 mg. of active ingredient, was administered three times daily for 15 days. The cervical pains disappeared and he was able to hold his head in an upright position. Besides this myorelaxant action, there is equally ascertained a complete sedation of his depressive anxieties.
2nd observation: Mr. Z. aged 55.
Professional and financial worries were provoked by a reactive neurosis, manifesting itself by an important irritability making family life very difficult. He complained as well as obstinate insomnia and particularly of diverse symptoms characterised by extra-systoles and occasionally of paroxysmic tachycardia, of globus epigastrus and of transient intestinal troubles. His hands trembled uncontrollably. He sometimes had autolysis notions.
Compound No. 6901 in tablet form containing 100 mg. of active ingredient, was administered daily for three weeks, brought the subject back to a normal state, his hands no longer trembled, his sleep returned to normal and he no longer suffered from cardiac or digestive troubles. His troubles disappeared and he was able to attack his commercial problems with courage.
EXAMPLE 2.--Compound No. 68175
Observation: Mrs. A. aged 48.
This woman was in a pre-menopause phase. For two years, she complained apart from menstrual troubles, exacerbated nervousness, interior tension sensations and trouble with precordial striction. She also complained of insomnia and a certain pain in the legs in the sleeping position.
Compound No. 68175, in tablet form containing 100 mg. of active ingredient, was administered 3 times a day for 12 days.
The sedative and tranquillising action is rapidly manifested, causing the irritability to disappear as well as the pain and insomnia. Simultaneously, the myorelaxant action was equally evidenced, as shown by the complete disappearance of the interior tension and the pain in the legs. Moreover, her sleep returned to normal.
