Abstract: The present invention is concerned with novel compounds of formula (I) which are inhibitors of a membrane tripeptidyl peptidase responsible for the inactivation of endogenous neuropeptides such as cholecystokinis (CCKs). The invention further relates to methods for preparing such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds as well as the use as a medicine of said compounds.

Abstract: The compounds are of the class 1,4-benzodiazepines of the formula: An illustrative compound is (S)-6-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3-methyl-4-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-9-amine. The compounds are useful as intermediates in the preparation of tetrahydroimidazo[1,4]benzodiazepin-2-(thi)ones.
