Abstract: Cyclopropylmethylamines which are substituted on the 2-position of nitrogen heterocycles so as to provide new compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen; the other "R" variables in general are hydrogen, lower-alkyl, cyclopropyl, or lower-alkyl substituted cyclopropyl; and the n's are the numbers 0 to 3, inclusive, and acid addition salts thereof, are disclosed. The compounds are cardiovascular agents, which are depressive of the central nervous system. Their effects include hypnosis, analgesia, and neuro-modulation. They can be used as anti-hypertensive agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cyclopropylmethyl amines substituted by a heterocyclic radical.More particularly the heterocyclic radical is a nitrogen containing ring with 5, 6 or 7 links interrupted by another hetero atom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulphur and imino--NH--The invention also relates to the acid addition salts thereof with physiologically compatible mineral or organic acids.The invention extends to the processes for making them and the intermediates produced hereto.The invention also includes the pharmaceutical compositions incorporating as active ingredient at least one compound of the invention with an inert carrier.The compounds have therapeutic utility namely on the cardio-vascular diseases and on the neuro-psychological disturbances.
