Compounds of the class of (2-benzofuranyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines and (2-benzofuranyl)-piperidines which at the ring nitrogen atom are unsubstituted or substituted by a substituent of the class of certain aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and araliphatic radicals, and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts have valuable pharmacological properties. In particular, they inhibit monoamine oxidase and antagonize the action of tetrabenazine. They are useful as active ingredients for therapeutic compositions for the treatment of mental depression. Specific embodiments are 4-(2-benzofuranyl)-piperidine, 2-(5,6-dimethyl-2-benzofuranyl)-piperidine and their hydrochlorides. |
