Cyproheptadine derivatives substituted with a trifluoromethylthio group in one of the benzo rings and certain derivatives thereof are potent antipsychotic agents, with a low propensity to induce extrapyramidal side effects experienced with most major tranquilizers, and platelet aggregation inhibitors useful as antithrombotic agents. The antipsychotic activity resides in the levorotatory enantiomer whereas both enantiomers are platelet aggregation inhibitors. The novel compounds are prepared by treatment of the corresponding iodo compound with trifluoromethylthiocopper formed from bis-(trifluoromethylthio)mercury and copper powder.
