The anxiosedative properties of 2-hydroxyimino-3-indolylyl(aryl)-4-oxo-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydrobenzofuranon derivatives have been studied using the open-field test, elevated plus-maze test, and conflict drinking procedure as developed by Vogel. It is established that all derivatives with both indole and aryl substituents produce a sedative effect. However, an anxiolytic effect is determined by the presence of indole substituent in the third position of the hexahydrobenzofuran molecule.
