Reaction of 8-amino-substituted 1-butyl-3-methyl-7-(1,1-dioxothietanyl-3)xanthines with sodium ethoxide synthesized 8-amino-substituted 1-butyl-3-methylxanthines in 85 – 98% yields. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR and PMR spectroscopy. The synthesized compounds exhibited antidepressant activity.
