Abstract

This invention pertains to novel 3-substituted-aminomethyl-3-substituted-oxy-17a-methyl-17a-lower-alkyl-17a-aza-D-homo-5-alpha-androstane compounds useful as muscle relaxants, methods for preparing such compounds, and methods for administering muscle relaxation, wherein the novel compounds are represented the general Formula: ##STR1## including optically active isomeric forms, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, wherein: R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower-alkyl, lower-alkyl carbonyl, and di(lower-alkyl)amino carbonyl; R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of: di(lower-alkyl)substituted amino; lower-cycloalkyl lower-alkyl, lower-alkyl substituted amino;, 1-piperidinyl; 1-pyrrolidinyl; 1-hexamethyleneimino; 4-morpholinyl; 1-piperazinyl, 1-(4-methylpiperazinyl), tri(lower-alkyl)substituted amino, 1-(1-methylpiperidinyl); 1-(1-methylpyrrolidinyl); and 1-(4,4-dimethylpiperazinyl), each lower-alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 is a lower-alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and X.sup.-is a pharmaceutically acceptable anion.
