2-Amino-4-acetylthiazolo[5,4-b]indole and its bromosubstituted analogue contain a free amino group and are initial compounds for chemical modification in order to obtain on their basis functional derivatives having high therapeutic activity. By the interaction of these 2-aminо-4-acetylthiazolo[5,4-b]indoles with succinic and maleic anhydrides, the corresponding imides and amides were obtained, which are of interest for use in order to create on their basis antihypoxic and actoprotective agents.
