Abstract:
The invention provides compounds of formula I for use in treating conditions in which 5-HT6 receptors are involved such as in anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, stress-related disease, panic, a phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder, obesity, post-traumatic stress syndrome, epilepsy, and other CNS disorders.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compounds of Formula (I): wherein R1-R4, p and q have any of the values described in the specification, as well as pharmaceutical salts thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds or salts. The compounds and salts are 5-HT ligands and are useful for treating diseases, disorders, and/or conditions in a mammal wherein activity of a 5-HT receptor is implicated. The compounds and salts are particularly useful for treating diseases of the central nervous system.
Abstract:
Described herein are D4 receptor-selective compounds of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein: A and B are independently selected, optionally substituted, unsaturated 5- or 6-membered, homo- or heterocyclic rings; X.sub.1 is selected from CH.sub.2, O, NH, S, C.dbd.O, CH--OH, CH--N(C.sub.1-4 alkyl).sub.2, C.dbd.CHCl, C.dbd.CHCN, N--C.sub.1-4 alkyl, N-acetyl, SO.sub.2 and SO; X.sub.2 - - - is selected from N.dbd., CH.sub.2 --, CH.dbd. and C(O); Y is selected from N and CH; R.sub.1 represents C.sub.1-4 alkyl; n is 0, 1 or 2; q is 1 or 2; and Z is C.sub.5-10 alkyl optionally substituted with OH, halo, C.sub.1-4 alkyl or C.sub.1-4 alkoxy and optionally incorporating a heteroatom selected from O, N and S; and acid addition salts, solvates and hydrates thereof. Their use as ligands for dopamine receptor identification and in a drug screening program, and as pharmaceuticals to treat indications in which D4 receptor stimulation is implicated, such as schizophrenia, is also described.
