Abstract:
This invention is directed to phenylimidazole derivatives having the formula I: wherein HET is an optionally substituted heteroaromatic group; -L- is selected from the group consisting of —CH2—CH2—, —S—CH2—, —CH2—S— and —CH═CH—, R1 is selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C6 alkyl; C1-C6 alkyl(C3-C8)cycloalkyl; C1-C6 hydroxyalkyl, CH2CN, CH2C(O)NH2, C1-C6 arylalkyl, and C1-C6 alkyl-heterocycloalkyl, and R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are selected individually from the group consisting of H, C1-C6 alkoxy and halogen, or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, which are PDE10A enzyme inhibitors useful in the treatment of psychiatric disorders and drug addiction.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to compounds, which are PDE10A enzyme inhibitors. The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present invention also provides processes for the preparation of the compounds of formula I. The present invention further provides a method of treating a subject suffering from a neurodegenerative disorder comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I. The present invention also provides a method of treating a subject suffering from a drug addiction comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I. The present invention further provides a method of treating a subject suffering from a psychiatric disorder comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I.
