3 Patents EP 392,637 and EP 497,659 of the Applicant Company disclosed various pyrimidinylpiperazinylalkylazole derivatives having anxiolytic and/or tranquilizing properties. Although Patent EP 382,637 claims pyrimidinylpiperazinylalkylazole pyrimidine by a halogen atom, only two examples of compounds of this type are disclosed and, in both cases, it is a bromine atom.
The above discussion of documents, acts, materials, devices, articles and the like is included in this specification solely for the purpose of providing a context for the present invention. It is not suggested or represented that any or all of these matters formed part of the prior art base or were common general knowledge in the field relevant to the present invention as it existed in Australia 0 before the priority date of each claim of this application.
Throughout the description and claims of the specification the word "comprise" and variations of the word, such as "comprising" and "comprises", is not intended to exclude other additives, components, integers or steps.
The Applicant Company has now discovered that the introduction of a fluorine atom as substituent at the 5-position of the pyrimidine, in the special case where the azole is an imidazole trisubstituted by a methyl group at the 2-position and by two chlorine atoms at the 4- and 5- positions, gives rise to the compound which is the subject-matter of the present patent, which compound exhibits some advantageous biological properties which make it of particular use Y:\fiona\NKI\Spccics\79170 doc in its application in human and/or veterinary therapeutics. In particular, the compound which is the subject-matter of the present patent is of use as an antiemetic against seasickness (nausea caused by motion), as an antidepressant or anxiolytic, as an inhibitor of gastric acid secretion or obsessive-compulsive disorders, in panic attacks and in sleep apnea in mammals, including man. In one aspect the present invention provides a method of treatment emesis comprising administration of a therapeutically effective amount of the compound 2-{4-[4,5-dichloro-2-methyl-imidazol-1-yl)butyl]-1and its physiologically acceptable salts of formula CI Cl

ANTIEMETIC ACTIVITY: The compounds obtained in the invention are studied with regard to their effects on nausea in ferrets according to a method described by Costall et al. (Neuropharmacology, 1986, 25, 959-961).
Ferrets of both sexes (0.7-1.4 kg) are individually housed at 21 1 0 C and fed normally. The compound of the example or a vehicle is subsequently administered to them subcutaneously as pretreatment 15 minutes before the administration of copper sulfate S(CuSO 4 5H 2 0; 100 mg/kg by the intragastric route) or cisplatin (10 mg/kg i.v. by means of a permanent jugular cannula). The animals are observed at the beginning of vomiting and then for 30 minutes (copper sulfate) or 240 minutes (cisplatin). Vomiting is characterized by rhythmic abdominal contractions, either associated with the expulsion of solid or liquid matter (vomit) or not associated with the passage of matter via the mouth (nausea). The number of episodes and nausea or vomiting are recorded.
6 The compound of Example 3 is capable of altering the nausea induced by copper sulfate and of opposing the nausea induced by cisplatin.

Matsuki et al. ("Mechanisms and Control of Emesis", John Libbey Emotex, 1992, 233, 323-329).
Males of the species Suncus murinus weighing 58-72 grams are housed in groups of. 3 and are allowed free access to solid food and to water. One hour before the test, they are presented with cat food in their housing cage. At the beginning of the test, the animals receive the treatment with the test product by the i.p.
route. After 30 minutes, they are placed individually in the test boxes (15 x 15 x 10 cm). The boxes are 7 connected to a motor which displaces them over several wheels forward and backward with a frequency which induces nausea in them (travel sickness). This frequency is 1 hertz with an amplitude of displacement of 4 cm. The animals are left in the test boxes for minutes, in order for them to become used to their surroundings, and then the active movement of the cages is begun for 20 minutes, in order to determine the presence or the absence of nausea (without passage of matter from the digestive tract) and of vomiting (with passage of matter from the digestive tract).
The compound of Example 3 markedly inhibits the nausea caused by the movement (travel sickness), reducing both nausea and vomiting, between doses of 0.01 and 15 10 mg/kg by the i.p. route.

Med.
Chem., 1986, 29, 1476).
a) Binding to the 5HTIA serotonin receptor A rat hippocampus homogenate is used, a modification of the method of S.J. Peroutka (Neurochem., 1986, 47, 529) being followed. [3H]-8-HO-DPAT is used as radioligand and serotonin is used to measure the 8 nonspecific binding. The incubation time is 15 minutes at a temperature of 37°C. The radioligand bonded to the protein is separated by filtration through glass fiber filters and the radioactivity retained on the filter is determined by liquid scintillation. The inhibition constant (Ki, nM) is calculated by nonlinear regression analysis using the EBDA/LIGAND program (Munson and Rodbard, Analytical Biochemistry, 1980, 107, 220).
Compound of Example 3 Ki 19.4 nM b) Test of conditioned avoidance response In this test, use is made of male Wistar rats weighing 200 g trained to leap a barrier in a Letica 15 shuttle box (references LI 910 and LI 2700) during the 30 seconds which follow their introduction into the box.
Products having an anxiolytic or tranquilizing activity suppress the conditioned avoidance response.
Training: first day, 11 tests at intervals of 3 minutes. Electric shock in the paws at 30 seconds (5 mA, 0.1 s, 10 s) Second and third days: two daily tests, only with the selected rats {some of the grades of the first day (except the first test) 14}. Day of 25 the test: groups formed by the selected rats. Oral administration of the product or vehicle 45 minutes before the beginning of the study.

INHIBITORY ACTIVITY WITH REGARD TO GASTRIC ACID
SECRETION
This activity is determined by means of the Shay procedure Shay et al., Gastroenterology, 1945, 43; Visscher et al., J. Pharmac. Exp. Ther., 1954, 110, 188) Male Wistar rats weighing from 200 to 250 g are used in this test, which rats are deprived of food up to the day preceding the test, with free access to water. Batches of 4 animals each are used, at least.
9 The rats are anesthetized with ethyl ether, a laparotomy is performed on them and their pylori are tied, and then an abdominal incision is made. The products are administered intraduodenally before suturing the abdominal incision. The dose administered in the first test is 40 mg/kg and then the median effective dose (EDs 0 is determined. The vehicle used is gum arabic at 5% w/v in doubly-distilled water.
Two hours after ligating the pylori, the rats are sacrificed by prolonged anesthesia with ethyl ether and the volume of gastric juice is measured. The total acidity is determined by means of a pH meter equipped with an automatic burette. For each product and for each dose tested, the percentage of inhibition of 15 gastric acid secretion is determined with respect to a reference batch.
Compound of Example 3 EDs 5 1.9 mg/kg, i.d.
The daily dosage in human or veterinary medicine is between 1 mg and 500 mg of product, which may be administered in one or more dispensations. The compositions are prepared in forms which are compatible Swith the administration route used, such as, for example, tablets, drag6es, hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, solutions or suspensions. These composi- 25 tions are prepared by means of known processes and they comprise from 1 to 60% by weight of the active principle and from 40 to 99% by weight of appropriate pharmaceutical vehicle compatible with the active principle and the physical form of the composition which is appropriate. By way of example, the formulae of three pharmaceutical dosage forms which comprise a product of the invention are presented.
