The object of the present invention is to provide novel compounds that will be useful in the treatment of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and other psychoses, anxiety, depression and manic-depressive psychosis.

Prior art 2Q Buspirone is a known substance that has been recently tested in a variety of central nervous system diseases including depression. It has affinity for both SHTlA
receptors and for D2 receptors.

Glennon and colleagues (Glennon RA, Naiman NA, Lyon RA, ;, Titeler M: Journal of Medicinal Chemustry, 1988, 31, 1968-1971) describe some aryl piperazine derivatives, including NAN190 [=1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-(4-~2-phthalimido)butyl)piperazine] that bind to SHTlA
receptors as labelled by ~3H)-8-hydroxyDPAT. In another report, the same group (Raghuparthi RK, Rydelek-Fitzgerald L, Teitler M, Glennon RA: Journal of Medicical Chemistry 1991, 34, 2633-2638) describe some analogs of the SHTlA agonist NAN190 that have affinity at SHTlA
receptors, as well as some binding affinity at al receptors. Further synthetic work in a related area is also described (Glennon RA, Naiman NA, Pierson ME, Smith ~:

Pharmacoloqv It is generally accepted that drugs that bind to dopamine D2 receptors and are antagonists at these receptors will be clinically effective as antipsychotic agents (for example in schizophrenia). It is also believed that a serotoninergic (5HTlA) receptor affinity as an agonist can be a useful property by reducing the incidence of extrapyramidal side effects and by increasing the efficacy of the substance in psychoses. These substances by having a certain ratio of D2 and 5HTlA binding will retain an antipsychotic effect at the same time as having a reduced incidence of side effects and improved efficacy.

Table 1 illustrates the binding affinities (Ki values, nM) of several iof the compounds at dopamine (D2 ) and serotonin ( 5HTlA) receptors and the ratios D2/5HTlA.

The pharmacological methods are described below.

Refrigerated Superspeed Centrifuge. The pellet is resuspended and recentrifuged. The final pellet is resuspended in incubation buffer (0.05 M Tris-HCl pH 7.6 containing 0.1% ascorbic acid, 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaC12, 1 mM MgCl2 and 10 ~M pargylin), to a final :-concentration of 2.5 mg wet weight/0.5 ml. The homogenate is preincubated for 10 min at 37 C.

Receptor binding assay: Various concentrations of the test compound, the radioligand (lnM 3H-Raclopride) and the homogenate are incubated for 60 min at room temperature. Non-specific binding is determined by the addition of 1 ~M (+)-Butaclamol~ The incubation is terminated by rapid filtration through glass fiber paper (Whatman GF/B) and subsequent washing with cold -~
incubation buffer, using a cell harvester equipment. The radioactivity of the filters is measured in a Packard 2200CA liquid scintillation counter. Data is analyzed by non-linear regression using the LIGAND program, and -~
presented as Ki values.

Tissue preparation. Cerebral cortex + hippocampus from each rat was dissected and homogenized in 15 ml ice-cold 50mM Tris-HCl buffer 4.0 mM CaC12 and 5.7 mM ascorbic acid, pH 7.5 with an Ultra-Turrax (Janke & Kunkel, Staufen, FRG) for ten s. After centrifugation for 12.5 -min at 17,000 rpm (39,800 x g in a Beckman centrifuge with a chilled JA-17 rotor (Beckman, Palo Alto, CA, USA),
7~ ~1 0 9 81 6 42 PCT/SE93/00295 the pellets were resuspended in the same buffer and homogenization and centrifugation repeated. To each pellet 5 ml ice-cold 0.32 M sucrose were added and homogenized for 5 sec. These samples were kept frozen at -70 C. When used they were diluted with the buffer to 8 mg tissue/ml and homogenized for 10 sec. The tissue homogenates were incubated for ten min at 37 C and then supplied with 10 ~M pargyline followed by reincubation for 10 min. The binding assay follow~d that described by Peroutka, J. Neurochem. 47, 529-540, (1986). The incubation mixture (2 mi) contained 3H-8-oH-DPAT (0.25 tQ 8 nM), 5 mg ml tissue homogenate in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer containing 4.0 mM CaC12 and 5.7 mM ascorbic acid, pH 7.5. Six different concentrations of 3H-8-oH-DPAT were analyzed. Binding experiments were started by the addition of tissue homogeT :e and .ollowed by incubation at 37 C for ten min. ~ ~ incubation mixtures were filtered through Whatman GF/B glass filters with a Brandel Cell Harvester (Gaithersburgh, MD, USA). The filters were washed twice with 5 ml ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.S, and counted with S ml Ultima GoldTM
(Packard) in a Beckman LS 3801 scintillation counter. `
Non-specific binding was measured by the addition of 10 ~M S-~T to the reaction mixture. The binding data were processed by non-linear least squares computer analysis ~Munson and Rodbard, Anal. Biochem. 107, 220-239, (1980).
Data were presented as Ki values (nM).
