The invention relates to novel N-substituted azabicycloalkane derivatives, their preparation and use for preparing pharmaceuti-cal active compounds.
It has been disclosed that basically substituted butyrophenone derivatives or benzamide derivatives have neuroleptic or cerebro-protective activity (US 4 605 655, EP 410 114, DE 12 89 B45, EP 400 661, DE 29 41 880, EP 190 472, DE 42 19 973).
The observed high affinities to dopamine and~serotonin receptor s~types appear to play a particular role in this context.
It has now been found that N-substituted 3-azabicycloalkane derivatives of the formula I

In the formula T, the substituents Rl to RE and n preferably have the following meanings:
R1: phenyl, unsubstituted or substituted by fluorine, chlorine, methoxy, trifluoromethyl, vitro, hydroxyl or amino, R2: hydrogen, methyl, n: 2 or 3, R5: p-fluorophenyl, phenyl, p--chlorophenyl, 1-naphthyl, WO 95115327 b O z PCT/EP94/03913 R6: hydrogen, R~: phenyl, p-fluorophenyl, o~aminophenyl, o-N-methylaminophenyl, 5-chlorothien-1-yl, 1-naphthyl, 3-indenyl, 3-chloro-1-benzo thien-2-yl.

Preferred compounds are in particular those where R1 is phenyl which is preferably substituted in the p-position by fluorine or chlorine or in the m-position by fluorine or chlorine and R2 is hydrogen or methyl.
The compounds of the formula I according to the invention can be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula II
Nu-(CHZ)a A II, where A and n have the~meanings given and Nu is a nucleofugic leaving group, with a 3-azabicycloalkane derivative of the for-mula III
Ri B NB III, R

WO 95115327 ~ ~ ~ PCf/EP94I03913 Y

where B, R1 and R2 have the meaning given above, removing any pro-tective groups present and if desired converting the compound thus obtained into the acid addition salt of a physiologically tolerable acid.
Suitable nucleofugic leaving groups for Nu are preferably halogen atoms, in particular bromine or chlorine.
The reaction is expediently carried out in the presence of an inert base, such as triethylamine or potassium carbonate, as acid acceptor in an inert solvent, such as a cyclic saturated ether, in particular tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, or a benzene hydrocar-bon, such as toluene or xylene.
The reaction is in general carried out at from 20 to 150~C, in particular from 80 to 140~C, and is in general complete within from 1 to 10 hours.
The compounds of the formula I according to the invention can either be purified by recrystallization from the customary organic solvents, preferably from a lower alcohol, such as ethanol, or by column chromatography.
Racemates can be resolved into the enantiomers in a simple manner by classical cleavage using optically active carboxylic acids, eg. tartaric acid derivatives, in an inert solvent, eg. lower alcohols.
The free 3-azabicycloalkane derivatives of the formula I can be converted to the acid addition salt of a pharmacologically tolerable acid in a customary manner, preferably by treating a solution with an equivalent of the corresponding acid. Pharma-ceutically tolerable acids are, for example, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, sulfamic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid or citric acid.
The compounds according to the invention have useful pharmaco logical properties. They can be used as neuroleptics (in partic ular atypical), antidepressants, sedatives, hypnotics, CNS pro-tectanta or muscle relaxants. Several of the active qualities can occur in combination in one compound according to the invention.
Demonstration of the pharmacological action is carried out both in vivo and in vitro, substance characterization in particular being possible as a result of the in some cases very high and selective affinity to receptor subtypes, eg. dopamine Dy, D2, D3 \' ~.. -S' R'O 95/15327 and especially Dq receptors; serotonin 1A, 1D and 2 receptors, alpha i and 2 receptors; histamine 1 and muscarine receptors.
The following methods were used for the in vivo characterization:

a) Effect on orientation motility In a new environment, mice show increased exploratory behavior which is manifested by increased motor activity.
This motor activity is measured in light barrier cages for 0-30 mi.n after the animals (female NMRI mice) have been placed in the cages.
ED50: dose which reduces the motor activity by 50% in com-parison with placebo-treated controls.
b) Apomorphine antagonism Female NMRI mice receive 1.21 mg/kg of apomorphine s.c. At this dose, apomorphine leads to motor activation which is manifested by continuous climbing when the animals are kept in wire mesh cages. The climbing is assessed using a score (every 2 min for 30 min):
0: animal has four paws on the floor 1: animal has two paws on the wire Z: animal has four paws on the wire (is climbing).
The climbing behavior can be inhibited by pretreatment with antipsychotics.
ED50: dose which inhibits the climbing activity of the animals by 50% in comparison with placebo-treated controls.
c) Methamphetamine antagonism Female NMRI mice receive 1 mg/kg of methamphetamine p.o. and, after 30 min, are placed in light barrier cages to measure the motor activity (2 animals/cage, 4 cages/doae). The test substances are given orally 30 min before methamphetamine.
The increase in activity due to methamphetamine is calculated for the period 15 to 60 min after the animals have been placed in the measurement cages as the difference between methamphetamine controls and placebo controls and set equal to 100%. The ED100 is the dose of the test substance which completely abolishes the increase in activity.

:Y: 2: _ ,,' WO 95115327 217 7 6,~ p,~ , PC'TIEP94103913 d) L-5-HTP antagonism Female Sprague-Dawley rats receive L-5-HTP in a dose of 316 mg/kg i.p. The animals subsequently develop an excitation syndrome of which the symptoms - forepaw treading and - tremor are assessed with the aid of a score (0 = not present, 1 = moderate, 2 ~ clearly marked) every 10 min in the period from 2D to 6D min after L-5-HTP administration. on average, a score of 17 is achieved after L-5-HTP administration. The test substances are given p.o. 60 min before L-5-HTP. The ED50 is calculated as the dose which on average decreases the control score by 508.
The methods mentioned are suitable for characterizing substances as antipsychotics; in particular, the inhibition of motor stimu-lation induced by methamphetamine is regarded as predictive of an antipsychotic effect. A serotonin-antagonistic effect-may be shown by the inhibition of the L-5-HTP syndrome, a type of effect which is characteristic of the atypical neuroleptics.
The novel compounds show a good effect in these tests.
The invention accordingly also relates to a therapeutic composi-tion, which contains a compound of the formula I or its pharmaco-logically tolerable acid addition salt as active compound in addition to customary excipients and diluents, and the use of the novel compounds in the control of diseases.
The compounds according to the invention can be administered in a customary manner orally or parenterally, intravenously or intra-muscularly.
The dosage depends on the age, condition and weight of the patient and on the mode of administration. As a rule, the daily dose of active compound is from about 1 to I00 mg/kg of body weight on oral administration and from O.I to 10 mg/kg of body weight on parenteral administration.

The novel compounds can be used in conventional solid or liquid pharmaceutical administration forms, eg. as tablets, film tablets, capsules, powders, granules, coated tablets, supposi-tories, solutions, ointments; creams or sprays. These are prepared in a customary manner. The active compounds can in this case be processed with the customary pharmaceutical auxiliaries such as tablet binders, fillers, preservatives, tablet pCT/EPg4/03913 r. , ~y r~ . , disintegrants, flow regulators, plasticizers, wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, solvents, release-delaying agents, antioxidants and/or propellant gases (cf. H. Sucker et al.:
Pharmaaeutische Technologie [Pharmaceutical Technology], Thieme-5 Verlag, Stuttgart, 1978). The administration forms thus obtained normally contain the active compound in an amount from 1 to 99%
by weight. , The substances of the formulae II and III required as starting 10 substances far the synthesis of the novel compounds are known or can be synthesized from similar starting materials according to the greparation methods described in the literature.
