BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to heteroarylpiperidines, pyrrolidines and piperazines. More particularly, this invention relates to heteroarylpiperidines, pyrrolidines and piperazines having antipsychotic activity and to their use as antipsychotic drugs.
The therapeutic treatment of schizophrenic patients by administration of neuroleptic drugs, such as chlorpromazine, haloperidol, sulpiride, and chemically closely related compounds, is widespread. While control of schizophrenic symptoms has been successful, treatment with these drugs does not cure the psychotic patient, who will almost certainly relapse if medication is discontinued. There exists a continuing need in the art for antipsychotic drugs for the treatment of psychoses.
Moreover, some of the known neuroleptics produce unwanted side effects. For example, the side effects of many antipsychotic drugs include the so-called extrapyramidal symptoms, such as rigidity and tremor, continuous restless walking, and tardive dyskinesia which causes facial grimacing, and involuntary movements of the face and extremities. Orthostatic hypotension is also common. Thus, there also exists a need in the art for antipsychotic drugs that produce fewer or less severe manifestations of these common side effects.
In addition, because of the frequent long term administration of neuroleptics and the problems with patient compliance, there is a further need in the art for long lasting neuroleptics, which can be formulated into sustained release depot preparations, without the side effects previously mentioned.
Moreover, there has been a need for drugs that can produce other biological effects. For example, relief from pain has been an age-old aspiration which has led to the discovery of natural and synthetic analgetics. Nevertheless, the need for safe and effective analgetics has continued to the present day.

The compounds of the present invention are useful for treating psychoses by virtue of their ability to elicit an antipsychotic response in mammals. Antipsychotic activity is determined in the climbing mice assay by a method similar to those described by P. Protais, et al., Psychopharmacol., 50:1 (1976) and B. Costall, Eur. J. Pharmacol., 50:39 (1978).
Subject CK-1 male mice (23-27 grams) are group-housed under standard laboratory conditions. The mice are individually placed in wire mesh stick cages (4″×10″) and are allowed one hour for adaption and exploration of the new environment. Then apomorphine is injected subcutaneously at 1.5 mg/kg, a dose causing climbing in all subjects for 30 minutes. Compounds to be tested for antipsychotic activity are injected intraperioneally or given oral doses at various time intervals, e.g. 30 minutes, 60 minutes, etc. prior to the apomorphine challenge at a screening dose of 10-60 mg/kg.
For evaluation of climbing, 3 readings are taken at 10, 20, and 30 minutes after apomorphine administration according to the following scale:
Climbing Behavior
Mice with: Score
4 paws on bottom (no climbing) 0
2 paws on the wall (rearing) 1
4 paws on the wall (full climb) 2
Mice consistently climbing before the injection of apomorphine are discarded.
With full-developed apomorphine climbing, the animals are hanging on to the cage walls, rather motionless, over long periods of time. By contrast, climbs due to mere motor stimulation usually only last a few seconds.
The climbing scores are individually totaled (maximal score: 6 per mouse over 3 readings) and the total score of the control group (vehicle intraperitoneally-apomorphine subcutaneously) is set to 100%. ED50 values with 95% confidence limits, calculated by a linear regression analysis, of some of the compounds of the present invention as well as a standard antipsychotic agent are presented in Table 1.

After complete addition, the reaction was heated to reflux and stirred for 6 hours, stirred at ambient temperature for one hour and allowed to sit at room temperature overnight. The reaction was quenched by the careful dropwise addition of water. After no more hydrogen could be observed to evolve, the reaction was filtered and the lithium salt filter cake was washed well with tetrahydrofuran. The filtrate was combined with the filtrate of another run (all together the starting material totaled 300 g, i.e. 820 mmol) and the combined filtrates were concentrated to afford 372 g of a yellow solid suspended in water.
