Definitions

  • the present invention relates to nitro-substituted phenyl-piperazine compounds of general formula I,
  • medicaments comprising said nitro-substituted phenyl-piperazine compounds as well as the use of said nitro-substituted phenyl- piperazine compounds for the preparation of medicaments, which are particularly suitable for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of disorders or diseases that are at least partially mediated via 5-HT 6 receptors.
  • the superfamily of serotonin receptors includes 7 classes (5-HT 1 -S-HT 7 ) encompassing 14 human subclasses [D. Hoyer, et al., Neuropharmacology, 1997, 36, 419].
  • the 5-HT ⁇ receptor is the latest serotonin receptor identified by molecular cloning both in rats [FJ. Monsma et al., MoI. Pharmacol., 1993, 43, 320; M. Ruat et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 1993, 193, 268] and in humans [R. Kohen, et al., J. Neurochem., 1996, 66, 47].
  • Compounds with 5-HT 6 receptor affinity are useful for the treatment of various disorders of the Central Nervous System and of the gastrointestinal tract, such as irritable intestine syndrome. Compounds with 5-HT 6 receptor affinity are also useful in the treatment of anxiety, depression and cognitive memory disorders [M. Yoshioka et al., Ann. NY Acad. Sci., 1998, 861 , 244; A. Bourson et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. , 1998, 125, 1562; D.C. Rogers et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. Suppl., 1999, 127, 22P; A. Bourson et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. , 1995, 274, 173; AJ.
  • Compounds with 5-HT 6 receptor affinity are useful for treating infant hyperkinesia (ADHD, attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder) [W. D. Hirst et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. , 2000, 130, 1597; C. Gerard et al., Brain Research , 1997, 746, 207; M. R. Pranzatelli, Drugs of Today , 1997, 33, 379].
  • ADHD attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder
  • Food ingestion disorders are a serious, fast growing threat to the health of humans of all age groups, since they increase the risk of developing other serious, even life-threatening diseases such as diabetes or coronary diseases as well.
  • an object of the present invention was to provide compounds that are particularly suitable as active ingredients in medicaments, especially in medicaments for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of disorders or diseases related to 5-HT 6 receptors such as food intake related disorders.
  • nitro-substituted phenyl-piperazine compounds of general formula I, Ia and Ib given below show good to excellent affinity for 5-HT 6 -receptors. These compounds are therefore particularly suitable as pharmacologically active agents in a medicament for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of disorders or diseases related to 5-HT 6 -receptors such as food intake related disorders like obesity.
