Abstract

Compounds of formula I, or a salt thereof or a hydrate thereof, as follows: 1 wherein X and Y are selected independently from hydrogen and aryl, which aryl is unsubstituted or substituted one or more times by hydroxy, hydroxyC1-6alkyl, C1-6alkoxyC1-6alkyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, amino, C1-6alkylamino, di(C1-6alkyl)amino, arylC1-6alkoxy, C1-6alkyl, C1-6alkoxy or halo, which alkyl or alkoxy groups are unsubstituted or substituted one or more times by halo; m and n are independently 0 to 3, provided that m and n are not both 0; A represents a single bond or is —(CRpa Rpb)p— wherein p is 1-3 and Rpa and Rpb are selected independently from hydrogen, C1-6alkyl, C1-6alkoxy and halo, which alkyl or alkoxy groups are independently substituted one or more times by halo; B represents a C4-8 saturated or unsaturated ring, which ring is unsubstituted or substituted one or more times by C1-6alkyl, C1-6alkoxy, aryl, aryloxy, hydroxy, oxo, halo, amino, C1-6alkylamino, di(C1-6 alkyl)amino, and C1-6alkylamido, which C1-6alkyl or C1-6alkoxy groups are unsubstituted or substituted one or more times by halo, which aryl group is unsubstituted or substituted one or more times by aryl, heterocyclyl, aryloxy, arylC1-6alkoxy, amino, C1-6alkylamino, di(C1-6alkyl)amino, arylC1-6alkyl, hydroxy, C1-6alkenoxy, C1-6alkoxy, halo, or C1-6alkyl, which C1-6alkyl may be substituted one or more times by halo, and which aryl group is linked to said ring by a single bond or is benzo-condensed therewith are ligands of the ORL-1 receptor.
