Quinoline derivatives and their use as 5-ht6 ligands

A compound of formula (I):

• wherein:
• R1 and R2 independently represent hydrogen or C1-6 alkyl or R1 is linked to R2 to form a group (CH2)2, (CH2)3 or (CH2)4;
• R3, R4 and R5 independently represent hydrogen, halogen, cyano, —CF3, —CF3O, C1-6 alkyl, C1-6 alkoxy, C1-6 alkanoyl or a group —CONR6R7;
• R6 and R7 independently represent hydrogen or C1-6 alkyl or together may be fused to form a 5- to 7-membered aromatic or non-aromatic heterocyclic ring optionally interrupted by an O or S atom;
• m represents an integer from 1 to 4, such that when m is an integer greater than 1, two R2 groups may instead be linked to form a group CH2, (CH2)2 or (CH2)3;
• n represents an integer from 1 to 3;
• p represents 1 or 2;
• A represents a group —Ar1 or —Ar2Ar3;
• Ar1, Ar2 and Ar3 independently represent an aryl group or a heteroaryl group, both of which may be optionally substituted by one or more (eg. 1, 2 or 3) substituents which may be the same or different, and which are selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, cyano, nitro, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, C1-6 alkyl, trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy, pentafluoroethyl, C1-6 alkoxy, arylC1-6 alkoxy, C1-6 alkylthio, C1-6 alkoxyC1-6 alkyl, C3-7 cycloalkylC1-6 alkoxy, C1-6 alkanoyl, C1-6 alkoxycarbonyl, C1-6 alkylsulfonyl, C1-6 alkylsulfinyl, C1-6 alkylsulfonyloxy, C1-6 alkylsulfonylC1-6 alkyl, arylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyloxy, arylsulfonylC1-6 alkyl, C1-6 alkylsulfonamido, C1-6 alkylamido, C1-6 alkylsulfonamidoC1-6 alkyl, C1-6 alkylamidoC1-6 alkyl, arylsulfonamido, arylcarboxamido, arylsulfonamidoC1-6 alkyl, arylcarboxamidoC1-6 alkyl, aroyl, aroylC1-6 alkyl, arylC1-6 alkanoyl, or a group CONR8R9 or SO2NR8R9, wherein R8 and R9 independently represent hydrogen or C1-6 alkyl or together may be fused to form a 5- to 7-membered aromatic or non-aromatic heterocyclic ring optionally interrupted by an O or S atom;
• or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
