Abstract
Disubstituted N,N'-piperazinyl derivatives are disclosed wherein one substituent is heteroaryl and the other is alkylene attached to the ring nitrogen of substituted 2,5-pyrrolidinedion-1-yl moieties. The substitution pattern of the pyrrolidinedione ring involves either geminal disubstitution, including spiro ring fusion, or 3,4-phenyl ring fusion to give phthalimide derivatives. Heteroaryl substitution on the other piperazine nitrogen comprises pyridine, pyrimidine, and benzisothiazole ring systems. Representative examples of these compounds demonstrate useful central nervous system effects.
Claims23
A compound having Formula I ##STR39## wherein R.sup.1 is C.sub.1-4 alkyl, trifluoromethyl, Z-substituted phenyl with Z being hydrogen or halogen or R.sup.1 can be taken together with R.sup.2 as a C.sub.4-5 alkylene bridge incorporating a fused Z-substituted phenyl ring system, Z being hydrogen or halogen or R.sup.1 can be taken together with R.sup.3 to form a fused cyclohexenyl ring or an X.sup.1 -X.sup.4 tetra-substituted phenyl ring with X.sup.1 -X.sup.4 being independently selected from hydrogen, halogen or nitro;
- R.sup.2 is C.sub.1-4 alkyl, Z-substituted phenyl with Z as defined above, or absent when R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 form a fused phenyl ring system, or taken together with R.sup.1 to form an alkylene bridge as defined above;
- R.sup.3 is H.sub.2 or can be taken together with R.sup.1 to form a fused phenyl ring as defined above;
- B is an R.sup.4,R.sup.5 -disubstituted heterocyclic ring system chosen from the group consisting of benzoisothiazole, pyridine, and pyrimidine, with R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 being independently selected from C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, C.sub.1-4 alkylthio, cyano, halogen, or hydrogen;
- and
- n is 2-4;
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.
