Abstract

Described herein are D4 receptor-selective compounds of the general formula I: ##STR1## wherein: A and B are independently selected, optionally substituted, saturated or unsaturated 5- or 6-membered, homo- or heterocyclic rings; X.sub.1 is selected from CH.sub.2, O, NH, S, C.dbd.O, CH--OH, CH--NEt.sub.2, C.dbd.CHCl, C.dbd.CHCN, N--C.sub.1-4 alkyl, N-acetyl, SO.sub.2 and SO; X.sub.2 --is selected from N.dbd., CH.sub.2 --, CH.dbd., C(O)--, O--, and S--; n is 1 or 2; and Z is selected from C.sub.1-8 alkyl optionally substituted with a substituent selected from OH, halo, C.sub.1-4 alkyl and C.sub.1-4 alkoxy; and acid addition salts, solvates and hydrates thereof. Their use as ligands for dopamine receptor identification and in a drug screening program, and as pharmaceuticals to treat indications in which the M1/M2 receptor is implicated, such as schizophrenia, is also described.
