The present invention includes methods of treating psychosis and cognition disorders in a mammal which comprises administering the composition of the compound of structural formula (I), (V), (VIII), (XIV) and (XVI) to a mammal in need of psychosis and cognition therapy.

This activity was examined through the anti-climbing behavior test, i.e. the test for suppressing the climbing behavior induced by apomorphine in mice. A designated amount of the test compound was intraperitoneally or orally administered to several groups of ICR CD strain male mice (body weight, 20 to 25 g; one group, 6 mice), and each of the animals was charged in an individual column cage of 12 cm in diameter and 14 cm in height having metal poles (each pole, 2 mm in diameter) vertically installed and arranged along the periphery with interval of 1 cm.

Compounds to be tested for antipsychotic activity are injected intraperitoneally or given orally at various time intervals, e.g. 30 minutes, 60 minutes, etc., prior to the apomorphine challenge at a screening dose of 0.1-60 mg/kg.

For evaluation of climbing, 3 readings are taken at 10, 20 and 30 minutes after apomorphine administration according to the following scale:

Score

Evaluation

0

All the paws were on the floor

1

One paw seized the pole of the cage

2

Two paws seized the pole of the cage

3

Three paws seized the pole of the cage

4

All four paws seized the pole of the cage

Mice consistently climbing before the injection of apomorphine will be discarded.

With full-developed apomorphine climbing, the animals are hanging on to the cage walls, rather motionless, over longer periods of time. By contrast, climbing due to mere motor stimulation usually only lasts a few seconds.

The climbing scores are individually totaled (maximal score: 12 per mouse over 3 readings) and the total score of the control group (vehicle intraperitoneally-apomorphine subcutaneously) is set to 100%. ED50 values with 95% confidence limits, calculated by a linear regression analysis, of some of the compounds of the instant invention as well as a standard antipsychotic agent are presented in Table I.

In therapeutic use as agents for various CNS disorders such as psychosis and cognition disorder, the compounds of the present invention, alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, are administered to patients at a dosage of from 0.7 to 7,000 mg per day. For a normal human adult with a body weight of approximately 70 kg, the administration amount is translated into a daily dose of 0.01 to 100 mg per kg of body weight. The specific dosage employed, however, may vary depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of patient's condition and the activity of the compound. The determination of optimum dosages for a particular situation must clinically be done and is within the skill of the art.

In utilizing the compounds of the present -invention for the central nervous system, it is preferred to administer the compounds orally. Since the compounds absorb well orally, it usually will riot be necessary to resort to parenteral administration. For oral administration, the compounds having the general formula I is preferably combined with a pharmaceutical carrier. The ratio of the carrier to the compound of structural formula I is not critical to express the effects of the medicine on the central nervous system, and they can vary considerably depending on whether the composition is to be filled into capsules or formed into tablets. In tableting, various edible pharmaceutical carriers or the mixture thereof can be used. Suitable carriers, for example, are a mixture of lactose, diabasic calcium phosphate and/or corn starch. Other pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients can be further added, including lubricants such as magnesium stearate.

A mixture of 4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)piperidine (5 mmol) and styrene oxide(5 mmol) was refluxed in 30 ml of isopropanol for 4 h. This solution was then concentrated on a rotary evaporator and diluted with ethyl acetate. This mixture was then washed with brine, the resulting organic layer was dried and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was dissolved in THF(50 ml) and was added with 1,1′-carbonyl diimidazole (2 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h, followed by the addition of excess ammonium hydroxide (10 ml) at 0° C. After 5 h stirring at room temperature, water was added to terminate the reaction. The organic layer was extracted 3 times with dichloromethane, dried and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:2). The resulting carbamic acid 2-[4-(4-fluoro-benzoyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-1-phenyl-ethyl ester was dissolved in THF and the solution was treated with a solution of HCl in ethyl ether. The resulting precipitate was filtered to give carbamic acid 2-[4-(4-fluoro-benzoyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-1-phenyl-ethyl ester; hydrochloride.

A mixture of 4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)piperidine (5 mmol) and 2-(4-ethylphenyl)-oxirane (5 mmol) was refluxed in 30 ml of isopropanol for 4 h. This solution was then concentrated on a rotary evaporator and diluted with ethyl acetate. This mixture was then washed with brine, the resulting organic layer was dried and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was dissolved in THF (50 ml) and was added with 1,1′-carbonyl diimidazole (2 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h, followed by the addition of excess methanol (10 ml) at 0° C. After 5 h stirring at room temperature, water was added to terminate the reaction. The organic layer was extracted 3 times with dichloromethane, dried and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting carbonic acid 1-(4-ethyl-phenyl)-2-[4-(4-fluoro-benzoyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-ethyl ester methyl ester was obtained by column chromatography.
