Compounds of the present invention demonstrate sigma receptor affinity. It is this sigma receptor affinity of the compounds of the present invention which makes them so advantageous over the compounds in the prior art. Traditionally, antipsychotic agents have been potent dopamine receptor antagonists. For example, phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine and most butyrophenones such as haloperidol are potent dopamine receptor antagonists. These dopamine receptor antagonists are associated with a high incidence of side effects, particularly Parkinson-like motor effects or extra-pyramidal side-effects (EPS), and dyskinesias including tardive dyskinesias at high doses. Many of these side effects are not reversible even after the dopamine receptor antagonist agent is discontinued.
The present invention is related to antipsychotic agents which are sigma receptor antagonists, not traditional dopamine receptor blockers known in the art, and therefore the compounds of the present invention have low potential for the typical movement disorder side-effects associated with the traditional dopamine antagonist antipsychotic agents while they maintain the ability to antagonize aggressive behavior and antagonize hallucinogenic-induced behavior.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds disclosed in this section are numbered according to Chemical Abstracts rules.
Methods of Preparation
(1) Hydroisoindolines
Dieis-Alder reaction of butadiene or substituted butadienes with maleic anhydride or substituted maleic anhydrides is known to give adducts of type 1- Reaction of these adducts with amines R.sup.1 NH.sub.2 and ##STR21## dehydration of the intermediate maleic acids gives imides of type 2 which on reduction with complexed metal hydrides such as lithium aluminum hydride or sodium bis(methoxyethoxy) aluminum hydride gives the amines 3 of this invention. The double bond can be removed by catalytic hydrogenation in either intermediates 1 or 2 or in the final product 3. The double bond may also be moved to 4.5; 3a,4; or 3a,7a-positions by the action of a catalyst, such as a rhodium salt.
Alternatively, the Dieis-Alder reaction may be carried out with maleimides (4) which gives imides 2 directly. When R.sup.1 contains ##STR22## functionalities that are reduced by complexed metal hydrides, the desired products may be obtained by alkylating amines 3 (R.sup.1 .dbd.H) with R.sup.1 X (where X is, for instance, Cl, Br, I, methanesulfonyl, or p-toluenesulfonyl) in the presence of an organic or inorganic base.
When the butadiene component in the Dieis-Alder reaction is substituted in the 2-position with a protected hydroxyl group (such as, acetoxy or trimethylsilyloxy groups), compounds of type 5 are obtained which on removal of the protecting by known methods give ketones 6. ##STR23## Reduction as described above gives amino alcohols of type 7 which may be oxidized by well-known methods, such as the Swern oxidation, or with pyridine-SO.sub.3, to the ketones 8. The latter may alternatively be obtained by converting imides Z into the corresponding epoxides 9 ##STR24## which on reduction, as described above, give the aminoalcohols 7. The latter may be acylated by standard methods.
A similar series of reactions may be carried out with butadienes carrying a protected hydroxyl group in the 1-position: ##STR25## Ketones 8 may be converted into aminoalcohols 12by reaction with organometallic reagents, such as R.sup.2 Li or R.sup.2 MgX (where X is Cl, Br, or I). ##STR26## Compounds 12may be dehydrated by known methods to give the olefinic amines 13 which on catalytic hydrogenation give the saturated amines 14. The same sequence of reactions may be carried out with ketones 11.
Substituents R.sup.2 may be introduced into the 3a position by conversion of imides 2 or their-saturated analogs into the anion with a strong base such as lithium diisopropylamide followed by treatment with R.sup.2 X where X.dbd.Cl, Br, I, CH.sub.3 SO.sub.3, p-CH.sub.3 C.sub.6 H.sub.4 SO.sub.3 or other suitable leaving groups. ##STR27##
An alternative approach to the hydroisoindoles of the present invention uses the intramolecular Dieis-Alder reaction. For instance, diene amides 15, which may be prepared by standard amide-forming reactions from the known acids and amines, cyclize on heating to give lactams 16 which on ##STR28## reduction give the amines 17 of this invention. This type of reaction is reviewed in Organic Reactions, Vol. 32, Chapter 1. Alternatively, amides of type 18 may be converted via lactams 19 into amines 17. Finally, amines ##STR29## 20may be cyclized to give amines 17directly. In the latter reaction it may be of advantage to use a protecting group R.sup.1 such CF.sub.3 CO to facilitate the cyclization. The protecting group is then removed by standard methods to give amines 17 (R.sup.1 .dbd.H) which are subsequently alkylated with R.sup.1 X, as described earlier.
(2) Hydroisoquinolines
A large number of hydroisoquinolines having hydrogen on the nitrogen atom may be prepared via known methods (Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, Pergamon Press, 1982; Vol. 2; Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Wiley, Vol 38). These may be converted into the compounds of this invention by known methods of introducing substituents R.sup.1 on nitrogen, such as, reaction with a reagents R.sup.1 X (X.dbd.Cl, Br, I, OSO.sub.2 Ar, OSO.sub.2 Me, etc.) in the presence of a base ##STR30## Alternatively, isoquinolines 21 which are known or are available from known ##STR31## methods, may be quaternized by reaction with R.sup.1 X and the quaternary isoquinolinium salts may be reduced by well-known methods with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. Tetrahydroisoquinolines 23 are well known and may be prepared by many different methods (cf. the two references given above). These may be treated with R.sup.1 X as described above and the compounds so obtained may be reduced with hydrogen and a catalyst to give compounds of this invention. ##STR32##
Another approach to the hydroisoquinolines of this invention involves the intramolecular Dieis-Alder reaction as described in section 1 above. This approach is illustrated below: ##STR33## Certain ketones of types 24 and 25 may be obtained by a Robinson annellation of piperidones (cf. for instance, L. Augustine, J. Org. Chem., 33, ##STR34## 1853 (1958)). Ketones 24 and 25 may be modified further. Thus, reduction with complexed metal hydrides, such as sodium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride gives alcohols, e.g. 26 which may be converted ##STR35## into compounds 27by known methods for the removal of hydroxyl groups, for instance, by conversion into the toluenesulfonate followed by reduction. 1,2-Addition of organometallic reagents to ketones 24 or 25 gives substituted alcohols, e.g. 28 in which the hydroxyl groups may also be removed as indicated above to give compounds 29. 1,4,-addition of ##STR36## organocuprates to ketones 24 gives 4a-substituted derivatives 30 (Bartmann et al., Synthetic Communications, 18, 711 (1988)). These may ##STR37## be further modified as described above for ketones 24 and 25.

Utility Section
The compounds of this invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts possess psychotropic properties, particularly antipsychotic activity of good duration with potent sigma receptor antagonist activities while lacking the typical movement disorder side-effects of standard dopamine receptor antagonist antipsychotic agents. These compounds may also be useful as antidotes for certain psychotomimetic agents such as phencyclidine (PCP), and as antidyskinetic agents.
In vitro
Siama Receptor Binding Assay
Male Hartley guinea pigs (250-300 g, Charles River) were sacrificed by decapitation. Brain membranes were prepared by the method of Tam (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80: 6703-6707, 1983). Whole brains were homogenized (20 seconds) in 10 vol (wt/vol) of ice-cold 0.34M sucrose with a Brinkmann Polytron (setting 8). The homogenate was centrifuged at 920.times. g for 10 minutes. The supernatant was centrifuged at 47,000.times. g for 20 minutes. The resulting membrane pellet was resuspended in 10 vol (original wt/vol) of 50 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4) and incubated at 37.degree. C. for 45 minutes to degrade and dissociate bound endogenous ligands. The membranes were then centrifuged at 47,000.times. g for 20 minutes and resuspended in 50 mM Tris HCl (50 mL per brain).
0.5 mL aliquots of the membrane preparation were incubated with unlabeled drugs, 1 nM (+)-[.sup.3 H]SKF 10,047 in 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.4, in a final volume of 1 mL. Nonspecific binding was measured in the presence of 10 .mu.M (+)-SKF 10,047. The apparent dissociation constant (Kd) for (+)-[.sup.3 H]SKF 10,047 is 50 nM. After 45 minutes of incubation at room temperature, samples were filtered rapidly through Whatman GF/C glass filters under negative pressure, and washed 3 times with ice-cold Tris buffer (5 mL).
IC.sub.50 s were calculated from log-logit plots. Apparent K.sub.i s were calculated from the equation, K.sub.i =IC.sub.50 [1+(L/K.sub.d)] (4), where L is the concentration of radio ligand and K.sub.d is its dissociation constant. The data are shown in Table V under the heading SIGMA.
Domamine Receptor Binding
Membranes were prepared from guinea pig striatum by the method described for sigma receptor binding. The membranes were then resuspended in 50 mM Tris HCl (9 mL per brain).
0.5 mL aliquots of the membrane preparation were incubated with unlabeled drugs, and 0.15 nM [.sup.3 H]spiperone in a final volume of 1 mL containing 50 mM Tris HCl, 120 mM NaCl and 1 mM MgCl.sub.2 (pH 7.7). Nonspecific binding was measured in the presence of 100 nM (+)-butaclamol. After 15 minutes of incubation at 37.degree. C., samples were filtered rapidly through Whatman GF/C glass filters under negative pressure, and washed three times with ice-cold binding buffer (5 mL).
IC.sub.50 s were calculated from log-logit plots. Apparent K.sub.i s were calculated from the equation K.sub.i =IC.sub.50 [1+(L/K.sub.d)](4), where L is the concentration of radioligand and K.sub.d is its dissociation constant. The data are shown in Table V under the heading DRB.
The examples of this invention exhibit potent binding affinity for sigma receptors but not for dopamine receptors. Therefore these compounds are not expected to produce the extrapyramidal symptoms that are typical of that produced by haloperidol and other typical antipsychotics that are dopamine receptor antagonists.
In Vitro
Mescaline-Induced Scratching in Mice
This is a modification of the procedure of Fellows and Cook (in Psychotropic Drugs, ed. by S. Garrattini and V. Ghatti, pp. 397-404, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1957) and Deegan and Cook (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 122: 17A, 1958). Male CF1 Mice (Charles River) were injected orally with test compound and placed singly into square (13 cm) Plexiglass observation chambers. Twenty minutes 10 later mice were injected orally with mescaline (25 mg/kg). Beginning 25 minutes after treatment with mescaline (45 minutes after treatment with test compound), scratching episodes were counted during a 5 minute observation period. A scratching episode is defined as a brief (1-2 sec) burst of scratching either the head or the ear with the hind foot. The data are shown in Table V under the heading MUR MESC.
Isolation-Induced Aggression in Mice
This is a modification of the method of Yen et al. (Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. 123: 179-185, 1959) and Jannsen et al. (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 129: 471-475, 1960). Male Balb/c mice (Charles River) were used. After 2-4 weeks of isolation in plastic cages (11.5.times.5.75.times.6 in) the mice were selected for aggression by placing a normal group-housed mouse in the cage with the isolate for a maximum of 3 minutes. Isolated mice failing to consistently attack an intruder were removed from the colony.
Drug testing was carried out by treating the isolated mice with test drugs or standards. Thirty minutes after dosing with test drugs by the oral route, one isolated mouse was removed from its home cage and placed in the home cage of another isolate. Scoring was a yes or no response for each pair. A maximum of 3 minutes was allowed for an attack and the pair was separated immediately upon an attack. Selection of home cage and intruder mice was randomized for each test. Mice were treated and tested once or twice a week with at least a 2 day washout period between treatments. The data are shown in .. under the heading MUR MIIA.

Dosage Forms
Daily dosage ranges from 1 mg to 2000 mg. Dosage forms (compositions) suitable for administration ordinarily will contain 0.5-95% by weight of the active ingredient based on the total weight of the composition.
The active ingredient can be administered orally in solid dosage forms, such as capsules, tablets, and powders, or in liquid dosage forms, such as elixirs, syrups, and suspensions; it can also be administered parenterally in sterile liquid dosage forms.
Gelatin capsules contain the active ingredient and powdered carriers, such as lactose, sucrose, mannitol, starch, cellulose derivatives, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release products to provide for continuous release of medication over a period of hours. Compressed tablets can be sugar coated or film coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric-coated for selective disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can contain coloring and flavoring to increase patient acceptance.
In general, water, a suitable oil, saline, aqueous dextrose (glucose), and related sugar solutions and glycols such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycols are suitable carriers for parenteral solutions. Solutions for parenteral administration preferably contain a water soluble salt of the active ingredient, suitable stabilizing agents, and if necessary, buffer substances. Antioxidizing agents such as sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone or combined, are suitable stabilizing agents. Also used are citric acid and its salts and sodium EDTA. In addition, parenteral solutions can contain preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride, methyl- or propyl-paraben, and chlorobutanol.
Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, A. Osol, a standard reference text in this field.
